Can I really die?

[amy2007]

I'm so nervous..... Can anyone help?


I have been put under general anesthesia once when I was 17 getting my tonsils removed and I had gotten hives but never thought twice about it, then later when I was 20 during labor I had to get an emergency C-Section and had a full blown panic attack when they started.  I honestly felt like I was going to die. I was shaking and crying and my sight was like tunnel vision. I was so morified I consider not having anymore children, which is my biggest dreams!

Well, I have to have surgery for my teeth and have to be put under again. But, I am so scared that the thought of it makes me cry and shake with fear. My heart rate rises and I am just so scared. What can I do? Could I have a heart attack or anything under this mental pressure during the procedure? I'm only 21 years old.

Dont be scared i know a bunch of weird things are happen to your body but dont be scared my body shakes like im nervous i get hot flashes and tingling on my head i even wake up shaking sometimes i even get a shake on my butt cheek which is weird but i laugh and turn over and go back to sleep dont be scared though remember your brain is powerful when u think something your body does weird things sometimes. ive had these things since i was 16 when it would happen in front of friends i would just say im special or i have issues but its all good i know it might be hard to do sometimes but try doing something u enjoy to get your mind off of your worry watch a funny movie try not to worry to much take it easy and dont look up things on the internet thinking u have something when u dont u r fine

try and relax hun you will be fine.  I know what you are going threw.  When you have had a bad experience or a panic attack you automatically think that if the same situation you will have another panic attack and the sad thing about it is that you problably will because you associate that situation with panic and this starts the humiliating and terrifying cycle of anxiety,  try this realize that it is only anxiety and that it can not hurt you. you are not going to die you are not going to have a heart attack.  Just tell yourself to bring it on.

your heart is strong and your young and anxiety cant NOT heart your heart. espcially at your age. anxiety WILL NOT hurt you. all the physical symptoms you have you NORMAL and it will be okey. just try and relaxed you'll be fine : )
