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!

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

My Best Friend suffers from panic attacks and always asks for me when she falls in to one. I think she does because i can deal with epilepsy sufferers but i dont know what else to help with other than sit with her and watch her breath into a bag and talk to her. Shes on medication but that only makes her sleep then wake up in absolute fear. What else can i do?

Ive recently been smoking marajuana on a daily basis .Usually in the evening just to relax myself after a stressfull day of work.But i have noticed that when going to sleep ive been really short of breath and it lasts for like an hour before i can finally go to sleep ,and then i usually wake up in the middle of the night in sweats with a very dry mouth and throat .Im just curious as to know if these attacks are cause from the marajuana.

Our new puppy came from a shelter and has obviously been hurt. She is maybe two, a corgi mix, and spayed. She woke up last night breathing hard, almost snorting. We went in and gave her some love and she calmed down. She slept in the bed the rest of the night and she finally went to sleep. How can we help her feel safe and stop having panic attacks?
She has been abused because she has scars on her body. The vet seemed to think so. She has been sleeping in the bathroom in a crate. We are not overly "poor baby" with her and stay calm, but thought last night she was pretty freaked out.

I have a health anxiety disorder and cant stop thinking that there is something wrong with me. I feel i am going mad. I am on medication for depression but nothing is working. I cant sleep and just feel anxiety from the moment i wake up to the moment i go sleep, (when i do eventually get to sleep) its causing problems at home with my husband because he trys to understand but doesnt what do i do.

I have panic attacks at night at least once a week.
I wake up out of sleep panicy, hyperventilating, shaking and fearful.
Then i usually throw up and can’t get back to sleep.

I’m 16.

How can i get control over this without drugs.

I am 36 years old and have suffered with anxiety attacks for the last 15 years. I have been on numerous anti-anxiety drugs and have had several therapists to help me with this. Currently I am off all the meds. except for Xanax which I only take when needed. It seems like I have most of my attacks at night when I am trying to sleep. During the day when I feel an attack coming on I can usually get my mind off of it because I am busy at work or doing other things. But, at night is when the attacks are uncontrollable. They wake me up out of a sound sleep. My heart is racing , I have trouble swallowing and the heaviness and pressure in my chest is just awful. As of now, I am up due to another attack and have to get up in less than 5 hrs. to go to work. I have tried special breathing exercises to control this (which is what all the therapists tried teaching me) they don’t work at all. I have read self help books but nothing, absolutely nothing helps. The chest discomfort and trouble swalling is the most uncomfortable symptoms out of all the other anxiety attack symptoms I have to deal with. Does anyone have this same problem and how do you deal with it? I will not go back on any of the drugs. The Xanax does cause some relief but, I don’t like to take it. My mind just races with all of these "silly" worries and concerns that I don’t have any control over. I just don’t understand why it wakes me up out of a sound sleep at night. Any advice from anyone would be greatly appreciated!

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.

My wife had to cancel a long haul international flight because of anxiety – couldn’t sleep for a week, palpitations, etc. Despite the fact that she would have seen her parents for the first time in 5 years at the end of the flight she couldn’t go through with it. Is there any way to overcome this problem?

my symptoms are: anxiety, not being able to sleep late at night, nausea, wanting to be outside in the fresh air, rational thoughts. Has anybody ever heard lydia pinkham herbal tablets (they say it’s good for menstruation and menopause?) By the way I am 37 years old.

Hi. I have been suffering from panic disorder for almost a year. It is work related. I was bullied at work and as a result I got moved to another area. But its not the job for me and I cant cope anymore. I have started to look for another job.
Im ok until the day before Im back at work and then try not to think about it. But it is always at the back of my mind. I have panic attacks, usually when Im on my own, but my husband saw me for the first time having a really bad one last week. I feel so low and guilty, because I think my anxiety is too much for my husband. He shouldnt have to see me like this. I hate being on my own now, especially at night. And I cant sleep the night before Im working. Once Im there Im exausted and constantly worry away to myself. I have even thought about taking a heap of pills or cuttting myself – just so I dont have to go to work. But I wouldnt manage to do either of things cos I know that that would make everything worse. Im seeing a councillor.
Im not on any meds for it, I didnt want any fom my GP. But that was earlier in the year, and things did get better, but Im getting bad again and the very thought of going into work tomorrow makes me feel ill! But I cant take sick time anymore as I have been off alot this past year, and that also makes me worry. That Im going to loose my job if Im ever not well.

