what happened to me??

Yesterday I was driving down the road and started to feel really shaky and then all of the sudden I remember pulling the car over because I could not focus and then my heart started to beat so hard I could see it pounding through my shirt.......then everything went blank for I have no Idea how long!! My 3 year old son was in the car with me and that was the only thing that came to mind and I started to become myself again, but still could not think of where I was or anything! I know my hands and legs were numb and shaky and I felt very weak.

I had somebody take me to my doc. cause I had no idea what had happened. He said that I had an anxiety attack! Is that what has happened to anybody else?

he prescribed me something called xanax (I think that is how it is spelled) and told me to take it asap if it happens again. Please let me know if this has ever happened to anybody else

yep.....more than a few times......one time i pulled over on the interstate and had to lay on my truck seat and cry for 20 minutes....

i take Klonopin now, so my attacks are few and far between

you did the right thing by pulling over....I try to close my eyes and
take really deep breaths and focus on something in your mind...a special person, special place, anything to take your mind off the
unknown

hope this helps

I have had many anxiety attacks while driving and had to pull over to ride them out, I know it is a horrible feeling.

Yes, anxiety/panic attacks are very scarey. On more than one occasion, I had to pull into a business and ask where I was. I found it helpful to just relax as you'll pulled over, it will pass!

Good luck
