For about three years now (I’m 16) I’ve been getting these weird intense horrible physical/mental feelings that occur at random and last for about 10 minutes. I’m not sure exactly but I think it could be a panic/anxiety attack. My mum said she used to get them too but she never really understands me and i asked to see a doctor and she said no. So I thought I’d go to the school nurse about it and she didn’t really tell me anything either. I’ve explained to my friend the feelings before and she was just like no you cant call it a panic attack blah blah blah… anyway I thought i’d ask people online for any tips or answers, so here’s what happens:
- They occur completely at random (or at least I haven’t seen any pattern yet).
last for 10 minutes. - First I start to get a nervous feeling in my chest like I’m scared something is about to happen when I know nothing is.
- Then I start to feel it in my stomach and get bad stomach aches
- Then I get cold sweats and hyperventilate and I have to lay down by this point I cant concentrate or speak I just start to rock back and forth
- Then if it gets to the most intense point I have to run to the toilet and get diarrhoea
- After that it calms down and I feel fine again but sometimes it does come back 5 minutes after
It sounds really pathetic on here but it feels really intense in real I just cant get it across well. I just don’t really know what to do because I just want it to stop but don’t know how. I was just wondering if any of you could help or give me advice?

Hello Juju. I’ve never experienced that before but it does seem like a momentary anxiety/panic attack type of problem. Beta Blockers might alleviate these symptoms.
