I get that too, it's worse when you don't really have a reason to feel like that. I find a warm/dark spirit tipple helpful - rum, sloe gin, whisky probably (except I hate it).
Yes, absolutely.

I thought I had some terminal illness, crushing nausea from nowhere, even when around friends a feeling of panic but I was asked the questions and answered them. Now I just "refer to page 4" if it rears it's ugly head again.
I realise it's not the same for everybody but there's a lot of common ground.
Be well :)
I get very anxious at times, sometimes for good reason, usually for no reason at all. I play solitaire on my phone or iPad, if I get on a 'winning streak' I then think everything is going to be ok (everything is always ok anyway, just depends on your point of view). x
How old are you tinks? If you are at menopause age this is one of the symptoms you might get. I would get panic attacks just as you described them and feel as if I could not breathe until I had managed a deep breath and sigh. It is not pleasant while it is happening, but it will pass.
