Pat. asked:
The other day, I was feeling really down and depressed, and all of a sudden my heart started pounding and beating faster, I had a really hard time breathing, my head started throbbing, and I got light-headed and dizzy and had to sit down. This lasted for only a couple minutes, but I still felt kind of weird afterwords.
I described this to my friend and she said that I had an anxiety attack.

Anxiety is almost like a panic attack but less sever than a panic attack, its your body reactions to whatever is making you upset stressed, nervous, or fearful..alcohol can make it worse, also smoking gonja can make it worse too, if u trip out dont do drugs if you have anxiety L:O=
