Hi vossy, having breathing problems and a
racey heart is not exactly an attack but
rather symptoms of anxiety. I have these
symptoms all the time but it is getting
better lately. Attacks are episodes that
serously leave you breathless and dizzy.

Thanks for the reply am taking st johns
wort now seems to help a little
Actually, I have to disagree. You may
have witnessed a "panic episode" but it
was definitely not a "panic attack." or
maybe you simply felt anxiety. A panic
attack is the scariest of the three where
you feel like youre having a heart attack
and you hyperventilate, get dizzy, start
to cry, get big headache, have a tingly
feeling throughout the body, and have lost
control. A panic episode is when you
hyperventilate and get dizzy but still
have some control--it is on the brink of
having a panic attack. Basic anxiety are
symptoms like headaches, migraines, tense
muscles/nerves, crying, when you grind
your teeth, change in appetite, change in
sleep patterns, and lots lots more.
