I think I may be suffering with anxiety attacks, but I'm not sure. I can feel fine for weeks at a time but then one little thing could make me sad, like buying the wrong shade of foundation, and I could get into a flurry. I get hot and stuffy, like I can't breathe, I feel claustrophobic, get headaches, I cry, and I hyperventilate. But then, after about 10 minutes I am okay and I might not feel bad again for a few weeks. Should I be getting checked out?
I am a 16 year old girl.

Hi Emma,
My advice would be to talk to your GP about it. You may be suffering with anxiety attacks or you may have a physcial health problem but either way, it can't hurt to talk to your GP and tell them what is happening. Good luck! 🙂
