What happened to me last night?
I was getting ready for bed, washed my face, brushed my teeth, then went to the loo. Then I sat in bed for a bit reading a book because I wasn't sleepy.
5 mins later I had this really bad pain down below, like a burning sensation, like I needed the loo again. I went but nothing came out even though I felt that I really needed to pee. It was really itchy too but obv couldn't itch it because it really hurt. I went back in bed and started shaking, or trembling uncontrollably, it was like intense shivering but I wasn't cold at all. I put the duvet round me but it didn't help. It was mainly my legs arms and chest which was shaking it was really strange. I could breathe ok though.
I think it was a panic attack, because I tremble uncontrollably when I have had panic attacks in the past. But I haven't had a panic attack in ages, and when I've had them in the past, my mind goes crazy and it takes me ages to calm down. Mainly because I have emetophobia (fear of vomiting) but last night I didn't feel nauseous or sick at all. I felt normal apart from the really bad pain down below and the trembling/shaking.
But is it normal to have that pain during a panic attack? -
Re: What happened to me last night?
I'd see the doctor for a urine test. It sounds like you may have a urine infection which would be easily treated. If you take a sample with you they can often do a dip stick test there and then.
You can also discuss your other concerns when you are there.
Hope you feel better soon.
