Is This A Panic Attack?

I don't even know what's what anymore. I've been pretty good the past few days. Today I was laying in bed sleeping on and off and out of no where felt a bit dizzy and my heart racing. Then this feeling overcame my body. I wish I can explain it. Kind of like my blood stops flowing for a second and I feel a bit tingly and numb through out my entire body and my vision seems blurry. I feel like throwing up and have a lump in my throat feeling. My hearing goes in and out and I just start to think "I'm dying, I'm sick, there's something with my heart" etc. I've narrowed down that it may be vertigo, and nothing with my vision as I went to doctors last week. I've been diagnosed with anxiety and depression but I don't think I really fully know or understand what a panic attack is which is why I ask, does what's going on with me seem like a panic attack?

Hi @Chaoticmind, it must be a confusing time for you, have you asked your doctor or psychologist is its a panic attack? When I get one, my body will start shaking, heart races, dizzy, confused, disorientated, I feel like I am dying. It sounds like it might be but it is always good to make sure there is nothing medically going on that could be causing this. Hugs
