Old Problem Coming Back
I don't know why, but panic attacks have started being a problem for me again. Either that or I am having heart problems. Ever since my mom's heart attack I have a fear of having one. You know, because I needed something else to fear :/ Since my panic attacks mimic the symptoms of a heart attack, I always wonder if I'm really dying. These days I keep getting a heaviness in my chest and an overwhelming sense of doom. My anxiety med calms it eventually, but it's still so scary. Today I had it happen after I got home from the grocery store. There was also a bad storm right after we got home with potential for a tornado, so that didn't help. I am finally feeling a little better. Maybe I can eat some lunch now. I wish I knew what has triggered these frequent attacks. I guess when my counseling starts up again we can get to the bottom of it.

I hope you figure out what's causing them so you can try and get a handle on them.
Thanks, Mary.
Oh, I do hope you figure out what is wrong!
Thank you.
I'm sorry to hear that. I have them too and mine started kicking in again (after several years without a big one I couldn't breathe through) when I was summoned for jury duty.
I do not feel like I'm having a heart attack though. I end up feeling cornered and if I can't get away I pass out or vomit. Which ya know...isn't fun in front of people. lol
I hope you can figure out the trigger and get them under control again Amy.

That doesn't sound pleasant at all, Karen. I have gotten sick with them before, never passed out (so far).
