So I was sitting in class and all of the sudden I feel weak, my heart starts beating really fast, hands get cold and sweaty and I feel fatigued and scared I was going to pass out or something. It just came out of nowhere, I wasn't nervous or anything prior to it. It lasted about 5-10 min, and it scared me. :eek: Now I feel fine but I don't know what happened to me. Could it be a panic attack, or something else?

When i was in highschool it happened to me sometimes, it was because i had low blood pressure and it was scary because i felt as if i was going to faint, my mom told that to eat few salt was good in those situations but i think you should go to the doctor, maybe its only low blood pressure like me but a general check up would be good.

Hey thanks, my friend was telling me the same thing about the low blood pressure. So does that mean I have to lower my salt intake or eat more salt? Yeah I should get a check up soon. It's happened only once to me before but I forgot how long ago already.

What i was told was that if i eat few salt when i feel bad, then i would feel better, but i dont know if that works because i feel again better after 5 or 10 minutes so i dont know if was because i ate salt in that moment or not :)

Low blood sugar (not enough to eat)?

I was running late that day, not to mention I had only 5 hours of sleep the night before. So it could of been because of that too.

I've had lots of anxiety issues. I've also had low pressure issues. I suggest you bypass the untrained people on this forum and go have a doctor check it out just to be safe. A lack of sleep may cause similar feelings, but not likely if its just missing a few hours one day. It would likely have to be having almost no sleep one day, or missing lots of sleep over a couple days. If it were anxiety it's likely you'll experience it again soon as they rarely happen once and stop. It it were low blood pressure it could be months before you experience it again. And if you're having low blood pressure issues you should see a doctor as that can be dangerous.
