Hey guys, so I had a massive panic 'event' about 5 weeks ago. Was having ongoing panic attacks and anxiety that messed me up for a week. I'm one month into Lexapro and my head is feeling a little better but the physical symptoms are lingering around. Gastric reflux, sore body and trouble sleeping. Will they go away? Thanks in advance
The stress after a panic attack can linger for a long time. Also medications can take up to 6 weeks to start working so keep up with those a little longer and you should see more relief from the symptoms. The fact you know it was a panic attack will make you feel better, I had one 2 weeks ago my heart suddenly started racing, paramedics said it was panic and anxiety but I still can't believe that so still anxious hope you feel better soon, onwards and upwards!
Thanks for your support. My psychologist clarified that it was panic disorder etc....
I still feel so shaky though and keep convincing myself something else must be wrong
I do exactly the same, I have even gone to a private cardiologist as I was convinced there was a problem with my heart, turns out my heart is perfectly fine but I still keep getting skipped beats and stuff they still scare me! It's crazy how our brains can do this to us but we can't let it win we need to regain control, you'll get there your doing great if your starting to feel a little better
