Symptoms of Panic attacks?

January 16th, 2010

bigdrum66 asked:


OK, so.

I suffered a massive panic attack 3 weeks ago after smoking some pot. That was my first panic attack ever. Since then, I’ve been getting panic attacks + shortness of breath every day. I started getting chest + back pains 2 weeks ago, and I thought that it had something to do with my heart so I checked into the ER last weekend, but after an ECG and a chest X-ray nothing was wrong. I felt considerably better for about 24 hours after that. Now I am experience back + chest pains, shortness of breath, panic attacks, and lightheaded-ness.

What I want to know, are all of these symptoms from my panic attacks? If so, HOW DO I DEAL WITH THEM!!?? I am not panicked or stressed about ANYTHING. They just seem to come out of nowhere and make me feel like crap for the day.
I have not smoked pot or cigarettes since that initial attack.

What’s the best way to deal with a panic attack?

January 15th, 2010

Brandon P asked:


I have them a lot and worry that the symptoms I’m feeling are really a heart attack. So that just makes me panic more. Or I’ll worry about getting stomach aches, which will in turn CAUSE them and thus create a cycle of panic. Any tips?

I have panic attacks but the weird thing is that I do not have some of the symptoms like others do. Help?

January 14th, 2010

ihaven0commentz asked:


My panic attacks happen quickly and only last a short time like less than a minute, but I do not have the difficulty breathing nor do I feel my heart pounding heavily. It is annoying and it happens more than once a day, sometimes even more than three times. HELP!!!
Basically when it starts, I feel like I am burning, dizzy, upper abdomen hurts, and an intense fear feeling, but my heart just beats normally.

LVH / Heart murmer / panic attack?

January 12th, 2010

Mo asked:


I’m 42 & previously very healthy.
Went to ER with sudden h/attack symptoms – they said panic attack & high bp,
went to GP she said stress & high b/p – also a heart murmur.
Went to Cardiologist – diagnoised LVH.
a) Is there a connection between Panic / LVH / Heart murmur?
b) Do you think it was really a panic attack – never had one before?
c)Cardio did not mention h/murmur no one has before – do they come and go?
d) Been on Cardizem for a month and still have high b/p and chest pains – Cardio just increased it from 180mg to 300mg – is it normal to still have chest pains?

Thanks I am new to this medical world!
