Panic Attacks?


Question:
i haven't seen anyone ask about these? do you get them and what do you panic about? most people think they are going to die. i feel like i might lose control and jump of a cliff or turn into oncoming traffic or something crazy like that. it's so scary.

Answers:
I would get them and feel like I was having a heart attack..Went through every test imaginable and they decided it was anxiety.Was perscribed some med and have been good to go ever since..On occasion I still have slight ones, but yes, sista, I know how scary they are..How does being at the ER 4 days in one week grab ya.That's what I went through..Thank God there's meds out there to help!! Take care honey, it'll get better..

I worry about dying
Medication and Therapy usually help though.
Get GABA. It will reduce the number of them.

Very safe substance, our bodies already have it, but most of us are deficient in it. No side effects. Just like anything else, don't overdose. 200 mg is usually the max per day.
I do have them occasionally, however I don't "feel" things like loosing control, or jumping off a cliff. Usually, when people have panic attacks it is a physical feeling, like tingling hands, tight chest, dizziness, weeping without feeling sad..things like that. I usually have them after severe stress, and at times when I'm in a crowd. Many times it is when I have come down from a stressful situation and am calm. It usually starts off with a bad stomach ache and tight chest. You should talk to your doctor about your symptoms..I had those when I was on the pill, and once I went off, they went away. Also when I have a panic attack I am debilitated for an entire day..I can not function at all. Yes, they are scary, but keep telling yourself that it will not kill you and you will be fine.
I panic about what other people think of me, or i panic because i am afraid of panicing. I panic when i am in an enclosed area, running behind, or if i feel like i have let someone down. I panic because my life isn't exactly what i always thought it would be. I panic over just about anything.
i do but you can breath thru them drink a big glass of water the meds today are great!
Hun dont worry that is the most common of the mind playing tricks on you let me guess you have had alot of attacks and it just all seems crazy and all the sudden you think OMG what happens if i just ran over than and jumped or OMG what happened if i took all those pill knowing in your right mind good and well you would never do that. I have suffered from anxiety and panic and mild dep for 10 years. You need to get on some medication to help control the attacks and help boost your brain chemistry. They wont hurt you and you can and will get better. A mild benzo maybe in order that way you can stay calm and relax i take celexa and Klnopine and they have helped me with that feeling you are having right now. I was always scared i was going to weave in the other lane and kill someone or drive my car off the bridge and or hurt myself and or someone! You wont i promise with medication and then after you have calmed down and got in the right mind set Therapy such and Bio Feed back CBT and Stress relieff can be perfect!! You will be fine and there is nothing to fear! And hey if you are intrested in going to a site that really helps and you can speak with others with this same disorder go to www.anxietypanicsupport.com there i have been for 7 years and There are so many of us out there take good care dear!
