Alright so this panic attack has lasted since last night,and was triggered by a supervisor being really harsh on me. My physical symptoms were so bad today- especially my stomach and heart rate. Heart rate was around 100-110,and my oxygen levels were at 90%-92%. My whole body just felt so weak,I had to call of work today because I was on the verge of throwing up..my legs had trouble walking. I'm feeling somewhat better now,but I'm on Gabapentin 300 mg as an anxiety med,and I missed my dose last night. Suffering from panic attacks sucks,you feel like no one understands..luckily I have an awesome mom that is helping to slowly ease me out of this panic attack. My doctor doesn't know I have these panic attacks,should I tell him or just practice techniques to prevent the panic attacks? Any advice is appriciated..
If your doc doesnt who gave you the gabapentin?
Sorry you got yelled at by your boss. I know this is cliche but your bosses attitude is on him not you. Try to hear the correction and dull out the emotion. Believe me he could care less and has no clue the agony he has caused you.
you should be in therapy to help you be able to sort all this out. Im not sure if self calming tools or using cbr or good rationale would have applied. When someone is in your face and making you feel small it can play on you quite strongly its rude. Try not to personalize hus rude behavior.

Take your medication at normal time tonight, if not sure talk to your surgery. Although the former would be ok
You are taking medication although your GP does not know you suffer from Anxiety, your GP should be told of all these mental health problems if you are taking AD medications.
Make an appointment to discuss this anxiety, Why are you on this medication if it is not the Anxiety ???

Hi QueenOfTheReich I started noticing that I do the same thing when a boss yells at me or when I feel picked on. Talking about it to someone you trust definitely helps. I understand not wanting to tell your doctor because you don't want to be judged. If you don't trust that doctor, then you should not have him/her as your doctor. Your should prescribe you with something that actually helps. Don't waste your time or money on something that isn't working. I hope that you can block your mind from caring about what your boss says. Take correction but demand respect! Hope your feeling better!
