Anxiety attack during SAT ?

Valleyofthedolls08 asked:


So today I went to take the SAT’s for the first time. I was a little nervous about it when i woke up, but nothing major. Drank an iced coffee and went. I got to the test center, chatted up with my friends and laughed before going into the exam room.

So Im doing the test, start off pretty well, write a nice essay and keep going. Right after I finished section number 6, I started feeling a little weak, a bit lightheaded. I figured it was from not eating anything and take a bite out of my chocolate bar. But I felt so nauseaus and decided to put it away. Suddenly I feel more and more weak, a bit of palpitations.

So I enter back the exam room and start working again. I feel incredibly light headed and just have this overall feeling of not being to able to breathe. I feel horrible but manage to do some of the math when suddenly my hands start shaking and Im sure Im going to faint. I get so worried about fainting in front of all those people and start getting even more palpitations. By this moment I feel so much chest pain, dizzyness and nausea that I start getting very scared. I got up and decided to leave, hand in my test and desperately go for the door.

I called my friend and told her in tears that I felt as if I was dying. It was horrible, I sat on this bench and waited for her to come pick me up and I just had to hold myself so bad from fainting.
She took me home, and I just couldnt get this horrible chest pain and numbness in my body so she told me to lie down. I did, and after about 10 min or so, my breathing began getting easier, my chest didnt feel so pressured and my shaking had stopped. She gave me Diazepan and I slept for like 5 hours and woke up better.

I still feel a little trembling when I think about it, but now Im just so scared of this happening again. I’m so nervous, I have to take the SAT in december, and what if it happens again ?

Whats going on with me ??? It just happened out of nowhere!
