Oh sorry I misunderstood. Don't get me wrong, a panic attack can definitely feel like you're fainting, one of the biggest fears is passing out/fainting with no control, it just won't happen like that, its mainly the fear of that.
I might have had that though. But i don't understand why i feel the worst in the evening. Every evening since 3 days ago, i've been feeling … scared.. i guess, i've been having this weird sensation in my chest, and i've been having a heat sensation. Sometimes if i get too scared thinking about it or something, i can get dizzy and i feel something coming out of my chest. Other then that, i just feel like i'm anxious all day long.
Sounds like a textbook anxiety disorder to me but I don't know whether you're having panic attacks or not? You should get some help
In my opinion, doctors are terrible because they're not trained in mental health, so a counsellor is a much better option. But whatever suits I guess 
As for the evening I guess it depends on the person. I tend to feel worse in the morning.
I went to a doctor and he said i need to take it easy, i'm tired. But I guess it has something to do with anxiety since i'm feeling like that…
yea in the back of my neck i get the hot tingles and back of my hands.
i just feel weird, throat drys up and tightens, nose blocks, i figit and think crazy stuff when trying to sleep and butterflys in stomach so bad that im sick. normally after ive smoked weed too, i got my first one when i got stoned, and it was after 8yrs of smoking so it wasn't like it was my first time, anyone else get them like me? thing is though mine dont just go, they last for over 10hrs sometimes
and only go once your soooo tired you cant keep eyes open and fall asleep and thats only possible if watching t.v. i wish cud get rid of them cause they affect my life cause i worry about them happeneing after ive drank, i only get them after drinking heavy or weed or coke and thats the next day. so ive quit the weed and coke but the drinks hard cause alot of the times i dont get them off drink.
i agree with only way to make them better is to distract i normally just have to get home and watch t.v
yea i know wat u mean i feel da same things—-my head goes hot n cold head aches–sumthing feels like blood running in my head first time i had it but den they got worse..i learned how 2 controol dem tho but i stll fear dem but stay strong and know ur not alone u can fight dis nd rememberIT CANT KILL U—-so take care
Anyone have inner ear problems? Here's a suggestion: Get the book "Phobia Free" by Harold N. Levinson. get it used on amazon or from the library for I have no financial interest in Levinson's work, just an emotional one. The book saved my life. Panic free for 16 years from a simple inner-ear medication called meclizine. Get your inner-ears checked, thoroughly. Write me, I'll send links to 13 medical studies on pub-med showing link between panic/agor and inner ear problems. Correlation:60-90%.
My first attacks were after smoking weed. Same trigger for both of us. Same trigger, same underlying cause? Get your ears checked by an ENT. Inner ear problems were the cause of my attacks. See my other comment.
i focus on the panic itself, if you try and act normal you run out of enegy in about 2 minutes, then i lose vision and cant hear anything,
if i focus on being in panic instead of hiding it, it goes away quite quickly
also never smoke weed
Just saying I so can relate and I now have been Disabled from this issue and others as well. Well take care
Me too focus on the panic and it helps
Panic attacks can one the worst mental illnesss ! Hyponosis can Help ive heard.
Social anxiety is just FEAR overpowering a person.
I could tell you all that I am not free from any social anxieties, depression and self pitty.
You wanna know why im free?
God Saved me…
You also have to believe that you have A WORTH and what other people have you also have and what others feel you feel too…
Dont believe in your heart!
Look around and youll see that people are the same! their just like you! the only difference is that your FEAR WORSEN TOO MUCH..
Find God!

I feel so much better for watching this video, i thought i was on my own with this.i have panic attacts, social phobia and agoraphobia. i do go out most days but i find it very hard. i don't take any medication at all anymore.i used to take antidepressants for 6 years but they made things worse including my health!. i to have owned many motorbikes my fav being the suzuki gsxr750 but i had to give it up because the panic was so bad.
Thankyou so much for making this video.
I find the panic worse in dim light conditions, does anybody else have this ?
the worse time is evenings. my vision goes blurry in dim light and on comes the panic attacts!
I have had panic attacks for years, the light thing you talk of is normal, it acts as a trigger for an attack, because people who suffer panic attacks are extremly sensitive to uncontroled changes around them, we are literaly on a different wave length to normal people, I used to get panic attacks just going into different coloured rooms. take care.
thanks for that..at least i know there are other people who get the same thing..i got to the point of not going out when its dim outside because the panicky feelings are so much worse.
