I had some kind of episode/attack while playing basketball, indoors, two days ago. I have never experienced this before. I was not tired in any way, I was not out of breath.
I drove and made a layup. Right when I landed, I felt somewhat dizzy, out of breath, and my heart was beating really fast(like I just sprinted up a set of stadium bleachers). My hearing went almost completely away, and I had a very clear, loud ringing in my left ear. The game stopped for some reason, I could see the guys discussing something. I put my hands on my knees, and took some calming breaths. It really didn't make a difference. I just continued, and it went away after about 75 seconds.
I felt kind of anxious while this was happening. Almost like it was an anxiety attack. I don't know what anxiety attacks feel like, but this is what I think they would feel like. I say this because I was somewhat nervous. I was playing with really good players, with people I have never met, at a gym I have never played in. I wanted to do well. When I drove for the lay in, I didn't get any kind of shot before that. I wasn't getting the ball. Maybe the nervousness mixed with adrenaline, and I had some kind of episode. In fact, that is a good way to describe it. It felt like I had a major, lasting, adrenaline trip that would not go away. Like I was falling down the first fall of a roller coaster for 75 seconds, even though I was just standing. Although, I never lost my hearing on a rollercoaster, and never experienced a loud ringing in my left ear.
Does it sound like a neuro problem, a heart problem, or does it sound like some kind of anxiety attack? BTW, I was plenty hydrated, and had breakfast that day.
Thanks for any help.
