my buddy gets them all the time. some times im a d**k and f**k with him to go into an attack:naughty:. it dosnt bother him too bad, but i know he dosnt like crowds and stuff. he had taken medication for it but didnt like the side affects. he smokes weed every day and that helps him with it. when ever he is feeling it, he will take a few puffs.

ive dealt with panic/anxciety attacks for 4 years now...

my boyfriend helps me by lettin me hold his hand really tightly..

heat as in hot bath or air helps too calms ur nerves...

make her spell out something to get her mind off of it..

those are some that help me alot.. but everyone has different types of ways to calm it

usually when u have them u want to get away from people.. and be by ur self sometimes..

just wanted to help ya ..i hope fior the best for her and u

Got them in high school and throughout my post-secondary education. Would still get them now I'm sure if the situation was right.

My trigger is sitting in a classroom type setting watching a video on heart attacks. Rather difficult/embarrassing as my education consisted mainly of kinesiology/athletic therapy/sports injuries/first aid classes. Nothing like seeing a first year student acting like he's drunk falling down the stairs of a lecture hall, dragging his head along the front of the room, falling down and passing out by the water fountain in front of 800 other students - and I don't remember any of it. I tried to sit through them to see if I could outgrow the episodes, but it didn't happen. I tried extremely hard to try and control and stop them when I felt one coming on ... failed miserably.

Just by thinking of it, I've elevated my heart rate and am feeling a little antsy.

Don't be a douchebag like me - get medical advice, get diagnosed, and get medication if it is required.

I have them. My heart races very very quickly. Gets very difficult to breath. The first time I got them I thought I would die. After I learn that I am not going to die from asphyixiation, I am okay. I just keep doing what I am doing. I have a perscription for xanax but I am opposed to taking medicine. I refuse most medical treatment because I believe it proliferates cancer, virii, and bacteria advancement. I do not suggest this for everyone.

I get them in new situations. I like routine. It keeps me "safe" (not trying to act like a puss*) When I go to new places or experience new things I usually get them

once i was lying in bed, kinda half awake half asleep to the point where i was still able to know whats goin on and i started dreaming i was getting killed by being run over and i just had that feeling of being so scared, but thats the only time its ever happened to me.

Well I had them, I DO NOT go to doctors. I did alot of reading. Finaly it took me 5 yrs to get them almost gone. But for 5 yrs I could not eat out. I would go to work then go home or to a few select places friends houses. Other then that I didnt go. Did not go to the mall for several yrs. If i did go to mall I went it got what i needed if I couldnt get anyone to go for me. And I never told anyone about this. It was like I dropped off the earth. Now it is going on about 1yr and I have only had a hand full of them. I learned I changed my eating, and alot of other things. Its no fun and none should really give people sht about the ones that do have them. Almost everyone gets them but they will vary. Some really bad and others not so bad. And it sucks when you watch tv and they show all the info programs etc... just helps make you feel worse.

hey what struck me about your post is that you mentioned you would only go "to a few select places friends houses".. the impression i get from that line is that you would never get anxiety attacks in front of people you feel "comfortable" with.. would you agree with that statement? how about you other people that seem to have a case of this?

I Agree With Nightmare.. I Cant Go Out To Eat, Let Alone Go To Some Of My Friends Houses..i Have Them Anywhere Even In The Car Or At The Mall Sometimes At Walmart.. It Just Really Sucks And Yah U Shouldnt Give People That Have It A Hard Time Cuz My Life Has Changed From This And I Wish It Would Change Back.. But It Wont And People Makin Fun Will Make It Alot Worse On Some People..

well she, along with her mom, and along with her brother, have all seeked medical treatment/advice, counseling, therapy.. etc, you name it. what's weird is first her mom had it.. then a couple days later after her mom's panic attack experience, her brother had it. then a couple days after her brother, SHE got it.. i couldn't believe it when she called me to tell me about it.. but the fact that its scientifically known to be inherited convinces me.. and the fact that its more of a "mental" instability convinces me also.. cuz i believe the mind can do many things to a person. but yea, she's consulted doctors and the like about the whole situation and theres nothing that they have done to RID of the whole disease..they prescribed her some medicine before but she doesnt want to depend on "drugs" to get through this.. and honestly i dont either, even though im a fan of herbal healing and im proud of her for not depending even though she use to be an abusive alcoholic.. i just wish i could take this massive weight off her shoulder
