Hey, breathe.

This is not a likely scenario.

Don't drive, don't swim or hang out in standing water, and seizures aren't often an emergency.

Try the meditation pod-casts from iTunes. They're free and have helped me a lot!

Hey hello again,

I think i already told you but i will repeat myself since you insist on the fact that you have no money for the meds and talk therapy and you must know the natural solution but almost must that it takes effort and time compared to taking the pills and seeing the therapist.

That being said i will tell you a story, it's calming to hear a story hehe. It's the story of a young girl living in the year 1800. She spent her day helping her mother and father with the home work and with the farm. She was an active girl and there was no T.V at the so people we're spending there time being active. Each day she would eat a fresh diner her mom prepared from the biological products the family produced. She was physical fit and mentally perfect (no illness).

One day the girl walk thru a time machine and she finds herself entering the year 2009. After 3 years being inactive because she was learning how to use a computer since it was new to her and everyone was using them. So she wasn't moving anymore and eating fast food since it's was fast and you could get full for a low price.

So after 3 years she became to feel sick, physically and mentally, she was seeing all sort of things on the internet that she would have never imagined in the world where she was coming from. She started having panic attack and being very anxious.

Then one day she realized something. She decided to live like if she was in the years she was coming from and start being more active and eat good food and stop looking crazy stuff on the internet.

She continued to use the computer but she restricted herself in a way that each day she would go for some jogging, walk a lot, maybe go to the gym and she decided to visit the bio food supplements store where they sell good biological product with no bad products for better concervation and everything.

Guess what, she began feeling better and cured herself.

End

The moral of my story is simple, back in days people were eating well they were moving. Now our modern lifestyle is killing us and cancer rates is reaching a high level and affecting more younger people than before. Products you find at the grocery are full of pesticides and conservation agents, mental illness are more and more diagnosed. It's just not ''i was born like this what can i do''. In some rare case it will be ok to have this thought (congenital disease or some other form of illness). But in most of the time it's a lifestyle induced diseased (like most cancers and heart disease).

You know what will be not expansive and is a good treatment? Physical activity and healthy diet. It's so simple but people overestimate themselves. This takes time and patience and high motivation but it's not expansive and you can at least try. Some people think it is ridiculous and medications are the way to go but medications will only mask your symptoms of anxiety and they don't cure the root cause who is a lifestyle cause. Engage in physical activity, try relaxation techniques, eat better. Basically reduce your stress to a minimum and if you want more info on the hormones you produce by doing physical activity just ask me or google it. Want information on what kind of foods are good and what are the benefits of certain kind of food and what are the anxiety reducing food? Ask me i will help on that too.

We were born on earth, we made our way by moving, we have the same 22 minerals in our body than those of earth (calcium in your bones, iron in your blood). I think we should use the human machine the way it was made to be used untill we can implant our mind into computer hehe...

Best of luck and don't hesitate to come back to me for more information.

Hi there MayMay. I am just curious, but do they know what is causing the seizures that you are having? Also, another question here, but do you drink diet soda type products? Aspartame, an artificial sweetener used in many types of sugar-free or low sugar products can cause seizures. It's in thousands of food products, even something as simple as sugar-free gum. M4YOU has some really good points here I think too. Well, that's what I was thinking of when I saw your questions here.

[MayMayMeemers]

Care_berry:
IM NOT HAVING A SEIZURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL, no, no, no, no! I was TOLD by someone who stated they have panic attacks AND seizures. I don't have them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the thought triggered a panic attack. and btw, my brother's nickname as a kid was carebear. xD thought that was funny sorta.

abitodd: I am trying to calm down but it is like, one thing ends and another fear appears. someone on here said they have panic attacks and seizures. something you don't tell another person who is obviously paniced already. not their fault tho so can't blame em' but geeezzzzzzz! come on, remember some of us are easily set off bu health issues here.



