Hey everyone,
I haven't really talked about this with anyone because I've always downplayed it and it tends to go away and rarely happens in the first place. I experience these sudden very aggressive bursts of panic at random times but especially when I try to fall asleep. It's usually only once and it's no longer than a second. But this feeling is so intense it has me gasping and sucking in a huge breath of air while I grasp my chest in fear, it's like both my head and my heart are going to explode at the same time. Needless to say this is always very frightening but nothing ever happens afterwards. I do feel like it gets triggered by feeling something in my head, like a pain or a random little sting. I suppose I was just wondering if there are people here that experienced something similar and if this is a symptom of anxiety.
