Is This Anxiety/panic Attacks?

so i thought i was dehydrated and went to the hospital, i felt sick, and weak, and confused, my heart felt like it was beating fast, i couldnt concentrate, my head hurt, i felt like i was dying . i had fears. just fears and thoughts i was dying or something was wrong with me, im 15 years old and i think it might be anxiety or panic attacks. i still cant seem to focus and im scared ill have another panic attack if thats what it is. ive been pretty stressed in the past few weeks. i did stage makeup for a big play. and i was constantly staying after school to help. and i think thats what triggered it. i was laying in bed one night and i layed my head back and i got this head rush. then my face got hot and my heart started to beat fast. and i kinda felt numb. i was so scared. then it happend three more times. and i tried to drink water and just not focus on it. well then another week went by and i kept feeling faint, and weak, and unexplainably tired, which i thought at the time, maybe i was dehydrated. well i went to the emergency room and they had me hooked to an iv. and the ekg. and they said i was fine they just thought it was a virus and i was dehydrated. well i went home and still felt a little under the weather. well i kept getting lightheaded, and i almost feel unreal sometimes. i can barely concentrate. and this has never happend before. and its so scary. ive always been healthy and normal. but now i just feel as if im in a fog. and i dont understand why.

    ”Why why why ?We know what depression feels like. What is in the brain that causes this ? It’s in the three parts of your mind. First the upper lobes erase a false expectation for life and release a hormone that goes to the stem auto brain to slow your heart and lungs…emotions are influenced by the aura part of your mind and the aura is influenced by your emotions.This pressure starts only after the post-puberty aura has been turned on. Then we recognize that we have an external ‘brain’ called the body aura. It makes our emotions that control our thoughts and so our actions. Being able to manage your aura or external brain is necessary for a stable life. Using medication is not a productive way of anchoring the spiritual aura but it works . Social-sexual activity can be used along with rock music, sunshine, mechanical, dietary and physical activity. If the aura is unduly influenced by others we lose control of our lives.
    The external brain can be manipulated. Whatever you decide to do it is good to hold on till the wind changes because it can do just that with time. There is much more to the study of the mind and we cannot ignore it.

    That’s almost word for word exactly what happened to me. When the emergency room doctor came back they told me it was a panic attack and I thought they were the crazy one. But it happened again and once I realized that they were indeed panic attacks and was more aware of what my body was doing I could step back and take more control over my reaction – not that I could stop myself from reacting, but I could in fact keep my head clear enough to step over to the medicine cabinet and take a sedative which would soon result in me feeling 100% better.

    It sounds as though it could be, however, the fact that it seems to have you feeling unwell most of the time suggests it may be a virus as panic attacks are brief and you generally feel physically normal otherwise (although, maybe ongoingly anxious and maybe ongoingly a bit tired). It’s always best to see your doctor so it was a good decision to pop into the hospital as there are quite a few medical conditions/states that can cause similar symptoms. If it continues, see your doctor and ask to have a full blood work up to check things like blood pressure, blood-sugar levels, and your vitamin/mineral stores. They may also want to do a virus check as when your body is fighting off a virus you can feel a bit heady and surreal for quite some time.
    Make sure you get the rest you need, as whether it’s a virus or a response to the stress you have been feeling, both require you to give yourself a break. Stay well hydrated and eat well to give your body the best chance of fighting off whatever you are dealing with OR having the building blocks it needs to make all your ‘feel good’ chemicals. If you doctor thinks it IS stress-related and possibly a panic attack, there is a lot you can do to resolve the issue. Don’t get stuck thinking you’re in a dead end scary hole – because you’re not. :) Having worked in mental health for years, i see people get better all the time- especially from anxiety disorders. Remember, anxiety can’t hurt you. If it turns out these are panic attacks, then you can relax! It’s simply your body over-reacting, thinking you’re in danger, when in fact, you’re not. The process of recovery involves you learning how to console yourself and use your mind to bring yourself back into the present, where you are in-fact safe. It can take some time to learn how, but a good psychologist who has a lot of experience in cognitive behavioral therapy and exposure therapy will be able to guide you through it. You might want to check out this site too: http://www.anu.moodgym.edu.au It’s a free, online, cognitive behavioral therapy course that you can do in the privacy of your own home at your own pace. I love it and recommended it to clients all the time. Even gave it a spin myself and got loads out of it! So even if it turns out to be a virus, moodgym can still be a help in your general life!
    So be encouraged. :) Go see your doctor and take things one step at a time. xo
