Which is worse, having a 30 minute panic/anxiety attack or 1 hours of hiccups?

Asked by RedDeerGuy1 (25059points) 5 hours ago

To you personally?

I would choose hiccups.
You?

Humor and serious answers welcome.

How many hours of hiccups would you trade for any time of anxiety/panic attacks?

What would the ratio of panic/anxiety attacks for hiccups duration be for you?

Panic attack.

They are miserable. The first one I had I thought I was dying. I could not breathe, I was lightheaded, my heart was racing. I was scared.

A panic attack lasting 30 minutes? I would be exhausted after. They are emotionally taxing. And the physical effects are way worse.
Hyper ventilating, sobbing, shaking. I rock back and forth. I feel weak. I don’t get them much anymore, I am on meds now. But I would not wish panic attacks on anyone

Hiccups I’d have a sore chest. I am not sure the long term effects of 1 hour of hiccups though.

As much as I hate hiccups, panic attacks are horrible. The feeling of not being able to catch your breath is terrifying.

It’s interesting you asked this because I was just afraid I might be on the verge of one.
