You could be having anxiety/ Panic attacks, OR if you have Diabetes or have physically noticeable fluctuations in your blood sugar, which just act as a trigger for an anxiety/Panic attacks, my mother has had these ever since she had children. First when you feel your heart racing and an anxiety build up, don’t run away from it, keep your composure and face it, trust me it helps( I went through it too, it’s just a mental thing that works) get yourself into a relaxed position (leaning back, legs extend, body at rest, etc.) and breathe, nice and slowly, first through the nose for 3 seconds, hold for 3 seconds and then breathe out for 6 seconds. Watch your caffeine intake, avoid it if possible because it makes it worse, drink water, seriously, take care of your water intake like you’re a houseplant, it helps. And then start watching your sugar, do you get lightheaded or weak at certain points of the day, have you had too little or too much sugar throughout the day, are you eating and resting enough. And remember to breathe, these are just like waves, if you plant your feet in the sand and find the ways to stay calm, they will pass, another wave may come, but it will always pass.
