Continue to talk to your doctor and if he/she won’t help, get a new doctor. Anxiety, or panic attacks, seem severe … but they won’t kill you. When this happens, try to talk yourself into believing and knowing that YOU WILL BE OKAY and IT WILL BE OVER SOON !!
Goodluck

i would just suggest that you tell your teachers beforehand, then if you do leave class they will know why, but i would go see another doctor

talk to your mom, see a BETTER docter, and just remember you have control over your life not the other way around, there’ no reason to panic, everything’s in order and will work out, but you need to tell us are you sure it’s an anxiety attack is it from being nervous and worring about things or are you actually sick?

Get another doctor – what kind of arrogant a** would say something like that to a patient????
If my doctor said something like that to me, not only would I fire him, but I’d report him to the AMA.
That is just ridiculous.

I don’t know anything about your eye balls hurting, but I am very aware of panic attacks…having them myself…You should call your county mental hospital….Yeah the one where people go to the hospital because they want to kill themselves…I know you don’t want to kill yourself..but people don’t realise how panic disorder really effects a person…I’m from Saratoga county, so I called Saratoga County Mental Hospital….so you should call your county office and tell them what you are going threw and they will help you…good luck

First off, your doctor is FULL OF SH!T and should be ASHAMED of himself and PUNISHED…but that’s not gonna happen.
Try somebody more sympathetic.
You might want to find a questionnaire on panic attacks (that’s probably what you’re dealing with) and see how severe your symptoms are. That would be a good way to bring it up w/a doctor or professional. Try WebMD or mental health websites…they have questionnaires you can fill out.
At the very least, your doc should have told you to look into stress relief techniques, like breathing exercises, tai chi, qi gong (along the same lines as tai chi but more about the breath), yoga, etc. Also, there are some “exposure” (not THAT kind of exposure!) exercises that are self-help things you can do on your own.
I used the book Dying of Embarrassment to help with my social phobia problems. A self-help book can be a good thing to look at, get a few tips at least, until you can get some help from a CARING, WELL-QUALIFIED professional.
Doctors are NOT GODS. They DO NOT have all the answers. Some of them are inconsiderate…some of them are downright harmful to their patients. When it comes to mental health, many of them are really prejudiced, and that is NOT YOUR FAULT.
You probably need to do some deep breathing stuff, a little mind-control kinda thing. But you probably need therapy and some meds. Keep looking for a doc that can help you, not some jerk who thinks you’re lying.
Your symptoms are real. Find somebody who believes you.
I do!
Edit: and BTW, general practitioners/family doctors/ nurse practitioners generally DO know about mental health stuff and though they’re no substitute for therapy, you may actually need to see one, if you’re in an HMO that requires a referral to specialists. Sometimes, they can also prescribe some meds until you can see a psychiatrist/therapist.
Personally, I despise psychiatrists because all the ones I’ve seen have been total quacks or just not very bright. I get my meds from my family doctor’s office (from the doc or the nurse practitioner, who can prescribe anything but controlled substances, which you don’t need, anyway) and I see my lovely therapist twice a week.
Psychiatrists are often much worse than family doctors because they have prejudices and tend not to listen to what you’re actually saying. They can misdiagnose you quite easily if they hear what they want to hear instead of what you’re actually saying. Some are good, I guess.
I’ve never seen any good ones.
But therapy is certainly called for here. If it takes referrals from your PCP, get them. Be persistent. Managed care sucks sometimes, but if that’s whatcha gotta do, do it.
