I dont know if I am having a panic attack.. but I am scared for no reason

I dont know what qualifies as a panic attack but I am terribly scared for no reason.

I dont know for sure if my heart beat rate is fast or slow.

One fear is that of getting busted… well its coz my parents dont know that I smoke cigarettes in the balcony… they know that i occasionally smoke but they dont know that i am a regular smoker.

So that fear is always there and apart from that the feeling of someone close to me expiring is bothering me a lot… nothing happened but what if it would…

Apart from that I dont know what but its giving me more than just a mild stress.

Need help and suggestions… please.

Because you’re able to type this,

I don’t believe you’re having a panic attack, right now.

This mounting stress could tip over into panic attack territory if you don’t gain some control.

When I feel like this I look for distractions,

My go-to is video games.

It doesn’t require much thought and it keeps you actively distracted,

Even a phone game would work.
