Panic attack???

Shaunamumma

My housemate made me extreamly angry about something, when i went to confront her, I noticed my heart racing and myself getting short of breath and therefore lightheaded, Was this a panic attack?

i will prevent this from happening again, but could it of harmed my baby?
It will not happen again!

I think it sounds like an anxiety attack. I'd mention it to your doctor, but I doubt it hurt or would hurt your baby.

When I have a panic attack I can usually tell one is coming on. I get the heart pounding, cold sweat, rushing in my ears and then,even though my eyes are open, everything pretty much goes black. While my  limbs don't go numb, they get very heavy. The last time I had one was about 2 years ago while sitting in a a hospital waiting for the nurse to finish up explaining things for our tour for expecting parents.

For me, I have to conscientiously calm myself  down and think calming thoughts and try to relax. Luckily, DH was beside and knew what was happening. I was able to mumble to him right before I totally blacked out. I could hear what was going on, but couldn't see anything. It's got to be one of the worst feelings. it also didn't help the nurse running it wanted to stop talking and since I was sitting up front, i knew everyone was staring at me. Luckily, DH told her to continue and pretty much pretend I wasn't there because she was actually added more stress to me....duh!
