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.

It's okay OP, I have a phobia of doctors and anything related to doctors, like being poked with needles so I have panic attacks from just thinking about going to the doctor. I even had such a severe panic attack during a doctor's appointment that I needed to escape so I ran into the bathroom and started crying.
