update on how I feel today

by MayMayMeemers, Nov 04, 2009 11:13PM
well, yesterday and today  I have fought the panic attack feeling by immediatly shifting into something to keep my mind busy. Had a few symptoms today like the fluttering in the chest that causes me to cough, chest pain and that is it. I am really trying to see if this is just panic attacks. Hell, I even got bored and did a stress test online

my results were:  377 this is what it says

300 and above  Very high stress

Sustained or accute stress plays a major role in the development of serious illness, as well as in the development of stress, anxiety, and sleep disorders. If you have scored in this range, it’s highly recommended that you take immediate action to reduce your stress to prevent the development of serious illness or any of these conditions.

Yes, there will be times when circumstances cause higher than normal levels of stress, but learning healthy stress management strategies can help to reduce the overall negative effects of sustained or accute stress. The information in the member’s area of this web site would be very helpful to you, in this regard.

NOTE: Studies have shown that people with sustained stress in this range have an 80% chance of developing a serious illness within two years.




WOW!!! havent felt like this until now so i am really, really working on calming myself down.

Just remember that we will definitely have our ups and downs when dealing with anxiety.  I find it important not to be too hard on yourself when you have a bad day; because we all do.  In fact, give yourself credit for confronting this.  It takes a lot of courage, dedication, and patience to deal with this in my opinion.  Keep us posted!

you state you are wondering why PA coming around the same time, most of us have issues to deal with as our bodies are seeing DANGER when there really is none, our body preparing us for the Fight or flight.
Now your body is reacting to the time that you aprox. had the last panic attack, so remind yourself, just because I had a PA at 2pm (yesterday) does not mean I will have one today at 2pm, stay away from a clock and T.V. you will be surprised how that time will come and go with no PA. just the same as people who get a PA in a store and never want to go to a store again, because the body has expierenced at PA and associated that with danger! hang in there it will pass! my thoughts are with you!

p.s. I have not had a major PA in 10 months, some close calls, but my last one that was really close to PA was when we went to Vegas for my B-day, I worked out why my body was sensing danger and had a good time the day I was there, before we flew back to San DIego.

VERY GOOD POINT! =) I notice when I am busy the attacks are gone. I just need to remind myself they are panics and nothing more.
