PANiC ATTACKS?
Byi have HORRIBLE Panic Attacks…but i am getting better=)
when u experience one..what are the dominant symptoms that you experience?
I have suffered from panic attacks for 5 years….when they first started I would get dizzy, every negative thing I could think of would race through my head, I would get cold but be sweating, my heart would race, I would shake, and my chest would hurt….after years of living with it, I got sick of them and did alot of research and realized that they can’t hurt me….the best way to overcome them is to understand what they are and that they won’t hurt you. after you realize this, when you start to feel them coming on you will be able to ignore them and eventually your brain will become accustomed to this and they will pass within seconds with no problem….good luck and God bless you….

Tight chest like I have a ball of sadness inside, stomach pain that turn into bowel problems, my head is spinning, I can’t stop thinking and obsessing over the same thing over and over again… its tiring, sad and then I would crash and sleep for a while or just live with it and move on.
I had some pretty bad attacks for a while, did some self help programs, therapy, changed my life habits (more exercise, less sugar), and went on anti-anxiety meds after a while of trying without meds… I haven’t had any in three years I think. I think its the combination of everything that helped and not giving up.
Good luck!

when I get a panic attack my symptoms are, tight and uncomfortable chest, tightness in my thoat, dizziness, and constant worrying thoughts like im dying or something, shaky like im freezing, and dry mouth. Panic attacks really do suck but just remember..they can never hurt you. All they are is ur brain sending adrenaline into ur system and ur body takes a fight or flight approach. The main thing to remmeber is to RELAX. Feeding ur panic attack with with panicking thoughts feeds them even more.

I had one the other night — just because of the stress of everything that has come down on us just now.
Tight chest, massive headache, difficulty breathing. I had to take some of my heat nitroglycerin pills to ease my chest… so that meant I was shaky and had a worse headache.
Feel Better!
