Could Delayed Sudden Reaction Spreading From Stomach To Back And Leg, Numbness And Difficulty Breathing Mean Panic Attack?

I think I just had a panic attack. My surfboard fell off of the wall, scared the dog, woke me up. I thought the wall was caving in. I had a delayed reaction that spread from my stomach to my back and legs. Numbness and difficulty breathing. Is this a delayed panic attack?

Dear
Welcome to HCM

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. I sincerely do not think that you had a panic attack. Panic attack is usually happens to those with anxiety disorders. For you, the incident was just fear and after. We do not call it panic attack. Even though the symptoms are same. Panic attack is for anxiety disorders. That means panic attack where there is no inherent fear inducing objects and still we fear. Actual fear is caused by physical objects which causes fear. In your case, you encountered just a fear. Don't worry.

Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
