A member asked:

I suffer from panic attacks but havent had one for agers, all of a sudden i got a head rush and couldnt breath is this anxiety??

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Anxiety: It sound like you are having anxiety which leads to a panic attack. Try to manage your stress and take slow deep breaths when you are starting to feel anxious. F/U with your psychologist or psychiatrist to help you manage your symptoms. Good luck
