Anxiety Attacks/Hypothyroidism/Depression, do my symptoms match up?

February 10th, 2010

Aaron asked:


Hello, I’m a 14 year old boy, who recently learned he has been having anxiety/panic attacks. It started in school one day when I was in math class, I felt extreme fear and my head felt horrible, I can only describe it as a “disconnect” feeling from my environment. It’s happened multiple times and I’ve seen a doctor for it, but recently I’ve had

- Dry mouth when I wake up
- Excessive bathroom usage (Urine)
- I find I have no energy left around 3-5pm and need a nap.
- I feel a constant disconnected feeling from my surroundings
- I’m nervous all the time
- Activities I used to find fun and gave me pleasure now do nothing for me and I’m always bored, and sad.
- I’m paranoid about my breathing (which I find hard sometimes) and about my heartrate

I just wanted to know if hypothyroidism could be playing a part in this or maybe if I have depression, I just wanted a opinion before I tell anyone I personally know that I think I might be depressed.

How long can panic attack symptoms last?

February 9th, 2010

Pandaa! asked:


For a while now, I’ve had classic panic attack symptoms, but no panic attacks (well, i can bet i’ve had few and just didn’t know that they were panic attacks). A while, actually, meaning a few months (since I started practicing for my first solo voice recital).
I’ve had a shortness of breath, random pains (chest area especially–but not just heart area), nausea, and just plain exhaustion, palpitations/rapid heart beat and shaking. But not all of them all at once.

So my question is, can you have panic attack symptoms with just a high anxiety level? And how long do the symptoms last?

Oh, and I had a panic attack last night. ):

is this is symptom of a panic attack? /anxiety?

February 8th, 2010

IamNoWhere asked:


uncontrollable leg twitching, and minutes later, your mind is like twitching, minutes later your whole body twitches uncontrollably, extreme uncomfortableness, next was like a hot flash, extreme perspiration for about 15 seconds, chest pains, and vision gets extremely blurry, the colors that are seen turn to just yellow and black.

If this is? Are there any solutions to preventing these from happening?
Therapy? I think of my self as a therapist. My question simplfied is hows does a therapist cure themselve of these? Basically.

Can you have an anxiety attack without a racing heart?

February 8th, 2010

clarkkevin90 asked:


Yesterday I posted a question on here asking if you can develop a heart attack due to anxiety attack. I am satisfied with the answers I got, however, I do have one more.

Is it at all possible to have an anxiety attack WITHOUT a racing heartbeat or any physical symptoms at all?

A few hours ago, I was just overwhelmed with the most awful feeling. My mind felt like it was racing 120 mph. I tried to read something, and I could not even comprehend anything on the page. I began to get extremely agitated and paced back and forth back and forth…I started biting my nails in a nervous fervor and even tried to drink a glass of water while walking around, hoping to “shake it off.”

I felt like I was two steps away from being in a padded cell, it was ridiculous. I felt like I was losing my MIND. I thought maybe it was an anxiety attack, but I had no fast heartbeat or dizziness to go along with the feeling. That is a big first for me. I’ve had anxiety attacks for a year now, and I always felt like my heart was going to explode, but this time there were no physical symptoms to speak of, just what I mentioned above.

I went for a drive for half an hour around town, and by the time I arrived back home, I was completely fine again and felt like I had regained my sanity.

Does anyone know if this could be an anxiety (or panic) attack without the racing heart and stuff? Because that’s something I never experienced before, and never hope to again! It was absolutely terrible!

Persisting physical anxiety symptoms?

February 7th, 2010

BeachBoarder asked:


Earlier this year, I had my first panic attack and got really bad anxiety for a few months. I used some behavior therapy to basically rid myself of the mental issues and feel like I now have a strong mind.

Many physical symptoms of anxiety still linger on though. I will feel nauseous from time to time, twitchy, restless, depersonalized, dizzy and fatigued. I feel like I have defeated my panicky states, but why do these physical sensations still persist?

I do not wish to go on any sort of drug. I’d just like to hear any advice anyone has on this, thanks!

Am i having an Anxiety Attack?

February 5th, 2010

koritha asked:


Ok, so about 3 weeks ago a friend of my family passed away at the age of 42, he died in his sleep due to heart failure. It was sad, but i moved on. Last week, another friend of my family passed away, she was 64. She was a diabetic and had some health problems. However, ever since the day she passed away i’ve been overwhelmed with fear. As if im going to die, i’ve been getting these tingly feelings, i keep thinking my arm is going to go numb or that i’m going to pass out or something. I’m having alot of trouble sleeping because i’m constantly thinking about it, checking my heart rate and other odd things, and i fear dying in my sleep. I haven’t seen a doctor yet, but i will when i can. I do not have any of these symptoms when im occupied with something because i do not think about it. I am 22 Years old, and i like to think i am in good health, but ever since the last death in my life…i’ve been questiong it alot…Is this an Anxiety Attack?
