Hi Daniellexxx, I am not a doctor, but it does sound like anxiety. I have had it off and on all my life and my daughter really suffers with it. The" heavy headedness" u describe is probably from breathing in and out so much/fast you started to hyperventilate. Breath in and out of a paper bag for a few minutes and it will help get your breathing balanced. My daughter is afraid she will pass out from not breathing correctly and I tell her thats probably the best thing that could happen as her body would take over and breath normal and balance her breathing out.Also my daughter's anxiety is ALWAYS worse when she goes to bed! Thats when she lays there and worries about everything. Lol. I kno its scary, but you dont die from anxiety. Hope this helps a little and dont forget about the paper bag.

Don't "assume" anything is anxiety, see your doctor regarding this and go from there.
