Hi!
So since June I've been having panic attacks. The first few times I had them, it was due to the situation(s) I was in, and they were (to me) reasonable reactions to things that were happening. However, recently my panic attacks have just been at random times for no apparent reason. For example, today I went to see my grandma and had a really nice day, and I've just come home and started to have a panic attack. Nothing has happened, and even as I type this, I don't FEEL anxious. Is this normal? If you have panic attacks, has this ever happened to you?
Also, is it normal to sometimes just have one or two symptoms that you get during a panic attack (for example: rapid heart beat, shallow breathing and racing thoughts) without having a full-blown panic attack? Or being able to have these symptoms and still be able to function (unlike with a real panic attack where you basically can't do anything but sit down and try and calm yourself down)?
Thanks in advance for your help :)
