This could just be a phase. A lot of people get them and they just "go away" after a while like a bad phase. it could happen once, twice, maybe 3 or 4 time over a while....then they just go away and no more trouble.
But some people have them and keep getting them over and over and over. Of course, they don't want this, but it keeps happening...worse and stranger over the years. Very scary! This is called PD (panic disorder).
Either of these affects both sexes and many ages.

There is a chance that you will feel fine again and have no troubles like this again. I hope so!

Hello there, sorry to hear about your experiance. I have had the exact same thing happen to me and I understand how awfull it is, nearly everyone sufferes from a panic attack at some point in there lives.

If you are stressed it can make you more susceptible to them, there is alot of resources on the interenet explaining what panic attacks are. I would read about them so you have a better understanding of them, but try not to think to much about it. Self monitoring can lead you to more panic attacks and a vicious circle.
