Is this a panic or anxiety attack or something else

I feel like a wave comes over me. Seconds later, the sounds goes down, my fingers tingle, a vein in my left arm pulses, and I feel like I鈥檓 about to pass out. I鈥檓 enveloped with fear. This lasts for about 30 seconds or so. I鈥檝e been to the doctor. They did an EKG. They say my heart is fine. It feels as though adrenalin is pumping through my body. I felt that sensation 4 times in about two hours. Once while I was driving. They come on all of the sudden when I鈥檓 not even worked up about anything. What is wrong with me? Has anyone else out there experiences the same? Which drugs helped?. I鈥檝e tried Wellbutrin but that doesn鈥檛 seem to help much. Thoughts???

You could be experiencing Generalized Anxiety Disorder, but the sudden onset can seems to suggests you are having panic attacks.

The panic attacks are usually more severe with the physical symptoms--you think you might actually be having a heart attact, you might break out into a sweat. your body will set you into fight or flight mode. Panic attacks are usually short in duration, but can be terrible to experience because of the physical symptoms. You went to a doctor to rule out an actual heart problem; smart move!

In the midset of a panic attact you will feel your pulse racing and you might have trouble breathing, which is the adrenalin reacting in your body, It is an awful, awful feeling because they come unexceptedly and that creates the anxeity of waiting for the next one. The physcial symptoms are very real, so I feel for you, having developed the same symptoms out of the blue a few years back.
