Feelings of impending panic attack and severe anxiety

Posted , 8 users are following.

I am 51 and have had weird anxiety attacks periodically mid cycle for the last couple of years. I had a sressful event occur for 4 weeks and was in a state of constant anxiety and full on panic attacks however this resolved and I felt 'normal' again. In the last 2 weeks I have been having a weird sensation, like I am about to have a panic attack/cry but then it stops. Also, I have severe anxiety for no reason, pounding heart, shaking, flustered, buzzing in head type symptoms. The really strange thing is (so glad you all understand and can relate to the perimenopausal bizarre symptoms!) that the panicky feeling seems to come on worse when I bend over. Really, really weird. I am still getting regular periods but have just had some very mild mid cycle spotting so I know for a fact that things are a happening with my hormones. Do many people experience panic attacks, or the beginning of panic attacks constantly?

    Dear patricia

    Throughout my life with my agoraphobia I have suffered panic attacks but entering into peri I found that I was having them out of the blue anywhere. I also went through a stage os severe anxiety. Thankfully after taking multi vits for 50 plus it did help my anxiety but somebody like me with panic disorder that wont totally go but at least it has subsided. At its worse the random panic attacks would suddenly make me feel strange and I could feel the panic rising! X
