Anyone else who gets panic attacks when eating spicy food?

I ate something I didn't realize was spicy. The moment the hotness hit my lips, my heart started palpitating. I realize it triggered my panic attack. I finished my food but not the spicy one. I suddenly feel scared for no reason. My heart beats faster, my chest tightened. I feel like insanity is messing up my heart and mind. Everything feels like overstimulating.

It's been an hour and my heart still palpitates. Anyone else who had this experience? Also, is this a panic attack or anxiety attack?

When I read comments, there's always someone who'll say it's "long covid".

What symptoms does someone feel?

How can you get it?

Does it go away without taking medicines?

I'm just curious because many seem to know this one except for me.

Anyone else who experiences dizziness, fainting, cold sweats - the one that feels like your brain shuts down for a second and your body feels like collapsing and then you feel numb that it feels like your body isn't connected to your head?

Please can someone share something because I'm scared. I do have anxiety but this one is just random I've been experiencing this for 3 months now off and on. I went to the ER 4 times and I am negative for the Thyroid panel, 3 ECGs, 4 CBCs and urine test. Every time it happens, I get scared to the point my body tingles up to my face. Every doctor during those shifts told me to go to a psychiatrist. Is this still anxiety? Neurological? or something

Help I'm scared.

Let me start by saying I have social anxiety. I lm also anxious about my future all the time because I am not in school right now because of financial struggles. I'm insecure about it and envious of my batch mates posting their academic achievements. I'm unemployed and I'm having a hard time looking for jobs because of social anxiety. I just cry before bed. Anxiety also runs in our family. But I was physically fine.

Until one night when I was in a crowded area during a community event with loud sounds and bright lights, I suddenly feel like fainting. My body chills, my vision started to blur and I really feel like shutting down. When I went home, I drank hot water and held the hot compress for my hands. I became okay. For the next few days, I still feel normal not until one night, when I turned the speaker to sing karaoke, I got scared of the bass sound. I ran to my mom crying and not knowing what to do. I suddenly hated and feared the sounds. A minute later, I fainted, my body went tingling and I even got scared because of what happened. For the whole month, I was experiencing this. it's like a hypertension. I got sensitive to sounds and music. I became more anxious about people and the surroundings. I have cold sweats and palpitations with chest tightness. I was crying all the time because I was so scared to die and cannot even sleep properly because I might not wake up anymore. I got more scared from the thought that I got scared from the things I normally do. I feel like clinically insane and that thought made me more scared. The fear is just overwhelming in chest and mind. I went to the hospital but there's no findings. Negative for Thyroid panel, 3 EKGs, and CBC. The doctor said I may have a panic attack and probably stressed too much. She only advice me to overcome what I'm feeling and thinking and go to cardiologist to really test I don't have any heart issues. I just went home and rested. My family cannot afford a heart specialist. Weeks had passed and my anxiety became frequent and I have episodes of panic attacks. What I do is breathe and distract myself with what I like to do. I find a little relieve from being aware that nothing is hurting me. No one is hurting me. Then another month had passed, I became less scared of the sounds and music because my mom gradually expose me to it. But the physical symptoms I mentioned earlier is still there because my anxiety and panic is still there. I fear about something abstract, the thought I'm gonna die because of what I feel physically, and the thought I can go insane from panicking. I went to the same doctor and she said I should go to the psychiatrist this time because I'm still having a hard time mentally and emotionally. After hearing that, I get scared again. My family is trying to help me through exposure and motivation. We cannot afford a psychiatrist and we are scared I became dependant on medicines. Is there any options? What should I do more? Should I really go to a psychiatrist?
