I just suddenly (literally from one second to the next) felt nausea rise in me and then felt really faint and had blackout spots in front of my eyes. Then I started to panic to my breathing became heavy, my heart started pounding, I started to get pins and needles in my fingers and my face. All this within about 20 seconds while I was sitting at my desk in the office. Then I stood up to walk to the sick room, and my legs just felt so weak like they wouldn't support my weight, luckily I had the presence of mind to ask a colleague to support me, so I wouldn't fall. It took me about an hour to completely calm down and recover. Later someone mentioned that it I must have suffered a panic attack. I was actually going through a very difficult time, and often I felt like there was no way out. That particular morning my thought weren't too gloomy, but the deep down my inner turmoil still affected me in that physical way. And being scared about what was happening made the condition even worse !!! I have experienced panic attack before, but at the time I didn’t know what was happening.
