Panic disorder or what?!


Question: Panic disorder or what!?
I have been having a rough time during my sophomore year of school thus far!. I have been homesick and generally unhappy!.

On Tuesday night or Wednesday night, I experienced a little pain in my right temple when I ran!. The pain increased a little whenever I moved my jaw!. However, once I wore my retainer again for two days, the pain seemed to almost completely subside!. However, last night, after getting some food with my friends, I experienced a heaviness of breath, feeling heated, and feeling like I had the fever!. This was around 7pm, Eastern Standard Time!. The same thing happened tonight and it sort of felt like my mouth and right cheek were a little numb, although I cannot be sure!. I also felt very heated and a little light headed and detached!.

I have a serious of bad depression and have been worrying myself into a panic over the last few days regarding my former head pain!. Is it possible that I have adult panic disorder or what!?

I also used to drink literally ten sodas idea and have only been drinking two or three small cans a day for the last three days!. Could this have caused me to get caffeine withdrawal!? I felt better after I had a small soda!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
