Hi all....i think i may have experienced some physical form of panic attacks last month. My mind was clear & not anxious at all...but after the attack of course im getting a bit scared because not sure what is that.

Its started with some slight flu, cough & then the racing heart which only can be stopped with coughing as well. During the attack i breathed normally, but only shaking & throbbing at my left neck. My pulse was at 130+ during the panic attack. lasted for few minutes & longest about 30 mins.

The last one i got 2 weeks ago, i was just finished my shower when i feel slight flu & cough. put on my fitbit and was amused to see my heart rate suddenly jump from 110, 120, 169 and 171! holy shit! my mind was totally clear but im not sure about my body since i'm physically quite tired & just starting night shift. The heart rate stuck at 170+ for about 2 minutes before dropping back to 100+ just in 2-3 beats....gila ah. the racing beats was spontaneously stopped by coughing.

After the attack im not really feeling 100%. i get terrible back pain, left chest pressure, numbing on hands & jaw for hours...and intermittent flipflop fluttering feeling in my chest.


I have the opposite of hypochondria, i hated to seek medical treatment & scared going to the doctors. I googled every imaginable symptoms from heart attack to Afib/SVT & stroke...but nah. my could care less attitude makes me settled on this should be just physical form of panic attacks.

Im so glad i found this thread!

Im very sure im not hyperventilating...lol

probably its just a sudden case of hypoglycemia, or food intolerance or it can be anything...lol.


i still believe to cure all these sort of thing, mental or physical....its all coming from the food we eat.
i dont have any problems now...yay! sleep better, felt fine in my head & happy overall.

I would like to know is everyone in this thread has properly diagnosed their anxiety symptoms by medical professional or self diagnose?

do your anxiety always accompanied by physical symptoms?

Returning to this thread again...feels need to vent off a little.

Im not sure what happened, i thought me and physical anxiety symptoms has made peace since it's been 5 months im without any noticeable "attacks & palpitations".

Here's the story, I can say im quite competitive when it comes to gaming, especially PvP games. the excitement & adrenaline rush sometimes sends my heart to race at 140+ bpm at certain time without any external stimulants. (it's only stupid Mobile Legends tho...lol but the anticipation to climb the ranks are real) Its slight uncomfortable but fun nevertheless. Depends on team, it's very seldom i got this kind of euphoria...

Last thursday, basically doing nothing (i just brushing my teeth) i felt the sense of adrenaline rush & it gave me palpitations for the whole day! the racing was not that fast, about 120+ bpm, but man this one is so stubborn to let it cool. Im getting more uncomfortable, took 1 extra magnesium/calcium pill, stripped off in my underwear & lie down to cool off my body while try taking a nap until the pounding & pulse normalized to lower 80s. The palpitations started around 10.30am & cools off at 4pm. I thought if this palpitations wont stop in the evening it's time to eventually get help, but thank goodness it has finally stopped. As usual, the random palpitation session makes me a little tired, I sleep like the dead for few days.

Is it possible for that massive adrenaline rush may create havoc to autonomous nervous system?
