Are these panic or anxiety attacks -- are they even one of those?

Question

When I'm in an uncomfortable situation, my heart starts racing, and I get really hot all over. I hear buzzing and i can't see right, everything looks scattered and I can't think clearly. Sometimes I feel like I will throw up.

Answer 1

Yes, you are having anxiety attacks or panic attacks or whatever you want to call it, they are the same thing.   You need to try some relaxation exercises. Try breathing in a paper bag, slow deep breaths.  Talk to your Dr. about it, they have medications like anti-anxiety meds that you can take daily to help prevent attacks and meds like Ativan and Xanax that are fast-acting, that will help if an attack has already started.  You could also consider therapy, or talking to someone about the situations that cause this.

Answer 2

Yes, you've described an anxiety attack.

You'll want to pay attention to when and where they happen and learn a relaxation response that works for you in those situations.  Sometimes doing something simple like slow, deep breathing will help.
