Along with my Bi-Polar I too have panic attacks. I have only just started having panic attacks within the last few months. When I went into the emergency room, the strangest sensation I was having was the buzzing in my head and tingling. The ER doctor was great and was adamant this had nothing, nothing to do with Bi-polar. Usually I would have gotten lumped under a title, but he did not do that and explained the tingling as part of the attack. I still get that strange tingling on my face and head, down my arms, and an itchy type of tingling down my right leg only. You are not alone. As far as you getting through the day like you did, all I have to say is I have never met stronger people in my life than those who have either depression or bi-polar, or panic attacks, whatever. We have to experience the horrors of an illness and still function with a smile because people count on us, especially in your job. You are incredibly strong!
