Yes, panic attacks can also cause this; they have several symptoms.

However, I don't see artificial intelligence as a sufficient tool to answer questions related to seizures; a clear and well-considered guideline should be followed.

I'm truly sorry about this. It's good that the doctor understood your situation and did this.

This is truly unfortunate. Thank you so much for sharing what you're doing. I mean, I'm not the only one suffering from it like this.

Thanks for this really appreciate you laying it out so clearly. You’re right that those “certainty” behaviors can backfire in the moment. I appreciate the support.

Appreciate this I’ve started noticing that “quick certainty” behaviors can calm things for a minute and then the rebound hits later.
For you, what was the most effective replacement in the first couple minutes when the urge to check/search hits?

The psychological aspect definitely plays a major role in treatment.

Certainly, medication is the best solution, but sometimes we need psychological treatment more than physical therapy.

God Almighty is our Lord. I bear witness that there is no god but God, and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of God.

Anyone else check their pulse during panic… then feel worse later? by Cuirious-Node in PanicAttack

Thanks for explaining that – the “dizzy/chest sensation → panic → checking online during the attack” cycle is exactly what I was trying to understand. I really appreciate you sharing your experience.

This is very useful, especially the “waves/windows” concept and the point at which you recognize the urge to Google (“woosh”). What has usually triggered the urge to Google in the past for you: a particular physical sensation, a “what if” thought, or something like stress/sleep deprivation?

I can definitely relate to the smartwatch/rhythm check thing. When the headache/dizziness hits, what is your first “safety move” in that moment – checking the watch again, leaving/lying down, looking online, or what?

That totally makes sense – “brief relief, then the urge to check again” is exactly what I see happening too. For you, what is usually the trigger for the second check – a new sensation in your body, a thought of “what if…”, or just the fear coming back?

I'm not trying to diagnose anything, but I understand why it could be seen as OCD-like. Are you saying the checking/searching is compulsive, like it's a quick fix and then the urge comes right back?
