panic attacks Posted: 04-29-08 01:51am
panic attacks can be very frightening.
People who suffer from this condition may
feel their heart pounding in their chest
and have trouble breathing, making them
feel like they are going to die. This
condition often appears seemingly out of
nowhere and completely ruin ones life.

I have never had a panic attack, but
suffer from GAD (generalized anxiety
disorder) which is 24/7. And yes, it has
consumed my life. I do not know what is
causing it, but it is controlling my life
as well as my family. I am on Buspar and
Xanax and have been on numerous
anti-depressants, nothing has helped. I
am 46 years old and have always been
mentally/physically healthy until two
years ago. The symptoms started slowly
and have progressively gotten worse. I
have been to numeous doctors - nothing has
helped! Please HELP!

I am sorry for what you are going through
- believe me - I understand. As I said, I
live with it 24/7. Shortness of breath,
very weak, feeling of losing your mind,
depression, and nothing helps. I am on
xanax, buspar, and lexapro - none of which
are helping. I am being referred to an
endocrinologist - hopefully, he will help
or at least rule out any kind of physical
condition that could be causing this.
Have you been to a doctor? Are you on any
kind of medication for the panic attacks?
