Answer: I'm having a nice warm shower

Generally, seeing spots is due to a lack of, or too much, oxygen to the brain. After running a marathon, the blood will be pumping to the extremities of the body to keep them working and the brain is working on minimal oxygen. A panic attack usually involves short, shallow breathing and a rapid heartbeat which pumps too much oxygen into the brain. Being hit in the head hard can result in blood flowing to the injured area bringing excess oxygen with it. Having a nice warm shower shouldn't induce you to see spots.
