Why do they say panic attacks are not good for us, when excercise is?

December 20th, 2009

Karen B asked:


I have been reading online about panic attacks. They say that panic attacks aren’t good for us, at more risk for this or that. They teach people with panic attacks that it will not harm them. But excercise is good for us. What? Panic is like running. Fight or Flight responds.

I have several family members who suffer from panic attacks. I am not sure how to help them when they are in panic mode or their anxiety level increases. It breaks my heart to see them so upset and I feel so helpless. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to help someone who suffers from panic attacks?

How do you help someone having panic attacks?

December 19th, 2009

RidnOnNeons asked:


I know someone who has been having panic attacks for 2 weeks now! They have already been to the doctor and diagnosed now I guess it’s just a waiting game for the meds to kick in. Anyway since they have been having them she doesn’t want to be alone. If she is for the smallest amount of time then she freaks out. Should someone always be there with her or should she be better off getting over it herself? She feels as though she CONSTANTLY needs someone there during the day! Is this even normal for a panic attack?

Can I mix Paxil and St.John’s Wort for my anxiety disorder or will it have bad effects?

December 18th, 2009

mark m asked:


I have panic disorder and I’ve been on Paxil for about 2 months now and I still get anxiety from time to time. I was wondering if I could take St. John’s Wort like before I go to school and see if it will help ease my anxiety. Is it ok to mix or just leave it alone?

What should I do about my frequent panic attacks and nausea?

December 18th, 2009

akira asked:


I’ve been having panic attacks for about a year now. I also usually have like a lump in my throat feeling and nausea. I saw a doctor a few months ago and she prescribed me some Lorazepam. The med did not work very well, and I still have panic attacks.
I have panic attacks because I start thinking of getting them or getting nauseous. So in a way, I have developed a fear; I’m pretty sure I must have Panic Disorder.

Is having occasional panic attacks which raise ur bp bad for your health?

December 16th, 2009

Luke asked:


I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks and if I get a bad one, I notice at the ER that my blood pressure shoots through the roof. Nothing TOO high but it can go 130/140s and very close to 150s, and the lower number can go into the 100-110 range.

Is this something I should be highly concerned with?

It normally drops to like 100 over 60 afterwards when I’m sedated, and it never stays at that level, but it can shoot up there in a matter of MINUTES!

Should I be concerned, becuase none of my doctors seem to be at all, whatsoever,

but people on this message board go crazy if you mention anything over 120/80.

I n eed some true advice.

I just saw a cardiologist today and he didn’t seem the slightest bit concerned.

He didn’t do any extensive tests on me since I Had heart palpitations frequently, but im also sick, so maybe during illness its more normal?

He said the palps and the anxiety/panic high bp are nothing to worry about.

Is this true?
I also notice that SOME times my LOWER number seems to be the most dramatically increased, and other times its the HIGHER number.

What could cause the lower one to increase, and what would cause the higher?

December 15th, 2009

Healthy Guy asked:


Its not worrying me, because im trying to fave the fact i am a hypochondriac…..but someone mentioned that it may seem hard to breathe sometimes, even if not having a panic attack, simply because you have a lot of anxiety.
