Am I having a panic attack?

So lately some things have happened in my life that are causing me to have a :
racing heart
chills
paranoia
and shaking.

Is this a panic attack?

It sounds like a panic attack, but we would need to know if you are going through a lot of stress or at least some stress. It could be other things, even a B-12 deficiency, whatever. Now, if you are under a lot of stress right now, then it does sound like a fairly classic panic attack.

Could be, but there are other serious things that could cause those symptoms. You need to see a doctor.

First off I wouldnt worry,i have been a sufferer from panic attacks for 3 years,yes those are symptoms of panic attacks,i feel all those and more...ive been looking for help myself but I realize nothing is wrong with me and getting out in the world helps alot.Its caused by stress from something,could be anything all you need to know is dont be afraid of it,yes u should consult a docter to make u feel better with a clean slate,but 99% chance....ur OK!!

I've had a panic attack before. I had trouble breathing, my stomach was hurting, I had stomach cramps, I was really dizzy. I had trouble standing up. I couldn't eat cause anything I ate, I would choke on. I was shaking, if you gave me a cup, I would accidently spill everything out. <-- this is a panic attack... So see a doctor next time.

Change the way you are thinking. It is your thoughts that are making you feel sick. Try to meditate. Alot of people with panic attacks feel like they are going to faint but that is impossible because your heart is pumping alot of blood to your brain so you will not faint. Also breath, slow and deep. Hope this will help, there are also alot of self help books out there invest in one.

Sounds like anxiety attacks. But best bet is to write down symptoms when they happen, what you were doing even the time of day and what is going on in your life at that time and during the day and then take it all to the doctors. Do the journal for a couple of incidents.
