Plz Help! I have a friend who has a prob. She's been to the Dr. - no help - do you know anything about this?

Question: During an episode (which happens quite frequently now) she can't breath, starts to sweat, gets really dizzy, & faintish -like, can't think, has trouble seeing and she gets really scared. After its over she gets very tired, & worn out. She is in constant pain in her head, neck, shoulders, & back. She has bouts of anger that shoot off when not expected. She even curses sometimes (which never use to happen - she never even had a bad temper). She can't handle heat anymore, & the slightest things would set her off . She hears voices at times that aren't there. Does anybody know what it could be? Does anybody else have this problem? This is very serious! Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanx!

Answers:
It does not sound like a mental problem. The part where you describe as being tired afterward sounds like a seizure. The constant pain could be either the cause or just a symptom. She needs to be seen by a neurologist and get an EEG. She should also have a cat scan and/or a MRI.
This needs to be done immediately.

Other Answers:
Sounds like SEVERE panic disorder (and maybe more). She needs to go to the local mental health clinic for an evaluation, pronto! :(

Best wishes to her and to you for trying to help her!
