It’s official, I’ve had 2 panic attacks in the span of 10 days. I am now panicking over my sudden onset of panic. Awesome.
I’ve been experiencing some chest pain on the left side for a few weeks. During the last two days, I’ve been noticing a fluttering in my left groin area near my femoral artery. I had chalked it up to muscle spams and just kind of ignored it, but this morning while on the train going to work, I decided to google it and see what it could be. Big mistake.
I see nothing but hits stating that this could be a warning sign of an impending aneurysm. That’s all I needed to read for full on hypochondria to kick in causing me to have an epic meltdown in the middle of rush hour. I got dizzy, my vision went black, my heart started to race, I broke out into a cold sweat, and my chest hurt. It took me over an hour to calm myself down, and was only able to do that by forcing myself to think about “happy thoughts” of moments I shared recently with someone very important to me.
I’m sure my epic paranoia and hypochondria combined with the fact that I’ve been under an extreme amount of emotional stress as of late, are aiding to my sudden onset of panic attacks.
I need to chill out and remain calm and stay off of Google!
Whew!
