It sounds very much to me as if you were "Agitated" to begin with which is a form of anxiety. I suffer with this on a constant basis. I've had to apologise to DJ twice today because I cracked a sh*tty not knowing why but feeling the agitation.

I couldn't put my finger on it at first but soon realised that I had committed myself to leaving the house today for a short time. And it was only sitting here after I had done that, when I realised what it was. I was very anxious because I had to go out and I had promised myself I would not take a xanax because it was such a short trip in and out of a shop. I wasn't anxious because I didn't take a pill, I was anxious because I knew I had to go out, and for an agoraphobic that is a really big thing.

I nearly had a siezure in the shop because there were uncovered fluro lights there and I am a photophobic epileptic. I started to panic because I didn't bring my coloured polaroid sun glasses which would have helped me. But the problem didn't jsut stop when we got back into the house. I sat for a while and became more agitated. Then I realised that I still had my "going out clothes" on. As soon as I took those clothes off I heaved a sigh of relief and sat down in comfort wearing my night gown, robe and wooly socks.

But I nearly hyperventilated as I have done on all my full blown panic attacks, but the nausea and discomfort I felt from the neurological symptoms overtook the panic.

I would get it checked out because you need to have strategies to control or stop the attacks. Using deep breathing techniques and counted breathing techniques as well as grounding and focusing skills.

This may be a one off, but it's best to be prepared just in case it isn't.

Good luck
