Today, I went to get minor surgery done. I have anxiety and a phobia of needles, so they gave me laughing gas. It gave me a panic attack. FML

OP here. I couldn't post for the longest time as I was having a problem authenticating my account. Anyways, I looked up the symptoms for anxiety vs panic attack. While I have general anxiety, I do indeed get panic attacks as well. My symptoms mostly match up with a panic attack.

Laughing gas makes me anxious too. I don't like the loss of control feeling over my body. I'm sorry you had a panic attack, OP. I hope you have a healthy recovery!

I'm sorry. I somehow have an allergic reaction to laughing gas and I hate hate hate needles.

Oh man, I had the same problem once when I had to go in for tooth extractions. They put off doing it for a very long time; I actually have to have it done tomorrow!
