Panic Attac

[iamfaithful]

I haven't been on this forum in a long time; kind of thought I was done; however, early this morning I had my second panic attack!  My first was back in 2007 and I surely thought I was dying. Long story short; yesterday I noticed the vein in my ring finger was bulging and very tender to the touch, of course I became very nervous, looked it up on the internet, asked daughter who is an R.N......didn't seem to be of much concern, but in the back of my mind I was nervous.  I am thinking stroke, blood clot......needless to say I wake up at 5:00 a.m. because I felt like my right arm was hurting/numb and then I started to feel faint, my heart started beating super fast and I was felling nauseous.  I woke up my husband in a panic and almost told him to call 911-I thought I was dying.  I started to calm down a bit and it went away, 20 minutes later I could tell the feeling was coming back.  I had to MAKE myself stay calm and realize that I was most likely experiencing another panic attack.  Folks, I thought I was done with all of this.  I suffered very badly back in 2007-2009 with horrible anxiety but for the past few years I have been able to keep it under control pretty much.  I am posting this because I feel like I am about to go down the rabbit hole again and just need some advice :-).  I haven't been on medication for years but am seriously considering getting some anti-anxiety meds ASAP.
