I've been going through this for weeks....such bad panic attacks that I couldn't eat....you know what that means....nothing to shake on the beaches in Mexico---no in all seriousness.....it came way after the physical for me...go over and read under Faithful's most recent post.....it's the second to the last thing I posted there.....I've felt so sixk to my stomach I've almost vomited, haven't though....I did have chest pains too-I never brought it up to the doctor?! though, but they've gone away-they were frightening, I just wrote em off as withdrawls.....who knows though. Do check it out. I have bought several relaxation cd's.....haven't had time to listen to them, but plan to as soon as I'm done with my job in 2 weeks! but I totally understand. SOunds like we all understand here....chi chi, jaqcui, worried, cath, persnick.....at least you have that comfort of understanding....god, at least I do to-thanks for posting this dear.
If you are having these often then going to see the doctor is a good thing, Maybe they can help you get through this hard time. There are things that can help when used the right way and not abused, used every day or long amount of time.
I feel like I am *****.....but I did call the Doctors Exchange...not sure if you have that or not but its where you can call and to to the Dr. who is on call for your reg. Doc and my regular Dr. was on call and she said that she thinks too its an anxiety or panick attack and I have to see her in the morning. YUCK!!!!!
I had a couple of panic attacks in my 20s...I would feel all hot...especially my ears and they would turn beat red...I would zone out...like everything was far away...I was in a job interview when it happened the first time...I just sat there and it went away...then I got paranoid about it happening again and it made it worse.....they passed...i dated a guy tho and after his mom died he went to the er with several chest pain attacks...often it is situational and will pass...but do let your doc know about it
It really sounds like you are having panic attacks. I went through many the first few months and they are scary. It may be some of the PAWS setting in. I can remember one night for sure I had a panic attack. I could not stop crying and just had awful thoughts running through my mind. It is like your brain is working really fast and your heart is beating so fast and you feel so depressed you just can't stand it. Thank goodness they have gone away and stayed away. I agree with jacqui too they would always hit me at night. You feel like you are out of control. Just hang in there it will pass. And on Idol I love David and Carly:-)
I hear ya. It hurts like hell though.
