I think I just had panic attack
I'm having an extremely stressful day today at work. About an hour ago I was trying to juggle 4 people's questions at once, trying to finish a report that was due this morning, and trying to figure out where the heck my boss was to help me out. (Im a manager in a call center-esque company) all of a sudden I get that feeling like when you stand up really quick after sitting, I started getting short of breath, and I started getting this wierd fluttering feeling on the right side of my lower chest... like a muscle spasm. Obviously I was pretty stressed....after going outside for a little bit I come back in and my boss tells me "Congratulations you just had your first panic attack! You're a real manager now!!"
I went online and found this page: http://www.emedicinehealth.com/panic...s/page3_em.htm Did I really just have a panic attack? One of my coworkers had one a few months back and he was rushed to the ER and took a few days off....Im not dizzy anymore, but that spasm is still there. Do I need to go to the doctor for something like this or is it relatively common in high stress jobs? I know most people will just say go to the doctors but I have little to no time to do that and I have a massive fear of needles, which Im sure they will want to use to run a blood test. Please discuss |

Either a panic attack or a heart attack. Recommend alcohol to alleviate symptoms.

I love that when you had a panic attack you googled and then posted to OOT.

I called the doc's office but the nurse refused to tell me anything without seeing me in the office. as many people here have high stress jobs I thought someone may have had the same experience.

Re: I think I just had panic attack
You're obv not that stressed or pressed for time if you have time type this post during your shift.
I on the other hand am at work, am insanely busy, have deadlines to meet, yet I'm not stressed one bit [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Its all what you make of it... |

Re: I think I just had panic attack
I had the same type of thing. Stressed out etc and it led to having a seizure. Let's hope it was a panic attack.
