Am I having panic attacks?!


Question:

Am I having panic attacks?

Okay, when people touch my neck (ANYBODY no matter how well I know them) I freeze, i feel as if i can't move, my eyes water up, my heart rate increases, my heart will pump so hard i feel like it's going yo come out of my chest, my hands begin to shakes violently, I start sweating, my knees get weak, and the most scary part is that I feel like I can't breathe, my breathing become really shallow, I begin to gasp for air, and I still feel like I can't breathe. This sensation continues even a couple of minutes after someone has touched my neck. I'm 15, and I noticed this started happening when I was 10,I'm not sure but I think that the reason is that my twin brother and I used to fight a lot and he would grab my neck and push me against the floor or wall and hold me there, i couldn't breathe and I would sometimes turn blue. This happened a lot. And i think this is the end result. Is this a phobia or a panic attack or what? it interferes with my life becuz it seems ppl like my neck Wat 2do?


Answers:

It sure sounds like a panic attack. I have them and it sounds identical to my symptoms. However, mine are triggered by different things than yours. The best advice I can give you is seek professional help if it becomes more serious and happens more often. Mine started about 10 years ago and unfortunatley they have gotten worse. I hope this is not your case but if they do seem more frequent get some help and trust me if they get bad enough you will.
