first off i feel for all of you that have experienced theses horrible feelings, i had my first one in a long drive going with friends was riding in the back just talking laughing listening to radio etc...about 2 hours in out of nowhere i began to feel like i dont know how to explain (felt like i wasnt here?) kind of vertigo and then i felt like i couldnt swallow and heart pounding and hands sweating and i had to get them to turn around and go back and the closer we got back to my place i started to feel instantly better, ever since 20 years ago i cant travel very far like 1000 miles unless im driving its like if im driving i know im in control to get back to my safe zone? idk got diagonsed with gad and get the same way when going to out to dinner i have to sit by the exit or if to busy i will have to leave and i feel like i cant swallow or breathe in those situations, get outside im fine, thanks for life saving meds that most of us TRUELY need and working out and music and talking with people like me on here makes all the difference, i know people have it worse than me, my dad was a vietnam vet and had ptsd maybe genetic although i never noticed him complaning of anything just tough, but i was young when he passed (25) so maybe plays a role idk, i feel for all that suffers with these they can be horrible..peace be with us all, take care all ...HR
