Re: Panic attack?

Hi, it's about the following thing :
Yesterday, I was walking around the house, when suddenly, without any
warning, I felt first 2 heartbeats in my back (below my neck) and straight
after that everything turned black in front of my eyes. I thought I would
faint, but I didn't. After that, I sat down, and I felt so bad, and I got
very warm, and I must admit that my mouth became very dry. After this I got
very tired.
Could it that my heart caused this (because of those 2 beats) or was it just a panic attack, which I have from time to time?
I do suffer from PVC's caused by no underlying heartdisease, so anxiety.

Been there, many times before. It sounds to me like an anxiety attack induced from the 2 pvcs. I have had panic attacks where I just start feeling dizzy,hot,increased heart rate (pounding in my chest),elevated blood pressure,and just the overall feeling that you are going to die. It's ugly!! So, depending on what the doc says about this one, anxiety can be treated if that's what caused your symptoms(sounds like it to me). Good Luck, Bran
