I would like to know whether Ayurveda has any remewdy for panic attack. I shall be thankful for the name of the formulation and the manufacturer.

My anxiety attacks started around when I was 7 or 8 and they just seem to keep getting more severe as I get older. I’m 20 now and I’m having the hardest anxiety and panic attacks that I’ve encountered so far. They started to get worse after I found out my boyfriend of 5 years had an affair while I was pregnant. I was not happy with the idea of having an abortion, but he reassured me that this was what we needed for our future and wedding we were planning. Because I felt so iffy about the whole situation my anxiety started increasing, which created conflict in our relationship. It’s something that I couldn’t, no matter how hard I tried, control. I found out the day of our abortion that he was cheating and since then, I’ve had at least one panic attack (sometimes 2) in one day. It’s been a month and I cannot handle it. I break down in tears randomly throughout the day. The panic attacks leave me catching for air and my body isn’t in my control when I’m experiencing an attack. My daily routine and life has been completely altered and there’s not a moment that an irrational thought isn’t running through my mind. It’s making me anti-social and cut off from the world. How can I take care of this? Is there any medication that treats severe anxiety well? I know that there are some anti-depressants that can actually make you more anxious and irritated, so I just wanted to hear some of your advice on this.

-Thanks.

I suffer from a panic disorder and I absolutely cannot drive on or near the interstate without having the worst panic attack ever. Just curious if anyone else has suffered or is suffering from this and how are you or did you deal with it?

I have a panic attack about maybe once or two times a month and after like 2 months of a regular period it will get really really late like miss a whole month. My last period was actually just gross and clotted (maybe tmi).

I realize that I’m 16 and I’m going to have typical loneliness feelings and stuff but it’s just gotten to be so horrible it’s pathetic. Help?
I forgot to add that I’m almost ALWAYS tired or out of energy.

I wouldn’t really consider myself depressed either.

I have depersonalization, and get really bad panic attacks where i start to think that nothing is real. What are some things I can do to calm down? During a panic attack or throughout the day.

They think it’s an act for attention, when it’s not. I know I have them, & when I fall out & faint, they yell at me, telling me to get up. They did that to this other young lady who had just had a baby, & her baby got taken away, so she had a panic attack. How serious are panic attacks? Are they REALLY serious health-wise? Why don’t people take them seriously. If I have an anxiety headache, people call me a delusional hypochondriac & say it’s all in my mind when it’s not.

My younger sister, who has never flown in an airplane in her life, is coming to visit me in Italy over the summer. She is very excited, but also very nervous about the trip, because she will be travelling on an airplane for the first time ever, she will be alone, and she sometimes has anxiety attacks or panic attacks in situations like that. She is 22 years old and she has seen her doctor about medication, etc. I’m just looking for any tips for how to make the trip as stress-free as possible for her.

Also, should she inform cabin crew on the plane about her situation, in case she does have a panic attack? And if so, how should she go about doing that? She is worried that cabin crew might over-react and think she is a threat or very ill or something, which could cause chaos on the airplane. Has anyone out there ever dealt with this kind of thing before? Is it ok to give a stewardess a note about such a condition?

I have recently begun treatment with a new psychiatrist for depression and anxiety. I’ve been on wellbutrin for years but quit when i got pregnant. i ended up having a miscarriage and was feeling alright until around 5-6 months later. My old psychiatrist retired ( who i hadn’t seen in years) so i’ve started with a new one. We resumed the wellbutrin and short term treatment with xanax since i had used it previously with my other doctor for a few months. What i didn’t realize was the start dose he put me on was very low. .25-.5 mg three times a day. This hadn"t been effective when i last used it so i ended up taking one extra pill daily. ( at night for sleep problems). well i ran out obviosly early and tried to call in the refill thinking there wouldn’t be a problem only asking for half the prescription because i had a upcoming check up with her. The pharmacist refused and it was over the week-end. I had a full blown panic attack. this scares me. I called the doctor on call and felt like an idiot but explained exactly what i’d been taking. I will call monday but I’m concerned that the reaction I had means I addicted even though it’s only been 2 weeks on the meds. Any advice? I am scared and am still experiencing a hard time breathing. Please, what would you do?

Just a heads up, i do not want answers that say "i dont know" "thanks for the 2 points" OR "ask a doctor". I will ask one later, but this was a random question that poped into my head, and thought i’d ask on here, just to see if anyone knows the answer. just a warning, i will report anyone who doesnt give a real answer.

My question is… Does anybody know if there is any type of [legal] drug out there, that can be taken only minutes before a panic attack, and prevent it? I dont like taking medication daily, so really, I’m just curious if there is anything out there, that can be taken "as needed", yet still be effective in a short amount of time. like… i feel one coming on, i pop a pill down, and then im good to go… lol.
Basically, similiar to how people with asthma, have an inhaler. is there anything related to that for panic attacks?
Thanks in advance for all ur help.

been having anxiety attack/ panic attack like symptom and migrane only when I am trying to fall asleep..or sometimes middle of my sleep.

I visited a doctor. The acupuncturist told me that my lung is like narrow.. that’s why it makes me difficult to like breathe or something, causing the symptoms of attacks when I am laying down..

what causes it? how can I be cured? are there vitamins? or minerals?

I was looking through the web and it looks like some of the options are Conquering Stress, Panic Portal and the Linden Review. I was wondering if anyone could recommend any of these or other ones, and tell me about them. I have panic attacks and social anxiety disorder. I am overcoming the social anxiety disorder but the panic attacks seem to be increasing and becoming more severe. I have tried traditional therapy, which helped a little. I do not want to take prescription medications. I have tried a few and they just made me worse. In addition, if anyone has any tips on self-help for the onset/managment during a panic attack. Thanks!

