As a warning, this is a description of my rather disturbing symptom and episodes of panic attacks.

Fortunately I have panic attacks only about once a year. However when I have them, my mental capacity to make any logical judgement goes bye-bye. Every time I have a panic attack it starts with disorientation which eventually becomes severe. The panic occurs after disorientation, and because of this,  I am completely unaware that I am having a panic attack during the entire episode. It includes paranoia and often a flight response.

The 3rd to last time I had a panic attack I was in class at university. I had just finished a test when the confusion and flight response kicked in. I left the classroom, and headed to my car in 30F weather, without my coat on. By the time I got to the car, the panic attack quickly subsided and I realized that I just had a panic attack. I remember the whole thing. Part of the time could not figure out where to go. It lasted about 30 minutes.

The 2nd to last time I was at my brothers' bachelor party in a campground. We camped out for 2 nights. On the last morning, a panic attack kicked in. I hopped in my car and left without saying bye to anyone. Fortunately my ability to drive is like walking, and it was fine at the time. Also fortunate that I was headed home. The confusion started subsiding and I realized I was having a panic attack. I pulled over and called my mom and she suggested I take hydroxyzine. After that I quickly started to calm down. When I was chill I continued home. Again, it lasted about 30 minutes.

The last episode was at home, nothing much happened. 

Ginseng might be the culprit for me. However caffeine isn't one of them. No more energy drinks.

Long graphic stories, I know. 

I'm fine now, no worries.

Anyone else get these kind of panic attacks? I couldn't even find anything similar with a google search.

Thanks for reading.
