I am 24.One night I was driving home from work and started thinking about some things that had been stressing me out. All of a sudden my face got really hot and I felt like I was going to pass out.I pulled over and called my mom.I felt as though someone had knocked the wind out of me and it was hard to breath and my hand tensed up and i couldnt open them.My parents came and got me, and helped me calm down,I felt a little weird for the next couple of days but nothing like I had experienced that night.Could this have been a panic or anxiety attack?What is the difference?
I know I have experienced some anxiety…usually after a night of going out and drinking…it would get so bad that I wouldn’t even want to drive.Its hard to explain how I felt…just anxious and worried with really no apparent reason.That was over a yr and a half ago,I have a completely different lifestyle.no drinking at all.It’s strange but sometimes when I eat my face starts to feel hot and i start worrying!
