Sorry if I'm in the wrong topic. I am not sure what it is so I chose the one that seemed closest; panic attack.
I have no diagnosis of any mental or physical illness. 30 y/o female.
This happens about once a year or less.
Symptoms are: cold sweat, cold limbs, pale face/blue lips, nausea, dizzyness, sudden blood pressure drop, blacking out, sometimes diarrhea afterward.
Trigger situations: 1. when I fell, landed on my hand and my fingernails bent, 2. saw the needle right before the dentist put it in my mouth, 3. popped my own cyst on my face and dabbed the excretion out.
Everything on the symptoms list except "sense of fear" applies. When it happens I'm thinking "Oh, my blood pressure's dropping rapidly. Better lie down before I hit my head or something." I'm calm and aware. No fear or panic. I am calm when I see the trigger scenes also.
Anyone know if this is a panic attack or something else?
