Anxiety attack??

in October 2012 Moms
Dh and I had a date night tonight. We were at dinner enjoying ourselves and all of a sudden I felt an INTENSE feeling of panic and anxiety then I felt a warm rush through my whole body and some chest pressure. I tried talking myself out of it but it was bad. I went to the bathroom and felt fine then came back and it happened again! We got our food to go and came home. I feel ok now just spooked. Has anyone experienced this? I have never had anything like this happen before. I take an anxiety pill for post partum anxiety but feel fine and want to stop it. Nothing tragic has happened. Just wondering what is going on w me!

    As someone who's had a few panic attacks in my day, I can say they often come out of nowhere and it's difficult to pinpoint a trigger. Has there been any big changes in your life? We're you feeling sick? Dehydrated? Something on the news that bugged you?

    I'd probably stick to taking your anxiety meds for a bit. And pay attention to if your anxiety starts rising for any reason. When my anxiety was at its worst, very little things could send me into full on panic attack. For example, flying back from Mexico with DH I had the worst panic attack I'd ever had, all it was was feeling sick during turbulence. And the attack was so bad I could barely walk off the plane.

    Anxiety is an evil beast sometimes. Hang in there! And like Angela said, it doesn't hurt to ask your doc. Feel free to pm me if you have any other questions.

    Thank you for the reply. The only thing I've been worrying about is going back to work soon. ( I'm a teacher and been off all summer) so maybe that is triggering it. I think I'll watch it and call the dr if I still feel it. I'm just assuming it was an anxiety attack, never had one but it felt like that's what it was. Dh always says "relax" and "what's wrong" he doesn't understand it is out of my control and I don't know what's wrong.

    Another thing that could have set it off is that you have been feeling relaxed, and so you subconsciously let your guard down. I had PTSD and just when I thought everything was okay, I'd get a panic attack, but they got rarer and rarer and then never. Even big triggers stopped setting them off.
