Panic attack or anxiety

"I have been experiencing this problem for the last 4–5 years. It started during the national anthem, when I would feel dizzy and uncomfortable. Gradually, the same thing started happening during religious prayers (aarti), while sitting on the back seat of a bike, and in other situations as well. Before these situations, I automatically start thinking that I will feel dizzy. When it happens, I experience dizziness, a fast heartbeat, sweating, and a strong urge to sit down. I remain conscious and can hear and understand everything around me, but I feel very uncomfortable. This usually does not happen when I am alone. It mostly happens in specific situations or around other people. I would like to know whether this could be anxiety, panic attacks, or something else."

Hey It may be anxiety related, especially because it happens in certain situations and starts with the thought that you will feel dizzy. When we repeatedly fear a symptom, the body can become extra alert and trigger dizziness, fast heartbeat, sweating, and the urge to sit down. The fact that you remain conscious and aware of everything around you is also commonly seen in anxiety and panic related episodes. Still, it is important to rule out any medical causes before concluding it is anxiety alone. Since this has been happening for 4 to 5 years and mainly in specific situations rather than when you are alone, a proper medical and psychological assessment would be helpful. The good news is that if anxiety is contributing to this, it can be treated effectively with therapy and the right coping strategies. Take therapy.
