HELP PLEASE!

Im really scared I dont know whats wrong with me the other day I was in Kmart shopping for my room , Im perfectly fine nothing is wrong when completely out of the blue I feel myself get these chills, well they werent really chills it felt like I was getting hot and cold at the same time, and I started sweating cold sweat (I know gross sorry) and I felt really weak as if I had just run a marathon I felt my heart beat very clearly and it felt like a fluttering pulse like it was going really fast ofcourse I started freaking out and I was all alone in this aisle and even though it is not in my nature to ask for help because im usually to embarassed to I felt so sick I called some random lady over and told her I felt really sick ( I dont know why I did this, its really embarassing) then I felt my head get heavy and I felt myself falling back a bit the sides of my eyes started going blurry and then the next thing I remember there was some security guard guy next to me with a whole herd of people when I woke up, I felt really weak still Im guessing I told the security guard to call an ambulance because next thing I know I was in an ambulance to the hospital, the doctor there ran a bunch of tests and said everything came out normal and that it looks liKe my blood sugar was a little low but nothing major, it didnt seem like that was the actuall reason I fainted, he said I had a panic attack. so I went home I was fine for about a week when one day I was brushing my teeth and then I got the feeling again and I freaked out again, so I layed in my bed a bit and then I was fine with no fainting. then a few weeks later I was at my friends house and the suddenly I felt the chills again and she asked me if I was alright and I told her I needed to step out for a moment and before I could get outside I felt my eyes get dark in the sides again and my whole body felt weak and I fell back and she held me up and then I woke up again she said I was only down for about 2 minutes but it took be about half an hour to completely recover from the chills. I went to the doctor again and everything came out normal ion all my tests even my blood sugar, and the doctors put my on anti depressives for anxiety (I dont know why either) im freaking out though now im always afraid this will happen again, the first time this happened I was about to get my period so I thought it was just a period thing, but since it kept happening im just so confused. Anyone else go through this? I get so frustrated with this I feel like im disabled I just want to *** myself.

although the panic attacks could be a possibility, i'm wondering if you might want to push for further physical tests too. the only reason i say so is because it's quite rare to actually pass out from a panic attack. if your doctor has diagnosed panic attacks then that's probably what it is, though. hmm. i actually can't think of what it could be except i've had something similar before too, but it was related to heat, not eating properly, and being a bit dehydrated. but if your blood sugars came back normal then i don't know?

sorry, i'm shooting in the dark to be perfectly honest. what i would say is try not to freak out if it happens again because that WILL induce panic and make the symptoms worse. just try and sit down or lie down, and get peaceful. maybe have a drink if you've got one with you. and if you're concerned, keep asking for tests. xxx

*big hugs*

I suffer from blackouts (because of low blood preassure rather than panic attacks) so I understand how scary this can be.
It sounds to me that you are suffering some sever panic attacks. How long have you been on your anti-depressants? Sometimes they can take some time to work.
Could you ask you GP for some kind of counceling/therepy for these panic attacks? Finding the root cause of these attacks can help resolve the issue.
Take care of yourself hun, try and keep yourself as stress-free as possible, extra worry won't help anything ok hun?

I had the same type of thing happen to me about a dozen times as a young teenager and it was eventually determined it was due to blood pressure dropping. You saying that you didnt' completely pass out the time you laid down really makes me wonder if you have something like that going on. Do you live with family or a roommate who's around often? You could possibly get a bloodpressure cuff and have them learn how to use it, then if it happens again they could take your bloodpressure while you're feeling faint/sick and see if its low? Just my suggestion, I hope either the medication helps or you're able to find out if there is another cause
