Panic Attack



I have been to the E.R about 6 times in that last few years for what I can only explain as the sensation as if someone took a stun gun and pushed it to my heart and the electric waves went from my chest to the top of my head within seconds. Scared me and my heart started racing and then my hands got all sweaty and my muscles started hurting in my back. I was sure I am having a heart attack. I went to the E.R they at one point was thinking about stopping my heart then restarting it being it was racing so fast, then they ended up giving me an I.V and injecting something to slow the rate down. I had an E.K.G nothing showed up, I had a C.A.T Scan, was also given high blood pressure medicines every time I went to the E.R cause my blood pressure was 190/105 around those rates each time.  they seemed to be more conserned over my blood pressure then my so called heart attack. They ran the normal blood work, all came out fine. So bottom line is I know have went to a regular Dr. and she had me take more bloodwork and has put me on xanax and linsporol or however it is spelled, it is a blood pressure med. I have not got the results in yet for my blood work until the 12th.

I just feel as if they are not checking enough about me to make sure it is Anxiety and Panic disorders. I am sick in tired of being sick and tired! I use to be outgoing and full of life, now ever since this has happend I feel as if everything I have done in the past no longer matters because whatever this is has robbed me of my future!

I have had similiar experiences. I get horrible and sudden flutters almost as if my heart stopped beating for a quick second and then jumps back to life by beating fast like as if its gonna come up through my throat. Then my head feels like someone smacked me in the head and I see white....almost can't breathe at that point...the sweaty hands, unsteadiness in your step almost blacking out- I've experienced all of that. I am healthy. I just took all the tests needed and there is absolutely nothing wrong. Even walked around with the heart monitor for 24 hours...I felt like my life was over at one point...always in fear of another attack. The best thing I can tell you while you wait for your results, try to do things that take your mind away..that make you happy. When your tests come back okay and if you should experience another attack, try to remind yourself as you go through it that you are ok. That it will pass. This has worked for me. Hope it helps. Good luck
