As of recent I have been suffering from what I think are panic attacks. They seem to fit the criteria for what panic attack is (increased breathing rate, faster heart beat, choking sensation, tons of anxiety, looking like I'm about to faint/that I'm sick) but they tend it last quite a long time. They can be anywhere from 5 minutes to the longest one which was nearly 3 hours of pretty constant symptoms which eventually landed me in the nurse.
I guess the first time I was aware of myself having panic attacks was this february when in class I was suffering extreme anxiety and the various other symptoms untill I eventually started sobbing and then collapsed right in the middle of class.
They are always triggered in social situations like in the class rom or when I need to approach someone.
With deep breathing I generally can keep them under control, but all the anxiety I feel is just hell.
