My most recent episode
I actually am new to having anxiety and panic attacks within the past 8 months due to being hospitalized for ovarian cysts and extreme pain. When I went to the hospital it was my first time having anxiety or panicing because I've never been to the ER before. Ever since my body got that weak and went into the "panic state" I feel like I have been weak ever since and more prone to anxiety and panic attacks with anything that comes to health. I recently was suppose to get married and move to another state to finish college and I started having bad panic attacks. Then, my sugar problems started getting worse in time. It's as if the ovarian cyst problems have affected my sugar problem making me feel like I have to eat every hour because I feel faint constantly. NOW, my sugar problem is so bad that I am afraid to drive anywhere alone. I decided not to move, and I'm putting off school because of this. My most recent episode actually was driving to a dermatologist and I actually got faint at the appt. so I left, I ended up driving away and started feeling like I was going to throw up, or need to seriously use the bathroom because my stomach was hurting. I began to panic because I was alone and in an unfamiliar area, the panic attack or anxiety made my sugar problem worse, either that, or all the symptoms were only because of a panic attack. I ended up getting a frosty from wendys and chugged it and forced myself to drive home, talking to myself all the way home just so I wouldnt lose consciousness. From that moment, I decided not to drive anywhere alone, which is very depressing, I use to be very independent and I use to have complete control over everything and now its as if I've lost all control and it is running my life to the point where I cant work or go to school. Its rediculous! I went to the doctors and they did a glucose test early in the morning but for some reason I wasn't feeling all that sick that morning and I think my tests came back normal. How is it normal if I have to eat every hour or 2 or else I feel sick? Ok, I guess thats off topic. BUT OVERALL, YES, I definetly panic if I start feeling like I'm going to fait and there is no one around, which makes it progress faster and worse.
