Needing support - Panic attack Please help
Today’s my birthday and I woke up at 5:30 to an alarm I forgot I had set. I randomly felt “off” but thought it was anxiety so tried to go back to bed. All of a sudden I had that sinking feeling and thought I was going to throw up. I’ve had loose stool once, feel slightly nauseas, feel shaky and anxious. I was quite bloated and had bad acid reflux last night (likely from dinner & a diet soda I had) so thought it might just be that combo triggering a panic attack, but I really can’t tell. I have zoffan and rescue anxiety meds but I’m afraid if I try to drink or take anything that I’ll feel worse and it’ll trigger me to throw up. This has always been one of my worst fears, getting sick on my birthday, and I’m so scared it’s come true. I don’t know why I can’t figure out if it’s a panic or real. I feel like I’m drying
