Hey yall, I have been diagnosed w/ Anxiety (back in February this year I was, I had a baby in Aug. 07') They believe it set it off. Althought I had panic attacks about 4 times a week when I was in high school (6 yrs. ago). Anyways, my question for yall is.....
I had probably one of the most worst panic attacks ever last week. And let me tell you I have not had an attack in 6 years. I got so overwhelmed w/ things when I was at work. My mind was not focused on work but it was racing about many other things. Next thing I know I am cyring, my heart was racing, then I feel like each side of my throat all around just connected together and closed up I couldn't breathe for the life of me. I swear I was going to pass out...but I didn't. I just had to calm down. Which took some time but eventually I did. Now I sit here at work or at home sometimes and my throat feels so tight. This has never happened...my panic attacks years ago felt different. I have never had this consistent feeling that my throat is closed up.
I had a prescip. for alprazalom (sp?) and I was taking it lightly. It took me many months to finish it off...The thing is, I feel as though I need to go see my doctor about what's been happening because I am scared now. I don't want my doctor thinking anything of me though. Let me remind you he is a PCP not a Psychiatrist. Should I go see him and ask what I should do or what? I am just confused and looking for a little guidance.
I have tried therapy a couple times.....and it didn't seem all that helpful. To be honest the thing that has helped me the most is my prescrip. but I don't want to seem like I am dependent upon them. So I am just stuck! Please help guys....I know it's in my head and I try to remind myself of it but it's just tough.

Thanks for any input/advice.
