Anxiety Attack?
I have pretty bad social anxiety and moderate general anxiety along with a bit of depression. While it's not under control, it's pretty manageable. I was at a friend's house the other night, and I was just sitting on her floor waiting for her to get out of the shower. While doing that, my mind was wondering, but I wasn't thinking about anything upsetting. Suddenly I couldn't breathe and my heart started racing and my palms got really sweating. It felt like I was going to die, I couldn't even move or yell out for help. Scared me half to death. But after 5 minutes it went away and nothing happened the rest of the night. What was that? Was it a panic attack? i've never had one, I've had anxiety attacks where I can't breathe, but that's because something is giving me anxiety, whereas this time I was just hanging out.

It sounds like a panic attack, i'm sorry you have to suffer through this anxiety and depression. it's good you're still staying strong though :) something that helped me through panic and anxiety attacks was talking to someone, be it my mom or a friend and most of all what helped was just a one time session with a therapist. you have no idea how much a doctor and therapist can help especially in terms of giving you ways to cope. they can also tell you if what you had was a panic attack though I'm pretty sure it was. stay strong xxx

That happens to me so much except I can talk (kinda) I'm not sure what it is either. Maybe it's a form of anxiety attack. Ask a professional (: hopefully it doesn't happen again!

Sounds like an anxiety/panic attack.
Anxiety can cause and aggravate a lot of health problems.
Anxiety often comes and goes.
Anxiety is a state of fear of real or imagined danger, which is manifested as increased heart rate, trembling, panic, weakness, extreme fatigue and stomach or intestinal discomfort.
Anxiety, depression, nervousness, worry or stress can cause over 100 symptoms or health problems as in a web search for "over 100 anxiety symptoms".
Prescription medication for anxiety, stress, nervousness, depression and worry can give you bad side effects so natural remedies are often much better.
