My usual situation is that I get up in the morning and taike a cup of cofee, ten jump in the shower. Usually 3 x's a week or more I end up coughing severely in the shower, then gagging, then eventually bvomiting (I've always attributed this to panic or anxiety attaks) There are also times when Im driving the long drive to the office and start to think about the work ahead and the whole situation starts over again.

There are other times whee all i have to do is think about a project at the university thats due, or about spending some money on a purchase (like a camera lens) and I go into these fits, that start off coughing violently, then gagging and sometimes vommiting. Sometimes I can control these episodes from ending in vomiting by deep slow breathing and thinking of happy thoughts, other times that does no good and I have to reach for the plastic bag carried in the car to vomit into. After these episodes are over I feel okay until the next one happens which could be anywhere from 1 hour to 24 hours.

Would this be termed as anxiety attacks or panic attacks?

Thanks,
