Panic Attacks

Posted , 4 users are following.

I just had 2 panic attacks in under 45 minutes which is new to me, it was so intense that I feel like it's never gonna end,

my attack symptoms are...

stomach discomfort, knot and hungry feeling and yes I'm hungry but I can't eat like this

upper arms, shoulders and back feels numb

sweating in my face and upper arms

tightness sensation in chest

lightheadedness like passing out

back of my ear hurts and feels burning, ringing

What's your symptoms?, How long and frequent you get panic attacks and how do you cope with it? please share your own experiences...

    i have learnt from my experience, the more you concentrate on the symptoms the more panic you get the more symptoms you get smile. this is the sad truth.

      Had my first full blown attack 5 months ago, it was triggered when feeling I'm abt to have a flu so I tried steam menthol inhalation, I inhaled it a bit quicker and then I got this menthol rushing to my head and thought I can't breathe then Boom thats it, the feeling of having a heart attack, that day change my life negatively big time.

      abt earlier this was the  2nd attack since the 1st one and it was triggered by the discomfort in my arms and jaw that are one of heart attacks symptoms.

      It takes me a couple of days to let the trigger fade so I'm just asking cause we can talk privately to help each other

      Yeah I feel you, I also have those thoughts, have you seen a doctor and are you taking any meds? does your family know about it?

      well for me it's hard to talk it out to my family, I tried and they can't seem to understand, I know they won't, so as everybody else who never experience this hell but I know they are trying hard. we'll all get through this.
