my panic attacks been happening for over a year now. i will be driving my son to school in the morning and listening to music with him and out of no where it feels like im gonna have an attack and its hard to think about anything else. sometimes my attack gets really bad my fingers curl up and get stiff and numb. get a twitch in my lip too. everytime my body feels weird i start to panic. why? i hate this! i had strep throat 3 days ago and got a penicillin shot and started panicking cause i was thinking the penicillin was making me feel weird. my lymph nodes got swollen today and i started panicking. my face also felt numb on the left side and i started panicking. i was at the dentist last week ready to get my left wisdoms pulled and had them stop cause after they numbed me my lymph nodes under my chin felt swollen and felt like i couldnt swallow like i was gonna choke. i started panicking and they put a oxygen mask on me. the doctor said it couldnt been cause i had strep and the numb med. caouldve irritated it. idk! now my appointment is in 2 weeks to try again. and when i think about it i panic! i feel better when i tell someone how i feel when i feel like im having an attack. but it happens so often i dont want them to think im just trying to get attention. anybody out there just want to chat or tell me how you get through your attacks. what helps.
I have health anxety that really effects me really badly. I start worrying over litle pains and akes. Yeah samehere i like talking to other people it makes me feel really good.
Hi are you taking any med s for the panic attacks. ? I no that feeling so well what you're explaining. I went through the same. But I did need meds from my gp for the panic attacks. I took citalopram didn't work. Then they put me on sertreline which were a lot better for me. Only thing I wish I didn't take was diazepams. Belive me if a gp offer you that drug say no. Just read up on them. Nasty pill..
hi. thanks for the reply. i am not taking any meds. im so worried about side affects. i dont want to have to depend on pills, just wanted to know if i could get by without pills.
god i hate that! then i start googling why do i feel this and that. makes me feel worse when stuff comes up about cancer or something serious. my bf says dont believe everyhting you read on the web.
Yeah I was the same, but I going to be honest with you. 7 weeks and I ended up in a&e cause I couldn't control the attack s no. So then it was pills and rest and alot of brain control. Yeah its a rough ride pills going in my body. But now I do have s better life now then I did then. Hay life is hard and your not the only one who feels like this. Wish you luck
thanks shell. question about pills. do you have to stay on them forever? just wondering.
Hi no some people only need them sort team. Its the diazepams is hard to come off, a lot of them are safe. And having s good gp . Mine was a s... dr just didn't know that back then.
Yeah sameher these past few days ive had a tummy bug and i went to ANE for check i was soooo scared it might be something else really hard to go sleep at night. Im always thinking what can it be checking on internet im feeling it right now that fear that comes in me every morning.
Hi,
This all above you write is very common if you are a hiper sensitive, it is better for you that put one thing in your mind that every body including you will be dead in future this is universal truth and time is set you cant dead before and after,
2nd you should use as i am doing that make a note book and write the problem and illness happense you before and it was solved after a time so you dont need to afraid that things , when you drive dont take heavy meal it will effect your health during driving try to drive with little food in your stomuch also you need a some relex tablet you should take which will support your worrys also take deep sleep every day will heps you , one thing put in your mind that this is not a big problem ang desease its normal problem which many people are facing , take light food and try to take fresh air every day , I hope all these things will help you please let me know if you feel better. regards bye
Tell yourself nothing is wrong over and over. Focus on the beauty of nature when driving. Hum a song that makes you feel good. See a therapist to learn how to refocus your thoughts.
ok so i started juicing for almost 3 weeks now.i watch this show on netflix called fat, sick, and nearly dead. very interesting. im not juicing to lose weight. im only 105. petite. i started to detox my body and to get the nutrients and vitamins. i would put kale, celery, carrots, strawberries, banana, peach, spinach, apples, orange and sometimes other fruits. so i did it for 2 weeks straight. i would have it in the morning and one in the late afternoon. but i would eat regular. i swear its helped with my anxiety and panic attacks! i didnt have one panic. but then ive been really busy and i didnt do it for 2 days and i had 1 small attack. then i started again and now i feel fine. if anyones trys this let me know if it works for you.