M4Y0U: Hello there M4YOU, I am starting to think the internet search engine isn't my friend. too many things on here can freak someone out hella bad!!! and noticed that 99.9% of answers about medical are WRONG and I should really stop asking NONE dr's if I am alright or not or hear things I don't care to hear....like seizures caused by panic attacks which I never heard of. I have heard of stomach issues and high blood pressure but never anything as scary as that!!  I noticed aswell, that over the weekend I was restricted from the computer for 3 days and the panic attacks slowly withered away but as soon as I used it tuesday and today I started my personal RESEARCH on info again and pretty much triggered my panic attack earlier. I have been getting out alittle each day but it is a slow process, I also eat well and sleep well. erm, tonight maybe my insomnia night because of fear of dying. >..<

[care_berry]

Whoops, my mistake lol. I am glad you don't have seizures! It looked like by the way it was written that you were suffering from them.

[MayMayMeemers]

haha, yeah. sorry too. I was in a paniced state when i was writing that so forgive me about that. No, someone on here told me they have panic attacks and seizures which I never heard of before. I have had panic attacks off and on since I was 10, I am 23 now so I am  confused as why panic attack symptoms don't include that info if it is real. I always imagined that you would get em if you had something wrong with your nervs or brain ect. I thought it was an illness not something that just pops up randomely. know what I mean? I try not to listen to people or info online anyways cause 99.8 or .9% of the time the answers are wrong. >.<

[r9c]

I don think panic attack can cause seizure,the worst is the out of body experience,unreality feeling which is from high level of Anxiety,and it comes and go,i experienced it so many times..and it was so scary,but its harmless..and panic attack is a part of fight and fight response...how can u get seizure from that ? unless ur on some werid drugs etc..
ur brain wont freeze when u see a tiger..instead it fires it up..making to to fight it or flee.
hope it helps

[nursegirl6572]

PLease read my reply to you on your other thread.  For now...to ease your mind...A PANIC ATTACK OR ANXIETY CANNOT CAUSE A SEIZURE!!!!

[jakegorzen]

Stop looking up symptoms, and investigating.
Learn to accept that if something happens, it happens, People everyday have seizures and live from it, same with heart attack, stroke..etc..etc..

And nursegirls right...you cant seizer from a panic attack...at most youll just pass out from hyperventalating, and your blood pressure rising

[nursegirl6572]

Fainting from a panic attack is also pretty much unheard of.  I know that some people say that they have...but in those cases, something else may have been going on.

It's comon to feel as though one will pass out, but it doesn't actually happen.  Our bodies have an amazing ability self-preserve, therefore the most that happen with a panic attack is just very uncomfortable sensations.

[Angeleyes1015]

Ok you were told that panic attacks can cause seizures...Is that right? That's not true. I have Silent Sizures and have all my life. I've never had nor heard of anyone who has had a panic attack cause a seizure; though I have had a seizure send me into a panic attack afterward.Panic Attacks in themselves are like a bully on a playground they make life uncomfortable until you take control and back it down. Rest assurred you will not die from having a panic attack it just likes to make you feel like you will, but no one ever has.

[MayMayMeemers]

Yeah, and thank you for the answer!! =) it really helps angeleyes1015

and i have heard of Blackouts nursegirl6572 but never fainting. I think we can cause ourselves to think we did though. Iam seriously wondering if the panic attacks are hormonal because i had a MC on october 23rd. my panics didnt truely start till then

[bubbles251]

[thegreatcait]

you're fine! it's okay. i'm almost positive it's not possible to have a seizure from anxiety. my anxiety has been off the charts lately and me and my mom did an awful lot of googling. it's basically like there's a little anxiety lightswitch in your brain, and normal people have theirs off unless the appropriate situation calls for it to be turned on, but for people with anxiety disorders like us the switch is just on all the time. our bodies basically lie to us and randomly start throwing out anxious feelings whenever it feels like it. i'm broke and i don't have money for treatment either, but i've figured some things out that might help you too so just get back to me if you want to talk :) AND RELAX! you aren't going to have a seizure. just keep in mind that your body is lying and anxiety makes crazy things happen to you that seem like they could be serious problems. my entire body was going numb on a daily basis at one point. it's terrible!
