I have a friend who keeps having panic attacks, and is constantly afraid of crowds, new people and other such things. I’m really worried for her, and I want to know what I can do to help her, along with tips I can give her to help her get over the attacks and fear. I want my friend back, and healthy again. What can I do?
The panic attacks I’ve experienced very infrequently over the last several years have suddenly become horrifying and almost constant since I quit drinking.
I am twenty-seven, uninsured, and have very little money. My options seem to be: 1. Keep drinking (and even this is becoming less effective); or 2. Buy some kind of benzodiazapines off the street.
Any suggestions? Is there some kind of free detox program?
My 15 year old daughter is having panic attacks which include feeling faint, becoming very hot, vision blurriness and fear. She recently was given glasses by our optometrist that are basically “placebos” because she didn’t need glasses but was convinced she did. I got some herbal supplements but I am afraid of the prescription medications for her. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I have bi-polar and am taking medication for it. But started having
panic attacks 3 years ago. I drink quite a large amount of alcohol
because to self medicate. I cant drive at the moment and cant even go for walk on my own. The only time I go out is with another
person. Does anyone know if zoloft is effective. Please help as I
want to be free and independant again.
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 get panic attacks and I want to help myself through them. What do you do to calm yourself down during a panic attack?
I have been having panic attacks a lot lately. I have seen a doctor and was put on some medication. When I have panic attack I seem to hyperventilate a lot. Is there a way to stop panic attacks but if not how can I stop the hyperventilation?
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.
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.
