First comes anxiety, then comes avoidance anxiety,Your bridge incidence sounds like you are working up towards avoidance anxiety. What ever you do, DO NOT AVOID places where you have experinced this. Work your way thru them and it will get better. Realize that is just a bodily responds to danger, and it will go away, it did for me anyway. You've got to show the anxiety who's boss! Good luck and God bless aheart
definitely anxiety. i get that doing over bridges too. sometimes just having a bunch of things building up in your mind, without you even realizing all thats in your head, can cause anxiety attacks. Im only 17 and i know what your going through. It helps to stay focused on the road, and take deep breaths even though it feels like you cant.Its easier said then done, but the extra oxygen calms you down quicker, making the symtoms subside quicker. Sometimes just talking to other people about having anxiety, or trying to laugh it off helps. Another way is to recognize that the symptoms are anxiety, and not get freaked out by them. The more you think about the symptoms, the worse you get. That helped me, i hope it will do the same for you. I hope everything turns out well! keep us posted!
have u been to the doctor yet, i am not saying somethings wrong, because most likley its just anxiety and there are medications that can help u. good luck :-)

Sounds like a panic attack. The body / mind senses danger and blood rushes to parts of the body where it is needed most. Thus causing the symptoms you described. Stresses can trigger panic off. You might need some light medication / theraphy. Theraphy alone might do the trick for you. But getting help early is important. The longer we let it set in the more it takes control. A visit to your doctor would be a great next step. Well done for writing about it. That was step 1.
