Yes understanding that many other people have it does help with wrapping your head around the concept that it is all in your head and your body is doing fine.

One thing I can't stress enough, if at all possible, you need to learn how to deal with the attacks without the aid of anything else.  The more escapes you use or chemicals you use, the more you will become dependant on them.  You having both OCD and panic attacks makes complete sense as they are both anxiety related disorders.  You need to see a psychologist also, not just a medical doctor.  It is very likely that they can help you deal with this problem.  It takes work and time.  I'm not against taking drugs for these things, but take them while you are in treatment for a long term cure.

^I've been to many Psychologists, Some helped, not all tho. Guess I need to keep looking.

My first experience was at Calif. speedway. I got into a 800 horsepower dragster with all the gears and I started panicking.
Then couple of years ago I had another and my doctor prescribed Xanax.

It's really hard to sleep some times and Xanax helps me to sleep.
I take that stuff maybe once a month.

Exercise, good diet, and reading calming books, and bible helps me alot.
I actually lost 18 pounds in past 2 years.

Havent had a full blown attack ,though i suffer from severe bouts of anxiety.
Sometimes i just find myself wondering if i locked the door or not, travel back home(30 min) and then see that it was locked in the first place. And the Hypochondria is the worst part. I go to the doctor for every little thing and everytime he suggests seeing a therapist, which i dont. (denial, i guess)

I just wanted to ask: Is a panic attack the boiling point of the symptoms i have now? Some kind of nervous overload?

BTW, yes, I don't wish it on anyone.
Anxiety attacks are horrible.
It doesn't help that I have tumor bumps all over, and acid reflux.

Concentrating on my breathing is how it started for me too.  I would hyperventilate until I started to lose feeling in my fingers.  Luckly, the what is most likely to happen if you hyperventilate enough is that you pass out and start breathing normally again.  I had to force myself to breath normally even if the rest of my brain was screaming at me that I was doing it wrong.  I progressed from there to thinking if my heart was beating right.

Worst panic attack ever?  I tried cocaine.  The next day I thought I was going to die (well, worse than any other panic attack).  In retrospect, not a smart thing to do.

Its really tiring, worrying about stuff constantly. And whats worse is i know its in my head, and cant do shit about it. I mean, ive blown relationships because of this.
Its the brain, it goes into overdrive ,whether you like it or not.

Panic attacks (or general anxiety) are caused by different things in different people.  There are people that suffer from general anxiety disorder and in others they can be brought on by stress.  The difference usually has to do with the frequency of the attacks.  If you frequently suffer from anxiety (panic) attacks, then you may suffer from GAD, but you need a therapist to really help you discover that.  If you are under an abnormally high amount of stress and you are getting panic attacks, dealing with the stress usually eliminates the attacks.  For people with the disorder, it isn't that easy.  The attacks can come out of nowhere and be debilitating.  In all cases, it is a good idea to talk to someone about it so you can understand what you are going through and how to deal with it.

GAD

Panic Disorder

While I'm posting these so people understand what they are, do not self diagnose!  Always go to a professional if you think you are having problems.  It is a good idea to do research on general ways to reduce stress and deal with panic attacks, but don't assume you have a disorder and that only drugs will help you.  Different people respond to different treatments and a medical or psychological professional can help you explore those treatments.

^Thats the case for me, Remove Stress = Still Panic Irrationally. But if Stress is their the attacks are worse.
