I had a dizzy spell that lasted for 25 minutes. It felt like I was on a rollercoaster and you couldnt get off.  I would describe it as almost vertigo.  My doctor said I had a panic attack.  Has anyone else had an episode like this?

Heh. I infact had an episode exactly like yours on one ocassion. It lasted for about an hour. As I recall this particular incident is what initially caused me to fear panic. Breathing in the right mannerisms are what helps this symptom. It's frighteningI know, but you WILL overcome it. Good luck to you.

Hi

dizziness is one of the biggest sensations you get with panic. You've probably tried it already but breathing in and out into a paper bag might help a bit. Otherwise its just one more thing you have to accept and float through until its over. Feels awful.

  I can relate but it is usually a sign of one coming on for me. They have not been so bad lately.  I woke this AM to my bed spinning and last night it felt like I was going to faint my head was whirling so much.  But no full blown "I am dying" attack came.

  The paper bag does help, as when this is going on you really don't know you are hypervenlating causing it.  Good luck and feel better.

May I one day break these chains.
