Hey all, I have just started experiencing true anxiety and panic this past week. Im not sure what brought it on, but im trying to figure out how to deal with it and get rid of it. It started this past weekend and I actually went to the ER because I was sure I was dying.. I felt weak, hot, dizzy, my heart was pounding, feelings of doom and like i was dying, and was super nauseous for 2 days and couldnt eat. Those feelings kept coming back worse and worse for those 2 days and that is when I eventually went to the ER.
its been 4 days since, and i have periods where i feel like im back to normal and so relieved, but its temporary and it seems everyday when I wake up its back almost as soon as I open my eyes. The other morning i didnt even open my eyes I just rolled over and was filled with panic.
ive been trying a lot of meditation and went to a buddhist sangha yesterday and have been reading about buddhism..the meditation helps but it just keepts coming back. i am terrified that im stuck like this permanently and that this will be an everyday thing now. have any of you overcome your anxiety? any advice?

also just wanted to give praise to the people that have been dealing with anxiety for their entire lives or really any amount of time because this is fucking awful. i truly hope anyone going through this is able to get passed it
