Woke up late to work this morning. Called my boss spoke to him for a short bit. Hung up with him. Sitting outside my body started to get really heavy. My brain was like running a thousand miles an hour. My arms were really heavy or felt like I couldn’t hold them up. I freaked out. I went to lie down in the bed. My vision started to get blurry. Felt like I was sinking down in the bed. I was super scared. Felt like I couldn’t breathe and my heart was pounding. I started yelling to my wife I was having a heart attack. She tried her best to calm me down. I called 911. At the time it did not feel like a panic attack. As soon as the ems came I felt like an asshole. It was gone. In hindsight it did feel like a panic attack. Anyone else get these.

Also they checked my blood sugar. It was 76. I’m not diabetic. But could be a culprit.

Very scary… props to wife…for helping me thru benzo withdrawl and panic attacks. Yuckkk I hate this shit. But I guess it’s better than having something really wrong.

I do, bad like that. It feels like an awake seizure of sorts, mine have always been this way. Effect my movement and feels like I'm wearing a helmet, sometimes can't walk,  feel semi paralyzed. Over 100 is high for glucose I think, isn't it ?

If that was a fasting blood sugar, it's the low end of normal. Below 70 is hypoglycemia. Over 100 to 125 indicates pre-diabetes. Over 125 is diabetes. If you were hypoglycemic the ems would have given you glucose, and taken you to the hospital.
