anxiety attack??????????????????????????????
I am 12, and 3 weeks ago I had what you call a "panic attack"
I started having shortness of breath, chest pain on/off, abit of numbness in toes/fingers, worrying over nothing like traeling on a plane, spending a long time out of the house.
Is this for sure anxiety ?
I weighed 69 kilos, 5 feet tall, when have the anxiety attack, now I weigh 65.
I feel abit healed since the shortness of breath isn’t so hard to cope with, like I take a deep breath, then I breathe normally, not much chest pain, and I haven’t had a panic attack in a while.
I have only had 3 panic attacks since those 3 weeks, I started eating healthy, and losing weight already.
what are other natural remedies ?
also, is there any chance I have heart disease ?
if you have anxiety, and your overweight is there a chance of heart disease, and diabetes ?
or am I fine, is it JUST anxiety ?
help !
I would say continue your weight loss plan, and before you go on any medication regimen see if you can be referred to a therapist who can work with you on "cognitive behavioral therapy."
If you were to start a medicaiton, they can cause side affects that would make it confusing if your symptoms are coming from anxiety or the medication. Cognitive behavioral therapy is really effective for me, medicine did nothing.
However, sometimes it’s not clear if it is just anxiety. I say if you’re only experiencing the episodes as clear defined "panic" episodes, then it’s pretty sure panic and anxiety. If you have or develop other symptoms, go back to your doctor–and if your doctor does not answer your questions then find another one. Doctors are hired by the patients… you’re the client, their job is to serve you to your satisfaction.
You’re very young to have heart disease, but I don’t know your diet or health history. This is something to continue following up on with your doctor.

More than likely it is just anxiety. That stuff can really mess with you. I used to have it quiet often. I eventually got it under control. At one point the doctor gave me Xanax. It really helps a lot but makes you feel like crap. The way I over came it was with classical music and speaking my mind (not holding nothing in). Exercise, especially cardio, is known to help, witch I am also doing. I have not had a single attack in 4 years. I hope this helps.
P.S. the doctor my recommend anti-depressants. I would read up on that stuff before making that decision. I wouldn’t take them.

I was diagnosed with anxiety when I was having other symptoms, generalized…
But am following the treatment for anxiety and can tell you what has worked for me, but everyone will be different in terms of treatment.

you probably have an inbalance somwhere. Anxiety is not what you’re describing. I’d be nervous traveling on a plane too, but really i wake up nurvous and go to sleep nervous all day everyday.
