Panic Disorder
By
Panic Disorder
This disorder is marked by the presence of repeated panic attacks: sudden feelings of terror that appear with physical symptoms like rapid heartbeat, sweating, palpitations, shortness of breath as if suffocating, dizzy or light-headedness, numbness or tingling in the extremities, nausea, and visual distortions.
During these attacks sufferers often fear they will have a heart attack, faint, lose control, go crazy, or even die. The attacks begin to subside within 10 minutes but anxiety usually persists longer.
Some of the attacks appear “out of the blue” which leads to a generalized fear of more attacks, but some situations may reliably trigger the attacks.
Over time, people often begin to avoid the situations where they have experienced previous attacks. This can develop into Agoraphobia, an avoidance of situations from which escape may be difficult.
As this disorder grows it can become severely disabling often limiting people’s abilities to travel or even leave their homes.
The good news is that panic disorder is highly treatable. With medications, cognitive behavioral therapy, or both, the sufferer is soon on the way to recovery.
Remember you are never alone.

I occasionally have minor anxiety. Last time I had a full-blown attack was at work. I had some caffeine and a stimulant pill prior. It is good to know what can trigger your anxiety so you can avoid. It is a scary thing and can make one feel not normal. That said, hang it there man. I know you can pull through and deal with it.

so then i thought i had a tapeworm trying to come out of me lol. i don’t know why i would have thought something stupid like that. it was probably the weed. anyway then i started freaking out even more. my heart started to beat rapidly and so hard i thought it was going to burst out of my chest. i thought great im choking to death and having a heart attack. i felt like i was going to faint and never wake up. so the ambulance came and said i had a panic attack.

the first time i …
the first time i ever experienced a panic attack/anxiety attack i was smoking some weed in my room. lots of weed. when i was about to have another toke i felt like their was something blocking my airway. so i tried to swallow it down but it felt like it got stuck and i couldn’t swallow anymore. it was like i forgot how to swallow so i started freaking out thinking i was choking to death then i felt whatever was in my throat move around.

i think i have anxiety. my hands feel wet and clammy and numb. i cant breath good at all. i get chest pains right where my heart is and that really scares me. i also feel light headed. and nausea i feel like i cant swallow good and stomach fluids are trying come up. and i feel like im going to die of a heart attack or something. i also feel like i cant sit still i just want to hop in my car and drive to the hospital as fast as i can. i am feeling all of this right now. and usually every day.

note: that it takes at least 2 weeks for any new med to really “kick in” and start to do something. I am 54 and has had panic attacks since i was about 13 years old…..believe me, I know all about the tingleing, nausea, racing thoughts, shortness of breath and losing weight…..and…..I experienced all this while holding a full time job dealing with the public and a total A-hole boss. As my late father said…”no one ever said it (life) was going to be easy.
