Spiritual Player asked: well its a great help, just write and keep writting how you feel, this is because it gives you a sense that you are not alone and it also gives you a sense you are normal, the only thing which is wrong here is the chemical balance in your head that gives you emotions and triggers, it has helped me tons
I am feeling normal, and being normal is not by comparing myself to others standard but my own, i wish you all the best, i know how much panic attack and anxiety can rob ppl of their lives, i feel for you. This yahoo is a great place to balance yourself
yes dreamer, i agree with you

Yummy Mummy asked:
Hi I’ve been doing a little research, and it seems my partner has social anxiety disorder……….all the symptoms are there.
He was recently made redundant, but is keen to get back to work as we have a young family to support. However, even the thought of an interview gives him a full blown panic attack…..he breathes faster, he shakes, complains of a tight chest, even sweats…………all classic symptoms of social anxiety disorder. It’s not just the thought of an interview either. Whenever we are invited out, even to a friend or relatives house, we have to make an excuse as to why we can’t go as these situations cause panic attacks. Our daughter asked him to take her swimming and although he would love to he just doesn’t feel able to as he thinks he is being watched and judged constantly. We rarely go into town to shop, and he would sooner do our food shopping online just to avoid people. He knows all this is irrational, but it’s something he cannot control………think of a fear of spiders or needles but a LOT worse.
We want to get married, but even that panics him…..and before you say that’s normal, on this level I can assure you it’s not ( I suggested just having a couple of witnesses and our daughter present but even that sends him into panic mode)
Is there any help I can get for him, as this ongoing condition is not only disrupting our lives on a daily basis, but he feels he is making our daughter miss out on a lot of things other kids takes for granted. Basically he feels like a failure to us as a family, and that makes him more depressed every day.
He has been like this for as long as i can remember, and although I’m not a Dr, even I can see this is not a normal phobia……..it’s worse.
Thanks for not quitting this novel halfway through!

Buzzy bee asked: Here is a brief description what has happened.
2 weeks ago i was sat in my friends car and all of a suddent i felt a massive fuzzy feeling come over my face , i looked up and the world was really surreal and felt like i was on a boat, my heart was pounding and i felt like i was going to faint….my hands and feet went numb, and i thought i was a gonner. my friends called an ambulance who told me it was a probably a panic attack and it should pass within 4 hours and then i will be fine.
The thing is ive never been fine after that. My eyes are constantly spaced out and i have had about four more attacks and a really big one yesterday. I seem to have all the symptoms for an anxiety dissorder but the doctor said its probably more vertigo, blood, heart, and blood pressure all cam back fine, also went to the opticians and got a new perscription but they said my eyes were healthy enough.
The thing is that my kneck aches like mad and my ears feel really full…..but that could just be wax, but i have a feeling that its all this spacey vision that is triggering the panic attacks….anyone else feel the same?
Its so hard because i have all the symptoms of both of the ‘ Could Be Causes’ , i have the full ears, the vertigo feeling, the lightheadness, and alot of fatigue, along with panic attacks, which are the worst thing ive ever experianced.
Anyone got any comments or have been through or know someone who has been through the same experiance. Doctors really dont know whats going on and im trying to find out by myself now, they say it could be vertigo and gave me some prochloperazine (dont really know if its helping or not). some days i convince myself its a panic dissorder but then others when im constantly spacey and dizzy i read an article on inner ear problems andit seems to make more sense to be that.
Any help would be great guys its starting to really effect my life.
p.s also when i go outside the dizziness seems 5 times worse and makes me feel abit sickly…..but i know i dont have agrophobia, i love the outside and hanging out with friends…..

Adam asked:
This morning at about 5 AM I started to experience some intense chest pain. The pain spread to my left arm, neck, and sometimes to my back. At the time I thought I was either having a panic attack or a heart attack, but there were no other symptoms from a panic attack besides the chest pain and anxiety. The pain started to subside a bit after I took a hot shower and I was eventually able to fall asleep. It’s been over 12 hours and my chest/heart area still hurts, and when I lay down a certain way I can hear a strange sound when my heart beats. Any idea what this could be? Should I go to the hospital?

Qwerty 123 asked: I been having anxiety attack/ panic attack like symptom and migrane only when I am trying to fall asleep..or sometimes middle of my sleep.
I visited a doctor. The acupuncturist told me that my lung is like narrow.. that’s why it makes me difficult to like breathe or something, causing the symptoms of attacks when I am laying down..
what causes it? how can I be cured? are there vitamins? or minerals?

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!

Starfall asked: My doctor believes I am suffering from panic attacks and anxiety. I’d just like to ask some questions that he doesn’t answer for me.
Is it common for panic attacks/anxiety to just come on suddenly, with no stressful incident or anything to set it off?
How long does a panic attack usually last? The symptoms I’ve been having can last for days without letting up–weakness/shakiness, chest discomfort, trouble breathing… I always thought they only lasted a few minutes to a few hours.
Are there any over the counter remedies I can try to alleviate the symptoms? I have had bad reactions to everything they’ve tried so far, and the pharmacist won’t even fill the most recent prescription because it’s in the same class of drugs as the other ones I’ve tried.
I have tried Zoloft, Lexapro and Xanax and had reactions to all–basically felt 10x worse after taking them (wanted to run screaming up the street or jump off my roof). The doctor prescribed Celexa, and the pharmacist wouldn’t even fill it based on my other reactions.
