Hey everyone, today I tried to drive for the first time in about a week, since I had tried to go on Lexapro and then come off it. I had a panic attack on the road, and ended up pulling over to the shoulder where I proceeded to have the worst panic attack I’ve ever had. My heart was beating so fast that my hands and legs were tingling, and eventually I even began to feel the tingling in my stomach. Has anybody here experienced that? I called 9/11 and they helped calm me down and I decided not to go to a hospital since I’ve been there 3 times in the past month and my grandpa who is a doctor told me it’s just anxiety. But is that normal? The symptoms did go away as I calmed down. And I got myself a KardiaMobile recently and have taken EKGs since I’ve calmed down and they say normal sinus rhythm. But my pulse is kind of fluctuating between fast and slow, and it’s not really aligned with me inhaling/exhaling. I’m really scared the panic attack could’ve permanently damaged my heart, I have no idea how fast my heart was going, but it was certainly 160 bpm+. Does your body make you pass out before it gets to a dangerous speed? Sorry this post is rambly, I’m just looking for some reassurance. I really don’t want to go to the ER again but I also can’t stop worrying about my heart.
