Are these panic attacks?

I am assuming you are not pregnant. If not, please, go to a doctor and ask for a very mild medication that will ease your stress. You do seem to be having panic attacks about going into work. Calling in sick won't solve your problem, of course. Still, a mild medication may make it so you can go to work without all this stress attached to it. This is a whirl wind type of job, it sounds like, and it sounds as if you are on the go the entire time you are at work. It sounds as if you want to keep your job, here, so you must 'arm' yourself for it. Good Luck!

Certainly sounds like panic attacks.

Panic attacks are sudden, discrete periods of intense anxiety, fear and discomfort that are associated with a variety of somatic and cognitive symptoms[1]. The onset of these episodes is typically abrupt, and may have no obvious trigger. Although these episodes may appear random, they are considered to be a subset of an evolutionary response commonly referred to as fight or flight that occur out of context, flooding the body with hormones (particularly adrenalin) that aid in defending itself from harm. [2] Experiencing a panic attack is said to be one of the most frightening and uncomfortable experiences of a person's life. (Bourne 2005).

According to the American Psychological Association the symptoms of a panic attack commonly last approximately ten minutes. However, panic attacks can be as short as 1-5 minutes, while more severe panic attacks may form a cyclic series of episodes, lasting for an extended period, sometimes hours. Often those afflicted will experience significant anticipatory anxiety in between attacks and in situations where attacks have previously occurred.

Panic attacks also affect people differently. Experienced sufferers may be able to completely 'ride out' a panic attack with little to no obvious symptoms. Others, notably first time sufferers, may even call for emergency services; many who experience a panic attack for the first time fear they are having a heart attack or a nervous breakdown.

It does not sound like panic attacks. With panic attacks your heart beats fast, may sweat, hyperventilate, headache, and helplessness. It would be a good idea to have this checked because it could be gastronomy, therefore, check with your your primary care doctor as soon as possible.

i've had panic attacks and from experience i can tell you that you probably did NOT have one.

but i am not a doctor so i suggest you seek a physician's medical opinion.

doesnt sound like anxiety thats more like a nervous tummy from stress anxiety makes you feel like your out sides are going slow and insides are going a million miles an hr talk to the dr about it and there may be something to take for a nervous tummy

sounds like it. best thing is to go visit your md -explain what is going on- and he will prescribe you a mild anti-anxiety med.

good luck