I know it’s a panic attack because my heart starts beating fast, my hands get sweaty, and I feel like I’m going to vomit. The attacks usually last about 10 minutes but I feel so helpless during those minutes and I just want to get rid of them!!

Hi i’m Bella and i’m a 13 year old girl.
basically i’ve had 6 anxiety/panic attacks over the last 8/9 days. but yesterday and today i’ve been feeling lightheaded almost all the time and i keep getting dizzy spells and feeling sick (like travel sickness, but i’m not travelling).
What does this sound like? i told my mum about the anxiety attacks last night.. but now i am feeling really lightheaded and sick aswell.
What does this sound like?
please help!
Bellaaa-xxx
And I feel a little tired, even though I had about 9-10 hours sleep… xxx
Also the bridge of my nose feels like numb and slightly buzzing and my legs feel light like I can’t control them, but I can walk just not in a perfectly straight line. xxx
I haven’t had an anxiety attack since yesterday. They start for no reason, and I am not stressed about anything (it’s the holidays) which is why i’m confused… i’ve been lightheaded and feeling sick since my last one which is unusual for me… xxx
I have all the symptoms of an anxiety or panic attack, that is why I know why. when i am getting my period (which i’m not even getting at the moment) i don’t usually have moments where i shut down and start shaking and my pupils go strange and i can’t breathe properly. And neither do most people.. it isn’t normal. xxx

I have been struggling with social anxiety and panic disorder since I was 16. I am almost 21 now and have been to many job interviews, but have not been able to make it through a single one without having a panic attack!!! I take medications daily, but with no luck!! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

I tend to suffer scary panic attacks whenever I go a place that is indoors apart from home, e.g. a shopping mall.
As time goes by though, it seems to get worse and it’s getting to the point where i get a panic attack, just by being out anywhere apart from home, before, it used to be just places like malls or restaurants.
I don’t know what to do about it, so i was just wondering if you can help me and maybe give me a suggestion on what to do.

I’ve not had a panic attack in ages, we’re talking at least a year i’d say, yet I still live in fear, the sub-concious is still fearful if you get what I mean, its still expecting a monster to jump out of the cupboard, I get this every day, I believed its called high anxiety.

The cure apparantly is to stop avoiding situations, but I haven’t been, I get on with all my normal activities in fear all day every day.

The only time it will lift is when I have a drink of alcohol, (And I don’t drink to cure it, just socially now and again)

Anyone know what I mean? Its like I’ve cured the panic attacks but the subconcious is still expecting them but there long gone.

Any ideas?

What is the difference between a panic attack and an anxiety attack ?
I’ve been suffering from panic attacks and wanted to find out more about it and how it links with anxiety attacks.

Thanks in advance.

about 2 years ago i was smoking weed with a few friends and i had a panic attack. I felt like i couldnt beathe well at all and my heart was going to stop. I was really freaking out and drinking alot of water. The water almost felt like a help to me and calmed me down a little. Every now and then this arises when i see or hear about weed,deaths or anything else making me nervous.

I hate feeling like i am going to stop breathing. Help.

What are the symptoms of Anxiety Attacks, or how do I know if I am getting them?

Don: I think what I’m having is a panic attack. See, I hate being in front of people. I get super nervous. Today I had to come home from school because I wasn’t feeling well- and when I got to Lunch, I just couldn’t stand it. I found a teacher and went to the nurse. She told me I could go home, and when I got home, after 10 minutes or so, everything was fine again.

Ever since I over dosed on anti deppressants, I’ve never had a panic attack, which ironically freaks me out. I hate change, and as strange as this may sounds, I was use to panic attacks. It’s almost as if they were a part of my life. How do I start them again? x

I have panic disorder brought on by PTSD. One day I was just "different" and then I have a Panic Attack.

I am now on medication and have finished thearpy. I still get the start of attacks but now where near how it was in the beginning. I am pretty good at controlling.

My biggest and WORST symptom is the "unreal" feeling. As though I am watching my life from outside. It is SO SCARY. Dr has told me that it is just a part of it.

My husband and I just bought a new house, I lost my best friend and my Mom is getting married in a week. I have had a lot going on and I feel as though I have been handeling things OK but tonight I sort of freaked and felt "out of it" and as if I was going to go crazy.

I am stuck awake and can’t sleep. I don’t want to eat and dont’ know what to do. It is just hard to feel alone in this.

I am just wondering what other people feel. Do you actually feel stressed when it happens or does it just come on like it does with me?

Blessings.

I have anxiety attacks sometimes, ususally caused by being far from home, far from a hospital, or about having a panic attack (as silly as that sounds). For spring break I have decided to drive to California from Colorado with my friends because I don’t want to be crippled like this anymore. However, we will be very far from home or a hospital as we drive through Arizona. If I have a panic attack, what is the best way to stop it? Breathing usually doesn’t help nor do my medications. Any tips?

how do you know if you are experiencing a panic attack or PTSD?

ok, so i have been having all the symptoms of panic attacks, and every one of the 4 doctors i’ve seen came to the same conclusion…anxiety disorder, panic attacks…

they did cat scans, holtor monitor, ekg, thyroid tests and ultrasounds, and multiple blood tests

NOTHING IS WRONG WITH ME BUT THIS PANIC THING!!!

how come i feel like there is something major wrong with me…

this jsut came out of no where…with no reason….i keep feeling like now im turning into a hypochondriac…

every ache and pain i think is something serious…

my leg hurt for the last 2 days, i keep telling myself its a blood clot….i had a 2 day headache, i though was a brain turmor…

i went from perfectly normal to a mental health freak….is this normal for panic things???

i have this….thing, its like im in this defense mode, im always waiting for a panic attack to happen….and now its like im expecting it to happen unless im really busy…

is being emotional part of it?
