Can I just point out again that this seems like a panic/anxiety attack

I'm not sure how panic attacks are suppose to feel, but I don't feel especially frieghtened or out of breathe or anything. Maybe this is just my flawed perception of what panic attacks a like.

All i know is the world looks and feels weird for a bit. Sometimes it's frieghtening, sometimes it's annoying.

This all sounds like AIWS. It's common in young children, sufferers of brain damage or users of psychotropic drugs, but not unheard of in normal people (like me).

Panic attacks or stress stuff can be as mild as feeling light-headed and dizzy - to down-right crazy shit...

-pretty much what you're explaining

...and it seems to be something which comes n goes very quickly, but seperated by unreasonably long periods of time.


Thing is - are you stressed or worried about something? Got an essay to finish off? Are you procrastinating? Anxious about a decision? Waiting for a girl to call, or waiting to hear back form a job interview? Exams looming?

Things like that can bring on panic attacks.

Also this seems likely, as pointed out already : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_in_Wonderland_syndrome

It's not a panic/anxiety attack. During a panic attack your heart starts to beat very quickly, your mouth dries up, you're short of breath and you get the strong urge to leave the room or hide. Or at least, that's what they're like for me. But as far as I know, you don't hallucinate.

More than likely its a neurological problem. See a doctor, if they can't find anything wrong with you, see a psychiatrist.

panic attacks, i think

Yeh thats a proper panic attack right? But anxiety attacks are different afaik...

 

[Mullahgrrl]

It happens to me all the time, you are proberbly just tired.

 

[BonsaiK]

It's neurological. Probably AIWS. More important to find out what causes it though. Could be diet triggered. What are you eating? It may not be a case of just "eat healthier food" or "less salt/sugar" either, it's possible that you are reacting to something very specific. You could see a doctor, if they draw a blank or want to put you on some drug that has the side effect of turning you into a walrus then you could also see a holistic dietician of some sort and see if they have anything to offer. The good news is most people grow out of this condition naturally.

I'm researching Anxiety attacks right now and you're right, it's downright nasty stuff. I still can't be sure if it includes hallucinations though since the sites I'm using aren't giving out concrete data on the topic of "Anxiety attacks and hallucinations". So I'll take your word for it on that topic.

This "Alice in Wonderland Syndrome" sounds pretty close to what he's experiencing as many people, including yourself, have already stated.

The human body really is amazing yanno...

I don't think it's a panic attack. You'd have to have an involuntary fear response for that. You should go see a doctor, especially since it's chronic. But since you decided to ask here, all I can say given the symptoms is that you're deprived of sleep. At least that's the most likely thing. Of course, those symptoms could be co-morbid with something much worse that you're forgetting to tell us about.

Try getting more sleep or eating more sugars or something.

I kind of agree, this sounds most lightly, plus I can connect it to being sleep deprived. On that note, i should probably go to bed.

 

[VGStrife]

Probably not a brain tumour as they dont come and go, just generally getting slowly worse.

My guess is blood pressure, ask at ur local GP or Docs, they can give diet advice etc.

That would be a good idea considering how late it is where you are right now. Go on, sleep is your friend.

Did you check your blood pressure during these "things"?
Some of these symptoms may be caused by high pressure...
