My Panic Attack Solution

I am really sorry this is long, but please read, I really need help:

I am 17 year old female and on New Years Eve 8 nights ago my boyfriend and I were sitting on the couch and I completely zoned out, he couldn’t get me to respond for minutes so he kept pinching my cheeks and smacking my face I wouldn’t respond. (I know this because he told me). Well after that I started breathing really really heavily, and breathing got worse and worse, he then had to get my parents and it pertained to get worse. My entire body was shaking and I couldn’t talk or walk, my vision was blurry, I was really hot then cold. So, my dad called the squad (911) and they came and gave me a EKG and my heart beat was at 120 and its suppose to be at 95 to 100. Well, they got me to calm down and I didn’t have to go to the emergency room. The squad who came to my house said it was a panic attack, my mom,dad, boyfriend and myself don’t believe it is a panic attack.

Well, after they left, I feel asleep and don’t really remember much till I woke up the next day in my bed. The next day I couldn’t get out of my bed at all. My heart has heart ever since then and then sometimes it feels like its beating really slow then other times it feels like its beating really fast, but I have a hard time breathing. Well I wasn’t able to walk for 6 days without help.

Well 4 days ago around 8:00 at night, it was really bad so my parents did take me to the emergency room with my boyfriend he was there, because I couldn’t walk and my heart was hurting every since New Year’s eve. So, I got to the hospital and put me in a wheel chair and they gave me an IV, drew my blood twice, had to give a urine sample, a cat scan and a chest x-ray everything came back normal. The doctor prescribed me vicoden and valium and did nothing for me besides make me tired and it was only 5 MG, it didn’t help with heart pain or leg pain, my arms also hurt too. It killed me to move them. Well they found nothing wrong so they sent me home.

Well, they wanted me to get a MRI of my brain to see if it was neurological, well I had my MRI this morning of my brain and it came back normal.

My heart has been hurting ever since New Year’s Eve, I am scard to be alone at night time, because that is when it gets worse. And, i zone out and wont respond or come back for awhile, it feels like I am dying, when I pass out. Then when I come back from passing out I have a very hard time breathing.

I am now able to walk, but it still kills me. My pain for my heart out of a 10 is like a 40 and it is really hard to breathe. As the day progresses it get worse. I don’t really do a lot so I know it can’t be stress on the heart, I am a little overweight but nothing serious.

My parents are giving up on me because they don’t believe nothing is wrong because the doctors can’t find anything. It doesn’t help that my parents are almost 60 years old. My dad just had major heart surgery last Monday and has blocked arteries in his legs. I have been some what stressed but stress shouldn’t cause my heart to constantly hurt. I am afraid to fall asleep at night time because I am scard of not waking up.

My boyfriend can’t really help me a lot since he lives 30 minutes away and he is a college student and has college Mon,Wed,Fri and works Tues,Thurs, and Fri.

It seems like my parents have given up because the doctors can’t find anything wrong, but my boyfriend and I are very worried and concerned.

Thank you so much for the people who read this and gave me there input. I am really scared and I do not want to die, I feel like I am gonna die everynight, it is unbearable at night time and my dad can’t take it no more sitting beside me at 12:00 midnight or later cause my heart hurts.
He is really old and has to get up at 6:00 in the morning for work sometimes earlier and my mom has sleeping problems so she can’t sit beside my bed at night time and my boyfriend can’t do it because of college and work.

I am only a 16 year old guy, and I’m not a doctor. But it does sound like you are having panic attacks, but they are extreme, or it sounds like serious side effects to a medication. It doesn’t make sense why it would happen on a nightly basis and progress as the day went on. Did you take any medication that day before you had this sudden onset of these feelings? Did you not eat or drink at all before it happend? Did you do anything different than you normally do before this happend? I take it that you weren’t drunk. Do you have food allergies, maybe you ate something that could’ve caused a severe allergic reaction, if you tried something new? I would say that the problems with walking had to do with your heart. I have ADD so I take Vyvanse, 70mg. One time, I took one and went upstairs to get ready for school. I came back downstairs, and didn’t remember if I had taken my medication, so I took another 50 mg of vyvanse. I had something similar happen to me. Heart pains, fast heartrate. Fatigue and trouble standing and extreme tiredness when I tried to walk. Muscle pains, and I felt hypersexual. Just try and remember if you did anything different than you usually do on the night that this happen. Especially if you started taking a new medication prior to this incident. Even a week or two before. Again I’m no doctor, but if the doctors did all of those tests, and found nothing wrong, you could be pretty close to sure that your not going to die. And you keep surviving these feelings over and over again. Maybe try seeing a different doctor. I hope I could be of some help, and I hope that you get this resolved. =) And DONT Google your symptoms. I do that, and it makes me even more nervous. Stress is the last thing you wan’t to add to your thoughts right now. It will just make you think you have some rare disease because you have some symptoms. Your NOT a hypercondriac. Just because you are scared for your health after something traumatic happens like this doesn’t make you a health paranoiac.
