How do you know when its just your anxiety and not something more serious? I went to the ER twice in a matter of 5 days in September when I thought I was having a heart attack/stroke. It was on the 2nd visit that they gave me Ativan and told me that it was all in my head. I got a doctor and was put on medication in November. After a few tweaks over the past month I seem to be on a good track. I am able to calm my fears before they become full blown and when that happens it is like only twice a month.

This morning was different. I got up a 5 to take my medication and all of a sudden I couldn't walk. I felt dizzy and a heaviness over my body. I immediately went into the breathing and mind distraction. Paced around my kitchen for about 35 minutes and was able to go back to sleep for another hour. What could of triggered it? I was sleeping for goodness sakes. 

I feel back to my normal (as I can be) self now except just a little tired. I just don't understand how or what triggers the attack. This is still new to me and I am just trying to live a happy normal life.

Thanks
