I have had generalized anxiety for years now, but I think I'm developing panic attacks... I was at walmart today and I suddenly had to get out. My heart was racing and I felt really anxious and on the verge of tears... it happened last week at home, and I attributed it to some ptsd symptoms... but walmart triggered none of any that I could recognize. this is really new and scary.

what brings on sudden panic attacks when you have no history of them?

It's triggering other stuff tho, and it's not going away so well, even with anxiety meds... wtf?! I see my t tomorrow and can talk to him about this, but I was hoping to get some more immediate ideas and perspective on what in the world might be bringing this on... and maybe how to get through it? thanks...
