Question about panic attacks?
i was at the movie theatre when all of a sudden my hands started getting numb and i could feel the pulse in my wrists, and my heart started beating really fast and i felt like i couldn't breath or even swallow..i wasn't eating anything, but when i went outside my heart was beating even faster like i had just ran or something, but after a while i calmed down and was fine. was i having a panic attack? do i need to get treatment or something for this? i'm 19 yrs old and that was the first time that happened to memy mind did start racing and i was thinking about a lot of things like if i would stop breathing cuz my heart was beating so fast. i had no sugar or caffeine and i could feel the pulse in my veins without touching them like it was a very strong pulsehaha i'm not sure i guess i just submitted it in the category it chose for me
Recurring panic attacks...how do I get them to go away?
Hi everyone. Please don't judge, but I was a marijuana user for about a year or so. I had worsening panic attacks when I'd smoke, and I mean INTENSE fear, like the scariest fear you could ever imagine. I figured this was not normal so I stopped. After I stopped, I suffered through intense panic attacks and derealization for about a month after I quit. It was horrible but I was eventually able to live my day to day life without these attacks. I made a stupid mistake in picking up the habit again for two weeks about 3 weeks ago to the same result with the intense panic. So I stopped, and now it's the same thing again ever since I quit. I can mostly get through the day but I feel like I'm going to die sometimes, like things aren't real, or I keep scheming like " If I started to pass out now, how embarrassing would that be? Who would help?" How do I get these stupid attacks to stop? I've tried medication but it makes my attacks worse. I experience symptoms such as indigestion, elevated heart rate, blurry vision, and I can't stop fidgeting. It really makes me worry this is something more than a panic attack. Could anyone give me some advice? Thanks.
What medicine is more effective for anxiety disorder/panic attacks?
My doctor put me on Zoloft first, the generic, Sertraline, and I tried it for a week. It made me extremely nauseas, light headed, I had hot & cold spells, standing up made me feel like I was going to pass out, and if I didnt eat before I took it I had no desire to eat for the whole day. He switched me to Lexapro, and it seems to have to same side effects on me. Both of these are in the class of antidepressants called SSRI's. To me it sounds like SSRI's arent good for me. My mother mentioned that my godmother takes xanax for her panic attacks, but she only has to take them when she feels like its gonna be one of those days. Does anyone know if this might be better for me, or what I could take that wouldnt have these awful side effects. I just started back at college & I cannot be sick every morning.
What is a type of disease/problem that has almost the same symptoms and causes as an Anxiety/panic attack?

Why am I having panic attacks?
I started taking a generic to Zoloft called Sertraline for my anger problem. I have never had any mental illnesses or history of panic attacks. About three months into taking the pills I took one pill in the morning and went to work. About ten minutes into drive I felt very light headed then I got a weird feeling in my stomach then I got the feeling that I was about to pass out I felt like I could not breath I exited the highway and was about to call 911, and it stopped. I was still very shook up and I went home, when I got home I would feel fine for a minute and would try to lay down then the next minute I felt the panic feeling again. When I finally fell asleep I woke up and was fine. The next day I drove to work not taking the pills that morning and still felt the panic feeling all the way till I got to work but it was not as extreme as it was the day before. When I would get to work around coworkers I was fine, when driving home I would start to feel a little panic. This eventually stopped for a week or so but it has came back a couple times. Well it has been probably about three months since I stopped taking the pills and everything has been fine ill today. I was riding in the back of the van with my kids driving home and I got kinda hot and all of a sudden I got this feeling of panic. I am 26 years old and had no problems with anxiety panic or anything like this until I started taking Sertraline. Is this going to stop? Is this just in my head? Has Sertraline done something permanent to me? I am about to try to join the Military and I don't want this to effect me. If anyone knows what is going on or has gone through this please reply. Also I tried to take the pills a couple times after all this happen and all it did was make me panic and think that the same thing was going to happen again. But for three months nothing like this happen and the pills where really helping me with my anger. Can someone help?I have not tooken Sertraline or any other medications for over three months now.
