Anyone else get panic attacks out of nowhere?

So I was just sitting at my desk working and suddenly my heart starts racing, I feel like I can't breathe, and my hands got all tingly. It lasted maybe 10 minutes but felt like an hour. I've had anxiety before but never anything like this. Should I go to the doctor or is this normal? Trying not to freak myself out more.

Yeah man, panic attacks are no joke. I've had a few out of nowhere at my desk too. Made an appointment with my doctor just to rule out anything physical. Could be worth doing that first.

That's rough. Working in tech, the stress buildup can hit you like a ton of bricks sometimes. Your body's telling you something needs to change. Worth listening to it.

The racing heart is terrifying when it happens. I've gotten panic attacks and the worst part is the fear that it'll happen again. Have you talked to anyone about it or tried breathing techniques?
