Answer 1

It sounds like panic attacks maybe? Or anxiety. You should explain what is happening to your parent(s), and go see a doctor. He can probably prescribe something to help you. (My older sister has something similiar)

Answer 2

You should really go to the doctor, if that is possible. Especially if this also effects you mentally. One of these days you should really go to the hospital, or have someone call an ambulance if it happens again. I don't know, I'm not a doctor, but I recommend that you have your blood checked because it might be blood sugar, or something... You should definitely talk to your doctor.

Answer 3

you need meds to control anxiety.

Answer 4

Sounds like you are suffering from Anxiety Attacks. I would talk to your doctor or school nurse about it. See what kind of advice they give you on what to do about it, because everyone handles it differently dont be discouraged if what they suggest doesnt work at first. Keep your hopes up hun. Best of luck -x0x-

Answer 5

You are experiencing a 'panic attack'. I have been having them since I was your age or younger, and its maddening. See a doctor! There are medications that will help.

Answer 6

Go and see a doctor.

Answer 7

Panic attacks, which sound as though they are developing into agoraphobia (fear of open places).  You should see your pediatrician or family doctor immediately, so that s/he can determine the right course of treatment.  And soon, before school starts.
