I have had 3 anxiety attacks in my life.They were the worst feeling ever and they were all in situations where i was very uncomfortable.My first was at 17 when i got my licence i broke down in a really bad crime area really late and was by myself.There were about 20 asian men around me and my car and were looking at me like they were gonna do something and some of them did even have weapons.I was so scared i started shaking and i could not breathe and was almost like i was suffocating i thought i was gonna die from lack of oxygen.Most women will have at least one panic/anxiety attack before they reach 30 and it is not so common in males.I had one after a bad operation as soon as they woke me i was scared and didnt know wher i was.I had one 7 days ago when i did a preg test also.But i have anxiety most days on a smaller scale.My hands shake and i do find it a bit hard to breathe but i am used to them now.