im 18 years old female and right before i go to sleep sometimes out of know where i’ll start feeling really light headed and dizzy, and my heart rate sometimes will either slow down or speed up, and i’ll be laying in my bed just thinking im going to die cause my heart is going to stop and it scares me. i cant sleep but sooner or later i do fall asleep and wake up feel better. is this a sign of an anxiety attack, cause i do get anxiety all the time.

what can i do so i dont trip out late and night so i can do to sleep without freaking out thinking im going to die and get light headed

I have been on lexapro 20 mg for almost 2 years because of depression, but recently I have been feeling like maybe its not working??? i am wondering what actions to take to get on a good reliable medication that will treat these symptoms:constant tension, worry, (i also have been diagnosed with adult add)-the lack of concentration and drive to do daily activities, low energy, some days i will only get 2 hours of sleep while others I could sleep all day and still wake up tired as hell. I am always tired, and lately i think i have been having panic attacks…in a stressful situation-mostly when i interact with other people. I get this like paranoid feeling that I doing something stupid (maybe i am who knows, i sometimes care…sometimes i don’t) or that other people are thinking that I am crazy by the way they look at me or talk to me. i know its wierd. But the anxiety is really start to eat away at me here lately. I don’t understand why this happens, i used to be the cont’d…….
I used to be such a sociable interactive person…but the medication just is not working. I have heard of some medications to take this edge off (or chemically balance?) me, but what are some to recommend to talk to my doctor about?

I’ve had anxiety for as long as I can remember. I used to have anxiety attacks as a juvenile, with a " lump in the throat and I’m going to swallow it and choke to death " feeling and my hands would get sweaty and I would lie awake in bed, scared to death from days, sometimes even weeks on in. I’m 25 now and I’ve recently been having them but they’re not too bad, however, today I was at work and encountered the worst anxiety attack I’ve ever had in my entire life. I was having a good day, nothing going wrong then all of sudden I left my office and my chest began to tighten. I started panicing and my heart rate increased drasticly and I began to shake uncontrolabley. I started thinking I was going to sufficate to death. It felt like I had someone sitting on my chest and I couldn’t expand it enough to get a full breath. I sat down and it began to slow down. An hour later, I thought it was over and I began to drive home from work. I was talking to a girlfriend on the phone and I literally hung up on her in mid conversation because it started again. I pulled over to the side of the road from the highway and started flipping out again. My chest tightened, I was having trouble breathing, I started to shake and and I felt really light headed. It honestly scared me. I’m afraid to go to sleep now. I’ve never expirineced a panic attack this bad before. Is this normal? a friend told me, some panic attacks are worse then others. I feel like I’m losing my mind.

I went to a concert last night, came home a little shakey and jittery. It was the normal symptoms for an anxiety attack, tightness in chest/throat, shaking, etc. I thought I calmed down, but I just woke up after sleeping for 5 hours, when I usually sleep for like.. about 9, lol. I feel like I'm going to throw up, but not in a sick kind of way, my throat just feels weird. I dealt with these symptoms before, but they usually don't last overnight for me. I think I'm calm, I'm taking deep breaths and all the other stuff, but it doesn't seem like it's helping. Is there anything you can recommend to make these symptoms go away a bit faster?

I started getting anxiety/panic attacks and depression bout month ago am 23 weeks preg now. They are awful – I can't sleep properly and am afraid to go to bed as this is where I got my first panic attack. I am terrified of baby's health both physically and mentally coz of them and am scared that I will have this anxiety etc forever. Does anyone think it might be normal preg worries made way worse by hormones and is there anything to do/take to ease these symptoms
