I suffer panic attacks and had one yesterday evening which resulted in some hyperventilation and racing heart rate. Whilst I managed to get my heart rate down and I think my breathing is normal Ive had a tickly sensation in my chest (occasionally in my abdomen too). My other symptoms of panic seemed to subside but this is still bothering me 24 hours later, any idea what it could be?
Hi, You have mentioned that you have episodes of panic. I would also like to know how frequently and since when are you having them. Are you on any medications and so you have any other symptoms like fear of being alone/ crowds/ closed spaces? Generally a person with panic disorder remains preoccupied with further attacks and some anxiety persists even in between attacks. You're having those sensations might be manifestation of those. I would suggest you consult a psychiatrist and start treatment. Medications like paroxetine, sertraline, etc. will help you. Relaxation exercises will also help in your condition. Best wishes.
