“Head rush?”
I suffer from health OCD, anxiety, and depression. I have for most of my life. I just had someone steal from my work- I didn’t feel nervous though. A few minutes later I was upright the entire time and felt a head rush that last maybe 2 seconds. Then I panicked internally. Cold sweaty hands and fear and trouble breathing from my chest from overthinking. Is this typical when you have anxiety? I also have sinus issues all year that causes imbalance during winter.

This sounds like panic and it typical with anxiety - please see your doctor and seek out therapy for anxiety and OCD
If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency, please immediately call 9-1-1, or proceed to the nearest emergency room.
You probably have had treatment in the past. A combination of psychotherapy with medication is the way to go. You also should get a physical exam with blood tests to be sure all is OK in the physical department.
Appears like panic from report. Need to check out with provider.

This is most likely a panic attack.
