I think I've been having panic attacks.
For the last 4 months, I feel off and on
like I can't breath good. It isn't
constant, mainly when I think about it. It
started when a lot of change and loss
occurred. I can't go far out of the house
without having a severe one. I start to
feel dizzy and like I'm trapped, even if
I'm outside, I'll feel smothered and
claustrophobic. I'm just scared it's
something else, like psychical. Does this
sound a lot like panic/anxiety attacks, or
are there other diseases that have these
symptoms? I haven't felt like myself at
all. I feel horrible, I can't even enjoy
life. I'm 18, just graduated, live in a
comfortable environment, and I don't feel
good. I'm starting to make myself sick,
unless I really am. I was going to go to
the docs today, because i had a horrible
attack, but I chose not to. after
stretching and walking outside by myself
and relaxing, I felt better. I don't even
feel like eating much or drinking much, so
I'm getting worried. I don't really feel
it when I'm sleeping, like i don't wake up
from it, and when my mind's off it, I
don't feel it as much or at all....
Please help!

Hello, last week I went through the same
thing, these things are ALL IN YOUR HEAD.
It only happened to me because my dad
called me and told me he couldnt breath,
so the night after that I woke up and I
thought of the phone conversation and my
heart started beating fast and it felt
harder to breath, and I thoought if I
didnt try, I wouldnt be able to breath. I
know that wouldnt have happened if my dad
didnt call me, so that proves its all in
my head. If you think about anything too
much it will make you scared and panic,
and since our bodies are controlled by our
brains, you are just fooling yourself into
a panic attack. I suggest taking the week
off, or going to a spa, or getting a foot
massage because those take ALOT OF STRESS
AWAY. just stay relaxed, and know its not
real, its just in your head
-Stay calm--

These things are not in her head. Panick
and anxiety are serious conditions. You
should see a dr. and get some meds or
therary and try to find the root of these
attacks.
