I have been off paxil for a year and a half...take xanax occ. I woke up with my heart racing and it wont settle down,,,I always think I'm ok until an attack strikes....just feeling nervous right now ....
I get like that Hun in middle of night and in the morning I'm not taking anything everything I've bin given it don't work..makes me work I get tremors and heart pounding and trying to accept a breath and chest pain it's called a panic attack..try taking deep breaths in and slowly breathing it out and try to relax..XX hope you feel better soon
hi judy - i have been through this and what really helped me was 'Rebrething techniques'. There are many techniques and you can learn them on youtube or google but one of the easiest ones is by cupping your nostrils with the palms of your hands and breathing slowly and deeply from and to the restricted volume created by your hands. This controls the hyperventillation and brings you out of the panic attack
I will try that....I was having a bad day yesterday....thanks
Thanks..I almost feel silly when Im not having one...but when it happens it seems like Im going crazy.
