I felt like i was dying last night.. what was wrong with me?

Q: Hello, i am 15 year old female. This morning at 5 am ish i woke up with bad stomach cramps (which i have never had before) but i thought i would just leave it because i didn't want to wake my parents up until about 7am cause they would be going to work soon ish. But at 6am it got really bad, that i struggled down to there room and asked for a pain killer cause i felt like crap, then i stood by the toilet for a while cause i thought i would be sick, but i wasn't so my mum gave me a drink of water and i had a sip just to see if it would help me be sick but i wasn't sick, instead i was struggling to be breath and apparently was gagging for air. and then my mum said i fainted on the floor and couldn't get back up. Then my parents made me sleep in the spare bedroom and i was freezing cold! and the pain killer took over an hour to work completely. and i was lying there with 3 hot water bottles ! Also i went to the doctors on Friday and he didn't help me, he basically just told me to get out more, but now it seems to get worse and i am going back to the doctors in 18 days and i am worried in case it gets worse also i am not on my period and am not due a period xxxx

A: Anxiety/panic attack. Are you stressed out? Or was the pain so bad it made you panic? When you start feeling this your heart rate would increase, you feel like fainting, you might get tunnel vision, and you can get sweaty. You feel loss of control and you cannot stop yourself. If this happened before I would discuss with a doctor about panic/anxiety disorder. It is hard but when this happens try to take deep breaths and meditate/talk yourself through it.
