question for people suffering from panic attacks and/or Anxiety Disorders?
OK i need some help..
It all started one night when my wisdom teeth were hurting so bad I thought I was about to die. I went into this fuzy state where I thought I was going to throw up and pass out, but I never did that whole night. So the next day I went to the ER and they said I was dehydrated, hooked me up to an IV, and I started to feel faint and freaking out and wanted to leave. After finishing the IV they wanted to put another bag into me, but I left and then the rest of the night and weekend I was a little floaty, nauseaus, and stayed in my room. I couldnt eat really either. I got my teeth out and then I was fine. Then I got married later that week, and then after the wedding felt really fuzzy and thought I was going to pass out again. I kept drinking lots of water and gateraide but I felt shitty for about a week, all like on edge and what not. That finally left me but then the other night I started feeling that way again. Now I am just on edge, about to cry
to cry at anything, feel nauseus (spelling sorry) like 24/7 and especcially in the morning. my throat feels swollen at times, and I feel floaty/like Im out of my body at times. ITs worse at night when I lie down and my mind starts going places.
what I wondered was is this sounding like GAD or PAnic Attacks? Im freaking out that I have this disease or this condition whenever something hurts (like a kidney stone when my back hurts by my kidney, or cancer) and I know im fine. I just get overwhelmed and there really is no stresser in my life at the moment. I have an appointment with a counciler Monday but Im freaking out today cause I though I was getting better but I had a bad day today. Anyone care to help or share their thoughts and experiences.
Well Im glad to hear its just anxiety (not that having anxiety is a walk in the park, but better then all my other fears of death causing infections and all that).
I just dont understand about the stress, I am usually the calm one, never stressing about anything, exams, or what not. Im a senior in college and been through plenty of stressfull times and never have I felt this way before. But I do suffer from depression, and have been off my meds for a while now (was taking effexor on and off)
Just so you know I am seeing someome this week, when my insurance kicks in, but am just looking for help and information 
Well, you have just been through two out the top ten things that can cause major stress in a very short time period. Surgery, in your case oral surgery to have teeth pulled, and getting married. It is not unusual to feel the anxiety you are experiencing.
There are several things you can do to lower your stress level including eating a balanced diet, daily exercise, and meditation.
You should consult your primary care or internal medicine doctor. He or she can prescribe anti-anxiety medication and refer you to a counselor or therapist who can help you.

Hi. I have been suffering from an anxiety/panic disorder since I was about five years old. I am now thirty, and still have to fight it daily. Everything you described hits a perfect T. It sounds exactly like what I have. I have taken every medication on the market, and the one that finally did away with the panic attacks, yet still left me capable of daily life and thought was Lexapro, 10mg. I would seek medical attention, and encourage you to not be afraid or uneasy about it. It’s a very common condition, and one that can be treated relatively easily, and with positive counseling/therapy can be kept at bay. Good luck, don’t freak out, it’s ok, you’re ok, and your counselor will tell you the same. God bless! Angela

Not sure if this is for you, cause I’m not suffering from anything but my terrible backache, but worth a look anyway, I guess.
My sister in law, living in Australia, suffered from anxiety and panic attacks like you for years and tried I don’t know how many treatments and cures, in vain. Now she has no idea how to use a computer, always afraid to ruin something and cause a crash. So I started some researches for her and downloaded many different ebooks and stuff (lots of crap), not really expecting to find any reasonable enlightenments, but surprise, surprise …
There is one guy with so many astounding testimonials for his product, that I had a closer look at his stuff. Well, after reading all the testimonials and positive reviews on google I sent the link to my brother and he bought it.
Last week I received a postcard from Mauritius from my brother and his wife. Unbelievable, my sister in law in an airplane, not by force, without tranquilizers and stuff!
Maybe this will help you too:

I used to have severe panic attacks in crowded places. I couldn’t eat in restaurants or go anywhere where there were crowds. I went to the doctor and was given medication for it. Now, as long as I’m on my medication, I never get panic attacks. Please see a doctor and you will be glad that you did.
