When I get an attack, I feel like I'm having a "hot flash" so to speak...I guess you could call it flushing...it comes up from my feet to my head. I find my breathing gets labored (not hard to breath...just heavy) and my whole body tingles to the point of almost being painful. I become almost completely irrational unless I'm with my husband. He seems to be the only one who can calm me. Luckily I do not suffer that kind of an attack often, my smaller ones are more where I have to avoid being around people...and it feels like the walls are coming in around me.

I am lucky though as I don't suffer from them all too often. I try hard to remember that they don't last long...and I try to concentrate on something other than the feelings I'm having. Usually they disepate fairly quickly.
