This sort of thing *can* be caused by exposure to synthetic chemicals, especially cleaning products, pesticides, and even fragrances. Cigarette smoke is the worst one for me. Some of us don't break these things down quickly enough and they build up in the body, which can create all sorts of problems.
Nutrition can play a part as well.
Try searching under 'chemical injury' and see if it makes sense to you.

Looks like your mentally punishing yourself for what happened, and yes your counsellor is right you should probably be on antidepressants and having counselling. What you went through is tough mentally on any one, and your full of regret for what you did. I had an abortion when I was 17 and I was pressured into it by my then boyfriend who didn't want a baby. I regretted it the moment I did it and to top it off he left me after any way!. It took me 2 years to get over the whole thing and it has always stayed with me. I just learned to accept that what happened, happened and that I couldn't change anything. I went off the rails big time and I never thought I would come back from it. You will learn to accept it but it will take time. It is a long process and can take months. And medication won't work straight away, it will take a few months to alter the brain chemistry and do it's job. Even then it isn't a magic pill, it just gives you the motivation to sort things out, carry on with every day life and lift the fog so to speak. You will get through this but you need help, so keep talking to your counsellor and people close to you and don't be afraid to ask for help or advice. Over time things will start to feel better once you have starting dealing with all the emotions that you have from having the abortion.

About 1 year ago I had the same problem. I would feel my heart beating rapidly, have shortness of breath, and my whole body would get numb. I even called 911 because I thought my life was ending, but then one day I decided that it was only something silly, and it just went away. I was 18.....

I know of someone that had them because he went to Vietnam War and he and his wife went to a Psychiatrist. The Psychiatrist taught him how to calm himself down. Perhaps a Psychiatrist will help. In his case, the nerves were shot because of horrors from Vietnam War. He used to worry about every little thing. So try psychiartist and see if they can help find the problem.

a very close friend of mine first experienced it when she was 19years old...she's nearly 28 now and just last year she had panic attacks again. it's not because of a 'no reason' at all but 'something' must have triggered it. she's goes to counselling to find out why that happens.

Sure do, but when I took ativan it calmed me down right away but when it wore off I had worse re-bound attacks. I switched to Klonopin & it was much better. Also have your blood sugar checked to see if are hypoglycemic.

Yea, definitely.... One day, i was at my desk studying for my finals and suddenly i felt dizzy and a second later, i was on the floor. I was scared of everything. I couldn't figure out what though. I don't know but if you think of happy moments they tend to go away faster.

If you were abused in childhood, that can trigger panic attacks in adulthood.
