I was a heavy smoker for 15 years. Yesterday I went to Costco with my wife to grab some things. I set myself up a bit by reminding myself that this place was a trigger for anxiety over a month prior.
So we get there and it seems ok but then I started sweating and my legs started feeling weak. We got out as quickly as possible and it seemed to past.
Then the evening came and I started to experience a fast heart rate and thoughts of doom and death. I was able to overcome it and get to bed.
My question is if a single panic attack is a sign of a wave of paws coming as I have been having a pretty good week overall. I was expecting one to come but actually this time was the longest I had gone since quiting without a panic attack.
