Panic Attack Symptoms

John S asked:


I have been having panic attacks a lot lately. I have seen a doctor and was put on some medication. When I have panic attack I seem to hyperventilate a lot. Is there a way to stop panic attacks but if not how can I stop the hyperventilation?

I get frequent panic attacks after my “run in” with a heart problem I had a year ago. Panic attacks for me comes in waves and does not leave me for 3 – 4 days. It makes me feel very scared and depressed and I am edgy all the time. I keep feeling pain sensations in my chest, back and arm and can’t get over the feeling – that I am going to die or get a heart attack.
I did go to the doctor and my heart specialist. They can’t find anything unusual in my heart …they have given me some medications for this panic disorder – xanax – but that freaks me out and the withdrawal symptoms are awful. Thanks

I work at a call center and I answer the phone and deal with customers. I have started to have lots of panic attacks lately. I have visited with a doctor and was prescribed some medication. What can I do to stop a panic attack from occurring, also what can I do during a panic attack to stop it?

I fidget and shake my hands and flail my arms and jump up and down and bite my arms and I can’t stop. Anger somtimes (but not always) makes me feel like I’m having a panick attack. I usually run around in circles, but that makes the people around me get more angry at ME, which makes me more angry in return. When they tell me to sit down, I can’t sit still, I have to lay down so I can kick my feet and if I can’t flail my arms I have to bite/scratch myself (I even bleed). I feel like being violent so I usually try to controll it by either being violent to myself or breaking something. I feel intense anxiety and fear. When I’m done being angry I usually feel incredibly tired and go to sleep even when I don’t get so active and just sit still because the emotions and heavy breathing wears me out. I looked online and the only thing I’ve found is that I could have anger attacks, form of anxiety disorder, but the only known solution is what I don’t want: antidepressants. Help? How do I stop?
As I said, this does not ALWAYS happen. This is a rare occurange when I get angry, and is always something within my family. I have never acted this way publicy or in a professional location.

Is any body taking medicine for social anxiety and panick attacks and does it work? And than when you stop using them after a while do you even feel worse than before? How long do you have to take them?

Has anyone ever experienced severe Anxiety/panick attacks from many years of daily smoking?. I’m having problems with this and it’s starting to affect my life socially. I have never experienced anything like this, is there anything I can do to stop the Anxiety/Panick attacks?. I used to drink 6 cups of Coffee a day as well, but I quit that habbit last week and have been sticking with green Tea instead..but I still feel anxious when smoking. I am also now a medicinal smoker so if I quit my Dr will put me back on anti seizure meds.

I did quit once back in July and noticed the Anxiety was better, but it wasn’t gone..is this something that is permanent, or will it go away if I stop smoking?. I have been a smoker for the past 16 years and I’m approaching 30, have also been dealing with alot of stress, so I’m not sure what caused all this exactly..if it’s the Pot, caffeine and stress or what?. Any advice would be appreciated.

I’m having panick attacks (not too often, maybe once or twice a month or something), but I don’t know how to make them stop. Even if I’m not necessarily having a panic attack, I VERY often feel edgy and afraid and I don’t know why. My parents refuse to take me to the doctor. They say that the medications available aren’t meant for teens and will make me suicidal or crazy.
I’m not sure going to the doctor is an option. I get sick fairly often, so my parents don’t like to take me. They don’t know when to believe me. I don’t know why, because I’ve never faked being sick, and I’m always honest with them.
