Advice please?

I think I just had an anxiety or panic attack but I can’t really tell. (I don’t mean to insult anyone who has anxiety or has panic attacks) just recently I’ve been more aware of my thoughts and one thought that has been lingering in my brain was whether I have anxiety or not.

So my parents had yelled at me and I was feeling frustrated, angry, sad, and a mix of emotions that felt like they were pinning me down. After they left I closed my door and I broke down crying and curling up in a little ball as tight as I could. Like before all the emotions I was feeling made me feel like they were weighing me down and so many thoughts were rushing to my mind that I couldn’t focus. One thought led to another which led to another. I started to hyperventilate and tried focusing on breathing but I couldn’t. Sometimes I will write down my feelings but I couldn’t, all I could do was grip the pen in my hand like I was holding on to it for dear life. As I sat down with my knees pulled to my chest as tight as possible I started to rock myself back and forth It was the only way I felt like I could calm down even though it was hard for me. I looked around for anything that could somehow relax me but my mind made it feel like the four walls around me were closing in. My heart rate was faster than normal but not at a rate where I felt like my heart could burst and I know a few people who do have anxiety and have told me about their anxiety attacks and I just wanted to know if I had one but I didn’t want to insult them by what could be just me overreacting because I have been stressed and emotional and overthinking about literally everything. I know that not everyone on here in a therapist or is specially trained to diagnose someone but i figured maybe someone who has anxiety can just tell me if maybe I had a minor anxiety attack or if I really was just overreacting. I apologize if I insulted anyone who has anxiety in any way.
