I was having one too. Panic attacks will always lie to you. But no matter how unsafe or scared or out of control you feel know that its just anxiety lying to you. You will get through this.

I have serious dizziness to write this post but josh hit nail on head. my blood pressure to get a reading of 146/110 so its a bit high. but it will come down according to josh not to let our illness take over us.

Breathe in and out deeply too...that is what I'm told to do and it worked for me. Hope it does too.

Hello, ashland.

My therapist gave me a card with these coping tips. They take some practice but have been helpful.

Coping With Anxiety and Panic

1. Remember, feelings of panic are just exaggerations of normal bodily stress reactions.
2. Sensations are neither harmful nor dangerous - just unpleasant. Nothing worse will happen.
3. Anxiety is temporary. Instead of fighting it, relax into it. Just let it be.*
4. Focus on facing the fear rather than trying to avoid it or escape from it.
5. Stop adding to the panic with frightening thoughts of where panic will lead.
6. Stay in the present. Be aware of what is happening to you rather than concern yourself with how much worse it might get.
7. Notice that when you stop adding to panic with frightening thoughts, the fear begins to fade.
8. Wait and give the fear time to pass.
9. Look around you. Plan what you will do next as the panic subsides.
10. When you are ready to go on, do so in an easy, relaxed manner. There is no hurry.
11. Think about the progress made so far despite all the difficulties.
*Breathe

I've been having them too!
I take Neuronton 300 mg twice a day and 900mg at night, plus 2 Klonopin for sleep...
Breath deeply and slowly
It will pass...
Now, you reminded me to take my NEURONTIN
I was just feeling panic as well!
Feel better!!!

Hello everyone, I have panic attacks too. Will pass, always pass
Breath ashland you are not alone

glok: Thank you very much for sharing the card your T gave it to you, it's so well done, great to follow step by step to help me to cope with my panic attacks.
I had have learned how to cope, had have for years and sometimes I can cope sometimes I can't. I never give up though ... takes time.
I find this card very easy to follow, really helps. Thanks!

I knaow how all of you feel. I take clonopin to keep my anxiety away. My depressions make my anxieties worse! Thankfully I don't have to take them all the time as they make me sleepy! I am better at work as it takes my mind off myself. Boredom brings my depression worse and am waiting for school to start!

[truebliever]

Good Afternoon Triggers.Truebliver here.I agree with you boredom does help bring on my anxiety.I can be talking with people I'm ok.Then let me be still for alittle while and here comes the anxiety.My problem is take a blood thinner,and even through I've had never had ablood clot,my mind wants me to think I have them.I do take a Ativan .05 mg as needed.As I'm writing this my anxiety is trying to tell me I'm shortnes of breath.i know I'm not.Best wishes for you.

Hope you feel better? There's no shame for taking a medicine to relieve your anxiety. The bp does sound concerning. Are you addressing your stressors in therapy? That's one means to control your health.

BP concerns can mimic symptoms of anxiety. Mine runs low, so I keep that in mind. My last neuro appointment was told I'm bordering on too low.
