For the last week or so I’ve been having these strange waves of panic. The first thing I notice is that my body/mind feel sort of numb, then it’s like I’m running out of air (feels like I forgot to breathe), and then lightheadedness comes on, accompanied by a general sense of worry. I can pretty much snap myself out of it immediately by breathing and focusing on physical senses. 

Heart doesn’t race so much. I’ve had panic attacks before where my hearts been racing, so I assumed these waves weren’t anxiety related. The shock of the whole thing can make my heart race a little, but it’s happened to me at least 10 times in the past few days so I’ve overcome the post-panic. 

Could this be anxiety? It’s almost entirely physical, only with the short-lives terror feeling when the wave hits. 
All feedback is greatly appreciated.
