Q: Panic attacks an anxiety after baby
asked by: ashearer1 on February 4th, 2009

I've always been pretty healthy. Since I had my daughter nine months ago, I've been really weird. I had them insert Mirena(birth control) and I wonder if it's my hormones. I have panic attacks on a daily basis, I always feel severe anxiety, I get really dizzy a lot and sleep ALL the time. I'm always sick and feel like i'm going to pass out. I feel like I can't walk sometimes. I can't take any medicine because I'm afraid I will die. That sounds weird. It's some fear I've suddenly picked up on. I will have a panic attack if I take just Tylenol. I have blurred vision a lot and headaches. I've recently got these weird bruises on my legs from my knee down. They won't go away. My legs really itch and ache. I get sharp pains in my lower abdomen. Any ideas??

I understand how you feel. I had my daughter 9 years ago, had pretty bad pp depression for about 13 months, then was ok for about a half a year. Then I started getting anxiety. It slowly turned into panic disorder and for almost two years I could barely leave my house. I too did not want to take anything that would change my heart rate or blood pressure as that always seems to induce panic.

Panic can be related to Poly Cystic ovaries (which I have) and I am slowly investigating a Progesterone deficiency which seems to also be relative to panic/anxiety. Have you checked into either of these?

No, I haven't checked into either of those. Would I see my OBGYN for the Poly Cystic ovaries? Did you get sharp pains where they were? I can't even have sexual intercourse with my husband because I hurt so bad. Will it ever go away?! It's terrible. I've been having panic attacks 3-4 times a day.
