Panic Attacks!

[ziggy_pj]

How many of you suffer from panic attacks? Those who have panic attacks suffer differently. When I get mine I feel like I am going to die and I am get short of breath. A local news personality came out about his attacks. Medication helps but does no cure them.

Do you have panic attacks?

stick with it ziggy_pj
I have a form of agrophobia which causes my panic attacks.

In the attacks I have I feel real upset and scared out of my mind. I know they are irrational but theres nothing I can do to stop it unfortunetly. I dont feel like I am going to die or have a heart attack but I know many people that do that way

I find medication does not help. The only way I know to help is just to try and stay positive minded at all times...which is'nt as easy as it sounds lol

I suffer panic attacks, I feel as though i'm trapped in a corner with no way out, I hyperventilate. I have not yet found a way of preventing it so yeh I just live with it.

In the middle of the panic attack I have to tell myself that I am not going to die even though I think I am. My doctor gave me a puffer just to help me during the panic attack (not asthma attack). Yesterday my doctor also gave me a medication for me to take daily. Though the thing is is that today was my first day taking the meds and some of the side effects are upset stomach (I have been feeling really nausea), as well as dizziness. Believe it or not my doc also said this medication can make you feel worse and some people actually commit suicide off of it. She said if that happens to stop taking the pills and go see her so she can switch the drugs.
