dn.dan_6575 asked:

I don’t know exactly what it is, but from reading and researching, I think it is what you all called panic attack and it happened to me quite often lately. I sometimes just sat and thought of something and that all it took, I started to panic and my body started to get hot and sweaty. So weird and very scary. It’s like whatever I thought of, trying to take control of my body and my mind. Like the other day, I was in the dentist office, after getting the shot, my body started to shake and I panic. I felt like I was going to die. I had to go to the bathroom and calmed myself down. Or sometimes even a simple thing like thinking about my breaking up and not being able to see my girlfriend anymore… But what would happen if I couldn’t calm myself down ? Is this condition related to not being fit (lack of endorphine)? Is this normal, I mean, does it happen to everyone? What is the best way to deal with it, because I don’t like to depend on medication if I can help it. Please help !

How do I know if I am having a panic attack? On May 30 of this year I was at the mall. My first experience is that I feel dizzy. Then I start to feel like I can’t move my body. My body doesn’t feel relaxed. Than make stomach gets upset and I feel sick to my stomach. The spells comes twice a week for 20 to 30 minutes. After 30 minutes than I feel like myself. After I have theses spells I feel really sleepy and feel like I am on edge. I have made and appointment with my doctor for next thursday. Does anybody think that I am having a panic attack? Or does anybody think that I have a medical problem? Is there any medication that I can take for panic attack? Are there any self help groups out there? I live in the south jersey area.

Last night I was laying down about to fall asleep, and all of a sudden my heart started racing very fast and off beat. I have a heart murmur and heart palpultations, but this felt completely different. I didn’t feel good laying down it only made it worse. It felt a little better when I stood or sat up. Is this a panic attack?

mikegr16 asked:


I used to smoke all of the time and not have any anxiety. Nowadays, I have been getting pretty bad panic attacks every now and then after I smoke marijuana. I want to know what I can do to decrease the effects of the panic attack if I feel it coing on right after I smoke. Is there a certain type of weed to smoke or device to smoke out of that will smooth out the effects?

I have a Maths Exam tomorrow and I suffer from Panic Attacks in really quiet situations, it happens in assembly so I avoid it and it happens in lessons sometimes so I talk to people. But this is going to be a 1 hour and 30 minute exam, I’m going to be having one Panic Attack after another. I’m so frightened. When I get these Panic Attacks, I try to breath but I just can’t reach the top of my breath. Also I try to drink water but I just cannot swallow it. Please help! I’m so worried! :(

Is it okay to take my sisters prescription panic attack medicine?

Foosa asked:


Often before going on airplanes, I take my sisters panic attack medicine. I could not tell you exactly what it is called though. I am 14 years old and I do take it with an adults supervision. Although I do ride in airplanes often, I am still quite afraid of them. Do you think it is still okay to use it, or should I not use it before going on planes because I am not prescribed it? I don’t need it for anything else, I don’t get random panic attacks or anything.
