How do I stop Panic Attacks before they start?

December 21st, 2009

ramesh i asked:


I get frequent panic attacks after my “run in” with a heart problem I had a year ago. Panic attacks for me comes in waves and does not leave me for 3 – 4 days. It makes me feel very scared and depressed and I am edgy all the time. I keep feeling pain sensations in my chest, back and arm and can’t get over the feeling – that I am going to die or get a heart attack.
I did go to the doctor and my heart specialist. They can’t find anything unusual in my heart …they have given me some medications for this panic disorder – xanax – but that freaks me out and the withdrawal symptoms are awful. Thanks

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.

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?

cutiezzz asked:


I dont have full-blown panick attacks often but recently I’ve been experiencing anxiety for no apparent reason which comes in waves on and off again everyday for weeks. then other days i’m fine. I’ve checked other sites that list symptoms for panick attacks and back pain is not part of the symptoms. its frustrating coping with it wen i know it’s not dangerous but random heart compultions keep occuring. not to mention it’s very uncomfortable and painful.