Are these panic attacks?
Well first of all, when i went to Birmingham City centre i kept thinking to myself " Im not going to faint, im notgoing to faint" but for some reason it made it worser, i went really lightheaded and thought was going to faint but it went away later. Then just when i thought i had a virus on my computer while my dad entering his bank details i couldnt breathe and my dad said " If you carry on panicing like that you may get a heart attack" which made me even worser. Can i die from panicing too much and really bad btw?So are these signs of panic attacks? Im really scared, im only 16.
Why do some people get panic attacks from weed?
I recently had a horrible experience where I smoked, freaked out, and felt like I was dying. I know that there are many other people who have had this happen to them. I read on a forum about people's experiences with this situation and a lot of them had been smokers for years and have had this happen to them multiple times. What makes this happen to people? I felt fine the first couple minutes and then all of a sudden I started freaking out and I'm so scared to smoke again definitely considering that busycat...thanksdefinitely considering that busycat...thanks

What causes a person to have a panic attack?
Ok so here is my story..I am 38 years old and after my mother passed 11 years ago I started having panic attacks. They were so bad that I hated going anywhere. Well, I went many years without having them and suddenly I had one in the mall. I thought that I was going to die and I could not get out of there fast enough. I thought that this was a secluded event but now they come everyday. I know that this is going to sound insane but my dog passed a week before this attack and I am wondering if that would have anything to do with it? I do not want to have to medicate..any ideas and please don't be mean...this is serious. There have been many changes in my life in such a short time and I know that change and anxiety go hand in hand. I need advice I live where I know NOBODY I know its strange to ask the country but at this point...I need a internet buddy that has some answers.
What age did you have your first panic attack?
Panic Attacks Or Asthma?
Hi, I suffer from panic attacks but I also have asthma and I was wondering how I can tell the difference between the two? For most nights lately i've felt like my breathing has been bad, but I get light headed, my mouth gets really dry and my heart starts racing. It seems to get worse when i'm on my own and it seems to get better if I do something to take my mind off it which is extremely difficult . Any ideas?
Panic attacks and extreme anxiety?
I have been living with anxiety and panic attacks for many years now, but I could really use some help I take panic anxiety attacks constantly My heart races and it's hard to breath, my hands tremble, and I worry constantly. I am so stressed out it is unbelievable I think of the craziest things to be worried about, things that I know aren't even real or true I need to over come this, and I REALLY want to do it without medication if I can. Counting to 10 and deep breathing actually seem to make the attacks worse. I am good at hiding what's going on, people who know me are surprised to hear that this even happens to me I am an intelligent person, but this problem is really getting the best of me. It also effects the people around me, the people that I love, and I hate that If anyone has any advice it would be greatly appreciated Thanks
Panic attack and possible agoraphobia..?
Tomorrow I am going to Niagara Falls and it's a three hour drive. When I leave home I am normally on edge and end up having a panic attack. Could you please give me some tips on how to get over them and deal with them, it would be greatly appriciated. Thank you so much in advance.I haven't spoken to my doctor about it cause I'm not sure if I wanna take medication because my grandma was on them for a while and says they are very addictive and I don't want that happening
Panic Attack came back!?
I have had? have anxiety disorder starting in grade 9. After 2 yrs of constant fear i thought all was going downhill but I then discovered the Linden Method. It saved me and I've been anxiety free for 4 yrs. Now after a death of my teacher my anxiety came back. This time it wasn't during the day. It was during the night, which was opposite of what I've experienced before. It's like taking sleeping pills. One dose will work, but you need to take more the next time. Now it's not enough to say " this won't hurt me i'll be fine" it doesn't work anymore. I keep thinking when is this ever going to leave me alone? I mean all is fine during the day but as soon as I lie down I get various symptoms. Sometimes it's a dropping feeling in my stomache, other times it's pins and needles, or butterflies. Insomniaaaaaa oh, I don't need medicine, since I know it's possible to conquer without it. Any other comments would be MUCH appreciated Feel free to share your stories too
