Just as a warning, I plan on describing a panic attack I had on Monday night. I don't want this to be a trigger to anyone else who has deal with crappy panic attacks, so I wanted to let you know before I started.
Anyway, Monday night I was driving home from a lovely trip to Barnes & Noble and was about halfway home. I was by myself. Going to B&N is one of my guilty pleasures, because I can grab a coffee and browse through books that I'll later buy online used, and way cheaper.
I started getting a pretty strong pain in my right side, near my hip, but this wasn't too startling to me because I've had back problems in the past.
