Hey all I'm new here, My names Mark and i'm 22. For about 2 years i'd randomly get these brief feelings like I'm high, my body starts to tingle and I feel faint. I have a usually high blood pressure of 155/90 yet i'm still extremely active and eat healthy. I have tried various anti-depressants but find they killed my sex life and didn't do a whole lot for the panics. Now if you were to meet me you would think i was a normal exciting funny and mellow guy who doesn't stress at all, which is why nobody really knows about these attacks. I had my first real full-blown panic attack that lasted close to 2 hours last week, luckily my neighbours a doctor and tried to calm me down and gave me an Ativan, i felt like i was dying or i was extremely high. since that day last week i've been sick with the flu and i feel "high" just about 24/7 and have not gone to work since i've had this feeling (mainly because of the flu symptoms). I try to tell my doctor whats happening and he just says its normal and tries to give me another anti-depressant. Does anybody feel the way i do? Can anyone tell me if they know what this is or why its happening to me? since the only real stress in my life is worrying about these symptoms
Any feedback would be great!
