October 13th it all started. I was walking with my friend to her classroom. We went up the elevator. Then Six minutes after. I got Dizzy (not everything around me spinning kind of dizzy). It was like i was about to faint or fall; more like lightheaded. VERY Lightheaded. I fell on the ground. It felt as if i was floating. Then my heart started hurting. My friend Immediately took me to our school health center. It started getting really cold, i was freezing i was shaking really bad. My heart beat was racing, my plus was really high. Suddenly it got really hot. My face was burning, it felt like it was on fire! At the same time i was cold, chills. Shaking. I felt very nauseous. I was shaking sooo much! They doctor called 911 immediately. I vomited by the time they arrived. Then i felt so much better after. They told me it was a panic attack. I knew that Panic attacks are not dangerous. But that fear of having another one caused me to get panic attacks 2-3 times a day for two weeks. After that Panic attacks stopped coming along. I felt nauseous all the time. For one week everything seemed perfect. I know i was not suffering from anxiety. My life is perfect. Then I started feeling lightheaded again. Every time i stood up i felt very lightheaded, like i was going to faint. Fatigue was horrible. My legs were the weakest! Every time i get lightheaded my legs get very weak! I went to the doctor. He said it might be an ear infection; it wasn't. I did an MRI, everything completely fine. An Echocardiogram, nothing. I was ferrous. I knew it was not anxiety! Then i started getting headaches that would last hours and hours. Until Today i am still with those symptoms. Headaches, Constantly lightheaded, weakness in both legs, fatigue. Then i had the fever it was 104. I also have swollen throat now. But if it was the flu then it would get worse. but it is constant at the same level. I only had the fever once, and it went down with in 30 seconds to 98. The soar throat comes and goes. My hands and toes are usually cold, and my face is always burning. My blood pressure is fine, the level of glucose is fine. A bit anemic but it is not half bad; It is almost normal. My heart and brain are fine. Then why on earth do i experience those symptoms for?
I am an 18 years old female.

I am not sure if this is the right form.

So sorry for the problems you are having. And this is the right forum.  I am not a doctor, but have had panic attacks off and on since I was 40.  They are awful.  I take Klonopin to keep me safe driving...mine often hit while in heavy traffic.
After years of meds and therapy, I just learned to live with what docs now call social anxiety or agoraphobia with panic.
Talking with a therapist can be very helpful.  Can't afford to see one now I'm on Medicare, but as I've just survived anal cancer can see social worker @ MD Anderson...and she is great.
You can vent...or ask for help with specific issues.  Look @ us a support group of your peers.

Hello & Welcome.
This sounds like the right forum for you. I was 19 when I had my 1st panic attack & I know how scary that 1st episode is.  Since you have been fully checked out medically and informed you had a panic attack now you need to get help dealing with these. The fear of having another panic attack can lead to more attacks, its a viscious and can be crippling cycle for some. I suggest you see a counselor for some talk therapy. In the meantime read up on anxiety & panic coping skills.
I have been a member of this site for a few months and have found it very helpful, informative & supportive, Keep checking in.
Best of luck to you!
