Ok ill be serious here...
I must admit i suffer from panic attacks....ive had 3 that i can remember...one was actually pretty funny.
the first happened when i was a senior in HS...but i didnt know it was a panic attack until my second one because the symptoms were the same as the first...
i actually went to the ER the second time because i thought i was dying. LMAO sounds messed up but panic attacks in themselves can be pretty intense, so intense you think you're going to die.
Heart palpitations, hands going numb (mine actually cramped up into lobster claws because i was hypreventalating so much), stomach cramps, dizziness, nausia, shaking, etc...
if all those things at the SAME TIME don't make you feel like you're going to die, i don't know what does.
Panic Attacks happen when you have a lot of pinned up emotion or thoughts that hit you all at once, like a rush of utter shock....and then before you know it you dont know how to come out of it.
The third time this happened to me was about a week ago, but i managed to leave the situation that was bothering me so much (which was a shocker, cuz i never thought id react to anything like that).
Next time just take deep breathes, and try to relax...
thats the best advice i can offer u;) |

first off, even when i'm not stoned I'm paranoid half the time that i'll get a panic attack.
The thing is, I know what you have. My cousin was taking xanax, prozac, fullertine, bunch of anti-depressants to stop his panic attack episodes.
The thing with me, is just I get them only when I'm stoned. If you've ever been stoned, You would know why. Tweak or marijuana, one of the side-effects is that you get intensely paranoid.
Now I don't think I have it as bad as some people, but it sucks because I'm a bob marley inspired, tree-loving, new generation hippie, that kind of mother ****** who loves his weed. I never had any problems with weed, never affected anything socially or productively in anything that I do, so I never had a reason to stop smoking weed.
I guess It's a good thing to be healthy, but marijuana was one of my favorite hobbies. I was all into it- SOG system, jerome bakers, aromavap, I had it all. now, it's all worthless. |

I'm pretty appalled by some of the replies here to be honest, Having suffered from panic attacks for the last 8 years and not being on top of them, I can assure you that it's no laughing matter at all.
Firstly they can come on in different ways, some people may confuse being high or stoned or whatever with them, they're not panic attacks, they're due to whatevers been taken bringing out the unnatural effects of it.
Personally I've had panic attacks most days, left me virtually housebound, and it's no fun life, seeing people at uni or working, when i cant do all, i've been on countless meds for it, and nothing has helped to 'that' extent, one or two reduced the symptoms a bit, but only for short periods of time.
Symptoms can vary, at first it was just like butterflies and nervousness, but now just to do simple things like goto the store, I'm usually sick once, feel short of breath, very weak, shaking, huge adrenaline rushes, sometimes it's hard to even stand up straight. your head starts going through permetations about what could happen if something happens, you believe everyone is looking at you, judging u because ur nervous, tendencies like not making eye contact and biting nails become almost compulsive.
The main thing is, for a lot of people, it seems impossible and controls our lives to such a point where yes, it makes u wonder why your alive living through it. The only thing that I find helps me is friends, you need people to believe in you, to breed confidence, i have all of it, but without the select few friends who know who they are, i'd not be here now. I just hope people who take the piss out of people so quickly without thinking actually start to do so, cos for some of us, there seems no way out.
end unusually long rant for me |

You might want to moderate the tone of your post if you're going to want us stupid kids to take you seriously. I know how crippling it is and how it can take over your life first hand, though i've only had a panic attack once. Everyone who has panic attacks has extreme anxiety. Not everyone with extreme anxiety has panic attacks.
caddyshack:
Definition of a panic attack, straight from a dictionary:::
PANIC ATTACK: The sudden onset of intense anxiety, characterized by feelings of intense fear and apprehension and accompanied by palpitations, shortness of breath, sweating, and trembling. Also called anxiety attack.
Panic attacks don't just happen. Did some relatively minor thing happen first (like rapid heartbeat or something) making you afraid, after which the attack became worse? That would be a panic attack. If you just started having some sort of attack out of nowhere that made you afraid after the attack started and the attack stayed the same after you became afraid, it wasn't a panic attack. |

Yeah panic attacks are very serious.... and for those people that do not understand the mental exhaustion that they entail, and on top of that poke fun about them is NOT COOL.
humor comes in many ways, but not in that way. |

yeah, here is what happened. i woke up and said to myself "why the hell is my heart beating so fast, i've just been sleeping" so i lie there for 5 minutes or so trying to breathe calmly, then i couldn't take it anymore and got up to rinse my face or something to chill me out, but on the way my heart went even more crazy, like ape crazy, and i fell to the floor thinking lying flat would reduce the strain on my heart. after that i could do nothing but squrim until the ambulance arrived. I was sure i'd be dead before they came.
i can't understand what you wrote in bold, can you restate |
|
|
| Radagast |
What I meant in bold was:
Say you had an abnormality, such as rapid heartbeat, that just happened for no reason. And once this happened you became very afraid. If ,once you became afraid, the abnormality stayed the same as when the abnormality first began, it's not a panic attack.
However, if you became very afraid after the unexplained abnormality happened and the symptoms became worse or new symptoms occured, then it was a panic attack because it was elevated by anxiety. |
