It seems as if lately ive been experiencing mild symptoms of panic attacks. What I mean by mild is that I feel all the symptoms of panic attacks but it only last a few minutes. I don’t like the way I have been feeling lately it is starting to concern me. What if normal and what isn’t?Has anyone ever experienced these symptoms? If so have u got over ur attacks and how did u fix them. Thanks for ur answers…….
Josh thank you. De-realization (feelings of unreality) or depersonalization (being separated from oneself)
is something that I found difficult to explain to my husband. I would just call it "I feel as if im dreaming." My husband had no clue what I was talking about, and now he understands. Thanks for your feed back.

i have panic attacks all the time.
lol currently having several.
and when you say its mild because it only lasts a few minutes. that doesn’t really mean it’s
mild…panic attacks can vary from a few seconds to a few hours.
what’s not normal is an over whelming sense of panic and not able to calm down.
and if this happens more than once or twice a day.
you can try medicine to fix them.
or therepy

Do you drink diet soda? Aspartame can cause symptoms of panic attacks.
Do a search on "Aspartame Poisoning".
