Q: sudden paralyzed feeling in body

I have been dealing with anxiety disorder for the past few years I guess. It really didn't become too much of a problem until several months ago when I had my first panic attack and was taken from my job in an ambulance because I thought that I was having a heart attack. Things ever since that night have been a lot more difficult for me. Anyway...I have developed a new symptom that I am assuming is due to my anxiety disorder and I was wondering if anyone else has ever experienced this. The first time it happened I was at work and I was talking to a guest and all of a sudden I felt paralyzed. I don't really know how else to describe it. It was like I wanted to move my body but for a brief second I couldn't. It was a really scary thing to experience. For the rest of the night I went through the same thing. It was like the muscles in my neck were really tight or something and I was having trouble moving my head and neck. Does anyone else have any idea what I'm talking about??? Confused

This happened to me last night- while driving. I somehow got myself pulled over without using any body parts. Luckily my boyfriend was in the car. He rushed me to the ER and they concluded it as a panic attack. I am so frustrated by this diagnosis. I was not stressed or anxious or panicking about anything. In fact, it was my birthday! I was a little tired but definitely not stressed. I want to know what is going on in my body. I am terrified to get in the car by myself for fear it will happen again. I literally had no control over my body, my hands were numb and locked into a weird position. My knees locked up, my whole body was tingling. Anyone else ever have something like this happen?
