I don't really know what is wrong me. Last night i had a panic attack. I have had them on three occassions before in the last number of years. each time i was highly stressed and after a few drinks. but last nite i wasn't. I had drank just half a glass of wine earlier in the day before calling to my boyfriends house. I wasn't at all stressed but had been feeling very low that day. As we prepared to leave my boyfriends house, the thought of all the people in the crowded pub was too much to bear. I didn't feel good enough to mix with other people. I imagined they'd be staring at me and talking about me. I couldn't control my breathing. i was dizzy and couldn't keep my balance. i fell to my knees. i felt the rest of my body wanting to fall. i knew if i fell back i would hit my head. i grabbed onto the front door to keep me upright.I feel so stupid. I am normally very sociable. But admittly quiet self conscious. I dont understand why i feel so inadequate.I cant seem to pick myself back up

Sounds like you have anxiety. Usually there will be some triggers to set off an attack. Try to pay attention to your day & activites so when one comes you can pin point the cause. Are you insecure in your relationship with your boy friend? Some times that & a combination of other events can contribute to a panic attack. Especially if your around alot of other people, you may have convinced your self you "fine" in a setting with his friends or a room full of women. But you may have some feeling of inadiqucy or self asteem issues. Just be confident in who you are dont worry about what other people think or feel about you 9 times out of ten people who judge others have there own issues. Or they may not even be thinking anything at all.

Many people that experience anxiety disorders suffer from depression, and its the depression that is the underlying cause of the anxiety. Holidays seem to love depression. Feelings of people staring at you and self-consciousness are typically mood-related. Take a look at some info on depression and see if that might shed some light on the problem.

panic attacks are brought on by stress or fear or both,i figure that since you thought that everybody was looking at you this brought on the stress and fear factor that induced your panic attack also the fact that you were down contributed to this panic attack.see your doctor and if you feel down or if something is bothering you talk to someone about it,a total stranger sometimes is best.If you can talk about it that vents the feelings and no more attacks simple,if persists and don't help by all means see yer doc.

look panic attacks can occur anywhere..
i know..i suffer both agoraphobia and panic attacks...
go see the gp you might need to have medication to control it....
stressing causes attacks aswell..
i have attacks when there are to many ppl around...
when it happens again sit down and breath slowly in for 5 seconds then out again for 5 seconds keep doing it until you feel like you are in control again...

Did you see a doctor when you had panic attacks? you should see one. To me it seems like a serious health issue. Go for counseling for stess management.

I am sure the others in the bar thought you were drunk, and if they were drunk, they wouldn't be talking about you.
You need to see a doctor for them maybe some medication, and alcohol and meds. don't mix if you are prescribed something!
