hi I've been having panic attacks for almost 20 yrs now and I've slowly become more and more aware of what happens to my body, with mindfulness, probably. 

I keep noticing during the "impending doom/dread" pre-panic feeling is a hot, acid reflux-like sensation in my head, in the center maybe. you know when you turn your head too fast? is that called whiplash? sort of like that but out of no where. it definitely makes me cringe and usually my body responds with adrenaline. it's very uncomfortable and I can see why I could think I'm dying or going crazy because it's like my brain is melting. 

anyways I'm curious if this is common with panic or maybe there's something else going on. thanks!
