Panic Attacks?
Posted: 08-29-06 02:39am

I don't know what this is, if it's a really short panic attack or not... Something scary could happen, or I could even be thinking about something scary, and I get a tingling feeling in my lower abdomen, like just below my belly button. But it's not like pins and needles, it's something between that and that feeling you get when you swing or go over a hill on a road while your driving and you get that tingling in your stomach...
But the feeling only lasts a few seconds, about 20 seconds at the most. But somewhere I read that panic attacks last 20 minutes. So is this still classified as a panic attack?

And i'm also curious as to how it happens... Like a hormone thing or something?
