Thanks for the response. My thyroid was checked, and it was normal. As for the panic attack, I am not even sure it was a panic attack (or at least it didn't start out as one). I had been suffering with a stomach flu and knew that I was in no shape to go into work that day. I was nauseaus before even leaving the house, but did not want to miss a day of work. I had to keep sitting down when I was getting ready for work to stop the nausea. At the bus stop and the whole way to work on the bus, I kept telling myself that the nausea would pass and that I would not be sick. Eventually what happened was everything just started spinning (nothing else - no pounding heart, no sweating, etc.). But it did freak me out and I got off the bus and went home and back to bed. I guess I imposed a panic attack on myself (who knows). Anyways, nothing like that has happened again. Unfortunately, I can't seem to forget that one incident. I am doing a program to give me the tools to deal with something like that should it happen again. Hopefully it will not only be enlightening but useful.
