I guess I would feel better to know there are others out there who are in the same boat as I. About four months ago (I cannot think of a reason why) I felt my heart pounding, I started breathing heavy, and sweating slightly. I then felt my legs tingling. I thought I was having a heart attack and was dying. I later learned it was probably a panic attack. I'm not convinced because I did have a really strong cup of coffee before hand, and perhaps it was a reacaction to the caffenne. At times I feel like I can't swallow. When I eat I feel as if I am going to choke, and now I avoid eating out in front of someone (it seems worse when someone is sitting across from me). I convince myself that I will choke, and it is very hard to swallow. Other times I feel like I have to swallow because of excess saliva or mucus in my throat, but even then its hard to swallow. And lastely I sometimes don't feel myself, like I'm depressed. I fear I'm going crazy, but then I don't. Any ideas?
