Panic attacks fear of death

[Butterfly1992]

Hello my name is brighid ,I'm only 22 years old
I have been on meds since I was 7 ,I've alway had anxitey
But never like this . Fear of death is so scary to  me I feel like I'm
Losing control. My dr put me on Christie and ever since then everything seemed okay but then I started to have night sweats ,nightmares ,major migraines and I was also peeing a lot and I felt so weird and not myself. The headaches were on and off but I can say it has help me and somewhat not obsess of a fear about dying. But then again they were still there and I wasn't being myself and had major migraines I just stopped Pristiq and I haven't had any migraines I am Lamtical hundred milligrams and Xanax a milligram 1.25. Panic Attacks are so scary it feels like you're dying to feel like you're losing control and it feels like you're not in reality. I just want out I want to be myself again I don't want to sit around worrying about death! I have extreme anxiety and also ever since my friend passed away that's when I started to become very obsessive with death . I remember one time I was sleeping and I woke up I don't know where my heart was pounding so bad because I was fearing of death and I woke up so exhausted and felt like crapt and I thought I was going crazy I thought I was having a heart attack!!!!!! It feels so real but at the same time is just inside your head . Start IOP next Friday for trauma and Panic Attacks for therapy .so I hope that can help me I need to be around more people. My boyfriend is very very supportive of what's going on but I just feel so annoying I just want to go out and have fun and enjoy myself. The Xanax does help I can say with Panic Attacks but sometimes it can take a long to get inside my system because I have a tolerance. If someone could please help me and let me know if you have been in the same situation as me or if you are going through the same situation as me please fill me in with your info and feedback it would really help I feel alone.

I know someone who had extreme anxiety and fear of death due to medical problems and several very scary, unexplained symptoms/events that seemed like they could be life threatening at the time. This person wasn't anxious before. A few months after these symptoms/events started, he started getting flashbacks and would freak out every time something would remind him of this. He would think he was experiencing these scary symptoms again, even when he wasn't. At some point these scary symptoms/events went away. It took some time for the anxiety to go away, but now he's less anxious. I think he worked on his anxiety with a therapist or a trauma specialist or something at some point. Have you tried working with a specialist to see what could be causing your anxiety? Has anything specific triggered your elevated anxiety?
