I was sitting in class when my pulse suddenly started to accelerate and i got light headed my nose started to run I became extremely uncomfortable and I wasnt able to sit still. My hands are quaky and I feel like I just got punched in the stomach. What could this mean?
Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! Your symptoms seem to be caused by a panic attack. I would like to know your age. Have you experienced other similar episodes before? I recommend consulting with the GP for a careful check-up (physical examination, a resting ECG, a routine blood test, blood pressure monitoring, thyroid hormone levels, blood electrolytes, blood sugar, kidney and liver function tests). If all the above-mentioned tests result normal, the most probable cause would be a panic attack. Hope to have been helpful! Greetings!
