This has to do w/ driving into the city.

Morning went fine.

Went to pick up supplies, then when I was heading to home depot, around 10 or 11am, I started getting lightheaded. Didn't think much about it, but also while driving to home depot, the van I was driving started to overheat, I thought bc of all the weight I was carrying in it. After leaving home depot, the engine temp was at dangerous levels so I had to pull over to let it cool off.

The van doesn't have any ac and yesterday was the hottest day of the summer so far so I had to sit in the van for 45 min bc I had nowhere else to go. The lightheadedness and dizziness got worse. I found an autozone, they looked in the engine, saw there was no antifreeze in it. I had to let the van cool off w/ the engine compartment open. It wasn't a good neighborhood so, I didn't want to leave the van alone for a long period of time. I had gone into autozone a bit to try and feel better and cool off but it didn't work. Then went into dunkin donuts to cool off and get a coolata. I couldn't shake any of what I was feeling.

After the hour was up, I put the antifreeze in and the van was fine. I started driving back into the city around 2:30. Bumper to bumper and gridlock everywhere. At one point, I was so hot, I was getting so confused and started shaking. I finally got where I needed to go, the one guy there asked me what was wrong, I told him my symptoms and he told me to go relax, sit down and feel better. After a half hour, I was told to get going bc another driver was waiting for my spot so even though I wasn't ready to go, I left.

It was a LONG drive home and a scary one too. While driving home, I was getting dizzier, the tingling was getting worse in my hands and face and I was shaking more. I couldn't wait to drop the van off. I finally did and as soon as I got in my car, I blasted the AC. I stayed in my car for 15 min w/ the AC blasting but nothing helped.

Got home, ate dinner, took a coolish shower, sat under the fan trying to feel better. After about 6 hours, I staarted to feel slightly better. But, I had a horrible night sleep.

Been awake for half hour now and am still feeling chest pains, lightheadedness, heart still beating a little fast, a little shaky and yeah, not good.

I haven't been in the mood to pray -- i didn't pray last night or this morning so, since I don't feel like praying, i'm asking you to please step in and pray for me.

Sounds like anxiety to me. That's Exactly how I feel when anxiety hits. And explains why even cooling off didn't help.
And the circumstances would cause, and feed, the anxiety.

I wasn't thinking about anxiety. I've had anxiety attacks before but when those hit, it was only chest pains, no shakiness or any of the other symptoms.
