Does anyone get these symptoms during a panic attack?
So while experience most(but not all) of the symptoms listed in the DSM-5, I also frequently have symptoms(weird ones) that are not on that list.
-A weird sense of agitation, with a kind of light feeling in my head, and like a sort of pressure underneath my eyeballs(really weird). I feel like a whirlwind or storm in my head, or like some kind of soundless static(not the same as dizzyness). Its like I am suddenly hyperaware of how fast my eye and head movements are, like everything is going to fast, with an acute sense of desorientation. The only time I felt something similar or worse was when I was a child with a very high fever and I became delirious.
-Talking about fever: a feeling of being sick and having a fever, without having a fever(I checked)
-A sense of being injected with acute impending depression and hopelessness and dread. Feels a bit like how Harry Potter books describe a Dementor entering a room, with that unnatural clammy chill, like all positive experiences are gone or warped. Really feels like you are dragged into hell, only hell is an icey endless dark void, like an eternal dark lake.
-Enormous sense of alarm. Like when you have food poisoning and have to puke, but without actually puking. This enormous sense of urgency.
-The feeling I have to mentally brace against my panic attack
Intense tingling or what I like to call "nerve fire" in my stomach. I bit like what you feel when you lie on your arm too long, but in my stomach
-Feeling my heart pounding in my stomach, even when my pulse is normal. Its like I'm more sensitive to my internal bodily functions.
This stuff is so weird. I developed these waves of such "attacks" all day everyday during a sever gastritis. Even now, months after my gastritis is healed(checked with gastroscopy+biopsies, completely clear no h. pylori nothing) I still have like 10 or 20 small waves each day of a handful of these weird ass symptoms. Its mentally draining. Luckily its not nearly as bad as during the few first months. Got checked by the gastroenterologist and a very helpful neurologist. After all these tests the neurologist concluded this really seemed like a severe panic disorder.
