pairless attack - #18516

Arjun

I am really confused about this thing called a "pairless attack". A few months ago, I started having these strange episodes where I would feel this sudden rush of anxiety, my heart races, and then I have intense feelings of fear for like no real reason. My doctor thought they might be tied to my stress levels, but then last week, I had one that felt way more intense than the others. I was just sitting on my couch watching TV, and suddenly it hit me. My hands got all sweaty, legs felt weak, and I got dizzy. It kinda felt like a mix between a panic attack and something else. I looked up "pairless attack" after a friend mentioned it to me when I told her what was going on. I'm wondering, could this "pairless attack" be what's happening to me? Like, is it even a real thing or am I just misunderstanding what it means? Has anyone else felt like this during these episodes? It's just so hard to pin down what’s going on, and I feel kinda overwhelmed trying to understand if what I’m dealing with is actually a "pairless attack" or some kinda panic disorder. I mean, why do they happen, and how do I stop them? I’ve tried deep breathing and all that, but sometimes it just hits out of the blue! Any advice would really help, I'm kinda at my wits end here!
