I had a Panic Attack this morning, it felt really bad, a Panic Attack I could not explain.?
Please take the time to read and help me out. Thank you
I’m 23, 5′10, 220lbs.
I woke up really early this morning (6:30am) and i usually don’t get up that early, but then i started feeling bad and I couldn’t really remember or focus on what i was thinking at the time (that caused me to feel bad), but i was probably dwelling on whatever i was thinking. I got really thursty and drank some water.
I started to freak out and then had a panic attack, this was pretty hard core. My neck and my jaw felt really tight (like a tence feeling, It was like, i kept my jaw tenced and bit down) but during this period my head felt like it was going to expload and then i started having the shakes, like chevering. I was confused on how to explain what was happening to me towards my g’f and my mother, i just wanted to be kept calm and wanted this feeling to stop. I felt scared and thought i was going to die or something.
I made myself get up and walked around trying to keep calm, then it was slowly going away cause the shaking was stopping. Then it was like *BAM* gone, lasted not even 5min. Then i felt calm and fine.
This isnt the first time, a panic attack like this felt so bad. I had it before and was actually taken out by ambulance and they said it was a panic attack that caused my blood presure to go up then it was gone after a few min.
Last night i had a few drinks (alcohol) and just went to bed, and i know this wasnt any normal hangover lol. I hope you guys understand what happed and if this is a normal panic attack, cause if so im going to do something about these panic attacks cause i’ve ever had them before in my life, and they just started on my 3 years ago, and i will be 24 in Aug. 2009. I was on Prozac, then paxil then lexipro but all made me feel worse or mean, so i quit taken them, then my Dr. gave me Vistiral and i only take those when im really stressed and feel like i could have a panic attack coming. but after doing a "what did vistiral do for you" and "Side Effects of Vistiral" search, im done with that, i think i need normal excersize and good food diet.
I have suffered from severe anxiety and panic attacks since I was in first grade. I am 22 now. It is not a normal thing to have. I take Buspar to help curb the anxiety, and the only side effect I had when I first started was a little dizziness when I stood up. I also take Ativan as needed, which is a quick acting anti-anxiety medicine. It’s heavy duty. You are not alone. I understand. Hang in there and talk to your doctor.
When I panic, I do not want to be alone, but at the same time, I don’t want anybody near me. It doesn’t make much sense to anyone around me.

Hey,
Look your not alone in this at all, usual anxiety, panic or hypervantelating is caused by some thought that kinda stresses you out or you over think, i also had a really bad panic attack which sent me to the hospital and then after mulitple tests they said i had a panic attack that then led to hyperventilation, and trust me its the worst bloddy feeling ever and when your alone having them and your scared to tell you family or friends because you yourself wonders what is going on SUCKS.
You should go buy the book ANXIETY AND PHOBIA WORKBOOK the 6th edition it has helped me tremendously, i have my own little program i work threw when i experience my anxiety, i dont like meds and most of them are bad for you and make things worse………EXCERCISE AND DIET ARE A HUGE thing also, its also good to keep a journal as dumb as that may sound it helps you get out the thoughts that may lead you to panic…..Anyways i thought id try and make you feel bit better cuz your not alone, there are millions of others with the same issues…..
