Panic attacks im confused

[iluvmylil1]

Okay last month i went to the er because i was having  panic attack...heartbeating fast dizzy spells,lightheaded shortness of breath.They did ekg heart exray they came back fine but my blood test came back a little high on my thyroid..well last night i went back to the Er this is the 3rd time i have went in a month in a half btw...i have been feeling on edge the past few days dizzy,shortness of breath,heart racing,headaches,not wanting to eat and sleepy.When i got to the Er they did a ekg said that was fine my pulse was 120.They rechecked my blood and says my thyroid is fine and my blood looks good.Im so confused.Could this be panic attacks?I have been having dizzy spells for the past week,shortness of breath and feeling like my heart is racing.but everytime i go to the Dr they say im fine.At first they said maybe my thyroid now they said my thyroid looks good.Could be my period casing this as well the nurse said.I feel lost and confused like im stuck feeling not normal.I would think going to the er this much they would have found something but everytime they send me home.

So i have an apt with my Dr on tuesday..im sure she is going to run alot of testes on me to see why im feeling like this.How do they diagnose you having a panic disorder?Is it when all your test come back fine??Also im a little worried about meds i hate taking pills plus i dont wanna be like a zombie when taking care of my daughter.Im a stay at home mom so im with here 24/7.Its hard when im feeling like this and being alone with her...i feel like im loosing my mind :(

Also i have noticed that my sex drive is low,my head feels like its always in a fog,i feel confused and im always thinking that its something else.If the drs says panic attack i cant seem to accept that because of how bad i feel and how long it lasts.I feel awful that i cant be a good mother lately and a good wife to my husband.I just cant seem to get a grip that maybe panic attacks because of the heart beating fast,the dizziness,not wanting to eat and the feeling like my brain is in a fog.Also i get shortness of breath alot.It really feels like im going to die for i am dying.

I just never knew that a panic attack can last ALL day and for days i always thought when you get one it last 30 min or so and thats it.Its so scary because i most of the time feel like im having a heart attacks or stroke but whenever i go to the ER they send me home.Last night was awful i had to take my 2 year old with me because of how bad i felt :( I just rushed up there.Im still feeling on edge and like my heart is beating a little fast and dizzy spells.I swaer the Dr must think im crazy because of how many times i have been there..sometimes i think i am the crazy one.

Yeah it can be caused by Anxiety,my 1st panic attack began in July and ofcourse i went to the A&E dept of the hospital,all of a sudden i noticed my breathing became shallow,so i panic..i try 2 breathe more and more and a result..hyperventilation which trigger my 1st full blown panic attack..pretty scary,both my left n right fingers were totally shutted,cramped because of the over breathing.when i arrived at the A&E they gave me a paper bag to breathe in and out..few mins later i was able to breathe again,then did aterial blood gas test,ECG,chest xray all came out fine..they said its panic attack.
A month later i was still experincing this symptoms 24/7 i cant convinced myself its anxiety,so did 2 bloodtest,2 thyroid test,a lot of ecgs,chest xray all came out fine.then i told the doctor i was still worried so he then refered me to a cardiologist dept for both Echo and stress test which also came out fine.
You are not alone.i been to the A&E so many times..till most doctors and nurses knew me,lol.
If all ur test came out fine,perhaps u should work on ur anxiety,maybe made an appointment with a theraphy,CBT.
