Panic attacks

Anyone have them? I used to very frequently in my sleep (they started when I was a kid), but not since I was pregnant with David while I was awake.

Well, I can't say that anymore.

Of all times to have one, while I was washing my hair in the tub. It started this morning, I got up too fast this morning and had a dizzy spell. Okay, no problem. Then I went to take a bath and wash my hair. The dizzy spell had been on my mind and I was worried about having another. I did and that time it turned into a full fledged panic attack. My hair was still full of shampoo, so I rinsed it as best I could with a plastic cup sitting on the side of the tub. Thankfully I was able to calm myself long enough to get out and dry off. I was really afraid of falling, so I was really careful getting out of the tub.

I had planned on running into town today, but didn't trust myself driving, so that'll have to wait until tomorrow or Wednesday. I'm on medication for them, but it's been quite awhile. I wonder if I need a re-evaluation of it. I'll have to ask my doctor when I see him next month.
