It’s been 6 years but the memory of my first panic attack is as fresh as it happened yesterday.

It was my first day to my job after graduation and I was travelling to work on the metro train. Suddenly, I noticed my chest was getting tightly grabbed from inside, there was no pain just extreme tenseness on my shoulders trying to figure out what’s going on. I even felt like vomiting.

As soon as the train stopped I jumped out and tried to puke and drink water but nothing was helping me out. I thought its simple anxiety and I can deal with it so I went ahead to the office. Next ,I was sitting in the conference room full of newly joined candidates. I was looking around and then again the blow of a panic attack came. It was like a heart attack. I again went running for water but it didn’t help. After two minutes I saw two more people behind me. I was sure something was wrong and I needed to go to the hospital and I literally hugged those unknown people and requested they take me to hospital. They tried to control me but I was fully blown out. It took me another hour to get normal.

And here I was standing fit and fine with a question in my mind, ‘What the hell just happened today? !!!’

I can’t explain more but that’s what happened. Today I am a fine healthy man with no issues.

If anyone would like to share their experience here, I would be all ears and listening.
