Panic attack

[Nutmegbella 91]

Im having a bad one right now

shakiness

short of breath

i feel like my heart is really beating hard 

my voice: it’s like hard for me to talk to get my voice going.

because it’s beating hard it pulses throughout my whole body. Everywhere my arm shakes with easy thump, my left breast also thumps hard. And with the shortness of breath it feels odd painful.

i hadn’t eaten since 12 pm it’s 7pm  now I think my sugar dropped and caused the shakiness and the rest came from the scare.

but before all this happened I was laying in bed trying to stretch my back when I made a sudden movement and something cracked in my neck and made me feel dizzy. Im here thinking dissection or clot in the making. Thanks in part because I had my neck adjusted yesterday. 

It’s all anxiety right?

Yes, it is anxiety, IMO. Sounds like classic panic/anxiety, based on my own experiences. I know it feels awful, but it will pass. Take some slow, deep breaths (to the best of your ability) and try to tell yourself that this is not a normal. Sorry you're panicking, and I'm sorry it's taken a while to get a reply. I hope this helps!

Thanks. 

It passed. But I will say it felt completely different on my body. My back muscles are finally relaxed after years of tension. So my back really pulsed with pain with each heart beat. I have to really let it sink in that yes it’s just anxiety.

I'm glad you're feeling better and that it passed. I hope you continue feeling better.

And I’m having another, hopefully it is, panic attack.

last night I wanted to escape for a few hours from this anxiety. So I went dancing with my husband. We had more drinks than our usual. We came home and ate and went to bed. I awoke extremely thirsty, so I chugged down some juice, soda, and that didn’t seem to help calm the thirst. So I drank some lemon water. Followed by more cups of water. I had some sugary breads, and a ton of watermelon. Did I over do it with the sugar? I have chest anxiousness, a jittery feeling like yesterday’s low sugar episode. And this sense of jolts that goes through my body. Along with the trouble talking getting my words out. I’m looking up we’re i Can get get some blood work done and a physical. I think with me not going to the doctors for years now is really starting to get me nervous in not knowing how my body is. The last time I had a physical everything was great except I was 20 lbs over weight but I had just had my son. My sugar levels have always been normal. But diabetes has been affecting my mom and her siblings soooooo that has me concerned. The thing with the jolt, when I especially feel it on my chest, it’s like if it where a heart palp. The thing that freaks me out is the fear that my chiropractic procedures have affect my vascular system in some way. I’m also dealing with a ton of double vision. My issue is seeing if these symptoms are psychosomatic or if Im on my way to dealing with something serious.

Is it me planting that idea, even though I’m not really dwelling on it(at least some),  and bam my mind makes up the symptoms? Or am I dying? Dramatic I know. Or at least yeah I should do the extremes and get myself to a doctor?

I’m here trying to go on and continue as if nothing is happening but. I talk and my voice is shaky.

 And another thing I usually feel sore the morning after a night dancing this time around I’m having a delayed reaction cause right now that I’m moving around I’m starting to feel the soreness. O and the drinking thing well we drink and we go to the restroom a ton, but last night it was minimal, but could that be because I was really sweating it up last night? Shakiness and heartpalps right now are freakin me out. Sorry. For the multiple post I don’t have someone to talk to right now.

So sorry.. I'm in Texas so I didn't see your post. Hugs. I hope you got some sleep and your attack has stopped. When I have a panic attack I can't have caffeine for a good week after.. my nerves are shot and adding anything like caffeine will make me shake and feel weak, give me palps etc.. then I have an attack and it all hightens by 100. I can't tolerate alcohol at all.. but I know I'd be the same with alcohol. 

I wouldn't worry about how much your urinating.. hormones can make that fluctuate. 

How are you feeling now.?

@Holls it’s okay no need to apologze.  yeesh I know people spread throughout Texas they all have the same complaints about the heat! I hope it’s not to bad where you’re at. oh no, no coffee, for a week afterwards? I don’t think I can leave coffee. It’s a love/hate relationship, but I need at least one cup or I have a headache all day. I’ve been told your body craves it like in an addicts type of way. Scary huh? And so the consequences for me and the hubs lol is headaches when we don’t get our morning joe. 

Unfortunately it’s 4:30 am, my husband startled me awake. He needed my phone to look for his work phone. ?. One of the kiddos most likely has it. But I had fallen asleep on the couch, and when he came in I started sweating profusely. Then my heart started to race and get twitches or palps around my left chest.  By the time I got up the hubs had already left. Grrr. So panic attack comes. And I call him up, I ask was it really hot in the house he said yes. I told him I woke up sweating really bad and felt like i was burning. He said yup “cause it’s really hot in there”. I told him I was having a panic attack, he just said you know what to do. 

Umm I know I fear a ton. Add this to my list. Having a fever or overheated body, freaks me out. I fear I’ll be like those stories you hear about on tv that they had an onset fever and had bad consequences afterwards. I should know better, I was feeling hot last night with the shirt I am currently wearing. Might have polyester or something. I should just look at that possible reason why. But no my mind goes to freakin Hollywood drama level.

Don't you love our level headed no nonsense husband's. ? He was right.. you were sweating Bec it was hot in the house. I also sweat during An anxiety attack.. I get very flushed fast. That's how I usually now one is coming on. My husband works shift work so he is gone a lot and I do get that twinge of nervousness when he's not here.. but you are still doing better.. you are getting better step by step and day by day.. don't let this panic attack over shadow your progress. 

Lol it's so hot here 103. But we are used to it. Aug is the worst month of the yr. I guess I'll take heat over cold any day. 

Hugs. I hope you are feeling even better now.

Yes indeed they are our rocks. When you get that hot flash, do you ever feel like it’s not going to stop going up in temperature? I was able to see that I was just panicking after I typed it out. And i continues to do so today to just type out my fear and after reading it a couple of times i saw it was panic. So that helped today. Push forward right?

103 is your norm?! What the??? We are having a heatwave and it’s up there and I’m like nope!! Bring back the cold ?. I’m in inland California, used to be beach city girl, so we had the nice cool breeze but over here 2 hrs in from the nearest beaches. And it’s hot air blowing.

Yes, I sweat and get crazy hot. Enough so, I take my temp a few times. But like you I have journaled that so much it doesn't scare me anymore it's just apart of my anxiety attacks. 

I'm so glad you are noting all of this and are able to read it and rationalize it!! That's so so good. That helped me so much. 

Lol! I'd take some hot breeze, it's a stand still hot here lately. I put a huge fan outside yesterday for my dogs to give them a fake breeze. Oh and they have their own dog pool lol. Lucky guys. I bet it's beautiful where you live.
