Before I start, I know some seizures don’t always make you fall to the ground and sometimes you might not even realli know its A seizure. So Thats exactly why im asking this question.
Almost once every day, Out of no where I get really nervous and my hands start to tingle (Pins and needles) and my mouth gets very dry. I shake and my hands get ICE cold. When this happens I can’t sit still and I keep shaking my hands to try to get that numbness feeling away. Sometimes my heart races and sometimes it dosn’t. Now though, I don’t think it is anxiety because im calm when it happens and my heart really dont pound as long as I stay calm. I also feel confused and detached when these ‘Attacks’ happen.
I heard these are some symptoms of A seizure and also A Panic Attack. How do you really know the difference?
Im scared that im going to die from A seizure or something even worse.
I also notice, these attacks happen 10x Worse the day after I drink alcohol. So I dont drink at all anymore
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME. I FEEL ALONE, SCARED AND STRESSED OUT.

since beginning of this year i have been told im having panick attacks, with all diff symptoms (pins and needles, shortness of breath, extreme fear, blushing, sweating) now i have lately started with vertigo, has anyone else found a link between the 2 diff things? iv been to see my gp who did some blood tests and everything was clear so they dont seem worried about the vertigo but i have read it can be a sign of a brain tumour????? or is that just me panicking…….again haha

when i have a panic attack this is what happens, always in this specific order:
well first, it always seems to happen when i am driving, i guess i feel like i have the least amount of control due to the people around me, especially when there is a lot of traffic i guess…
1. i get this throbbing, tight feeling above my knees
2. my legs will get a pins and needles sensation, plus foot cramps
3. after that, my hands tingle, then kind of go numb and lock into a fist, and this is all very difficult to deal with be cause i have a stick-shift car and it’s a scary sensation
4. the derealization sets in. (basically when you are detached from your own mind and it feels like you are watching a movie of what is going on around you). it is a very odd feeling, hard to explain… kind of feels like you are going nuts
5. i will feel like i am not getting enough air. i can breathe but i need to keep taking deep full inhales and exhales
6. i can’t tell if my heart is beating fast but it feels like someone is pressing on my chest and throat
7. my facial muscles seem to quiver or twich slightly, which is really freaky
8. the worst part is the slurred speech, the first time i ever experienced this i thought i was having a stroke
the best thing i can do is pull over and chug water until i calm down, which sometimes takes a while
note: i am only 22 years old, i take 10mgs of adderall twice a day for my adhd, this panic attack all seems to happen after a night of hardly any sleep, it’s really only when i’m alone, and it always is when i’m driving my car. i think it is brought about by feeling like i am losing control of the situation and feeling uncomfortable with my surroundings, but i couldn’t pin-point it exactly
does anyone ever have things like this happen? what should i do?? it’s been so intense a few times i almost drove to the ER

I have panic attacks wheni im in crowds or sitting in a hall full of people. I feel trapped and like im going to throw up. I get pins and needles in my finger tips and toes and its just a horrible thing to happen. The problem is i cant avoid these situations as i have meetings and assemblies to go to most days of the week. I have to sit at the front – where there is no exit on that side of the room. I feel like its controlling my life!
Please help!

Have been diagnosed with panic attacks and anxiety. Am on Valium (short term) and Prozac.
Many of the symptoms are better ie. cold sweats, palpitations, being unable to go into shops etc. Have had physical conditions ruled out,
But, when I wake up I seem to have had horrible dreams night before and wake to pins and needles in my arms. Any ideas help would be appreciated,
Thank you!
