Anyone get panic attacks? Spent the weekend with a buddy and we were hanging out and imbibing a few. The last day I was there he was complaining of dizziness, rapid heart beat, shakiness, and cold sweats. Well I thought right away that it was a heart attack so I called 911 and they took him to the ER and he checked out fine. Other than being a big dude, everything checked out-blood, blood pressure, no stroke, no heart attack. The guy exercises all the time, and it really threw me for a loop when it happened. I am glad we took him to the hospital, since I am no medical guy. So that was what he was diagnosed with...panic attack. I have never experienced anything like that before and was wondering how common they are.
