Maybe a first panic attack?

Yesterday afternoon i was sorting some cloths out for washing, cause my mum was getting pissed off they were in the way and making a mess, and all of a sudden my body seemed to run out of energy like i was been drained. So i sat down on the bed short of breath and breathing heavily wondering what the hell was going on, then for some reason i started crying but not in a way because of sadness or pain, i just started crying. Then i started to spluter and cough trying to get my breath and made my way onto the floor where i sat for about 15-20 minutes, i knew i had the energy in my body to stand and walk around but my brain was telling me other things. It was like the scence of dying, as if this was the end, but yet there was no light at the end of the tunnel or flashing images of my life, just a dizzyness and emptyheaded feeling. After about 30 minutes of been on the floor i manage to stand up and have a glass of water and after a few hours i felt fine.

This morning i rang my local gp's surgery where they said i had to wait till tomorrow for an appoitment, so this led me to read up on what had happened to me the following afternoon. This led me to believe i had a panic attack, or was it, it seemed to tick all the boxes and made scence of what had happened. But it was something i have never experenced before, on reading deeper and deeper into it, it can be passed down from other family members, but my family have no history of panic attacks or such like.

It is said "panic attacks can come and go like the changing of wind", i dont want that, it is possibly the single most scary moment of my life, like there was nothing i could do to prevent my fate of the 4 walls that surronded me.

We shall see what a proper medical minded person says tomorrow.
