People who know about anxiety attack plz hellpp!!

Ok so I just got back from overseas and I have had problems with anxiety attacks in the past but now since I've been back I have been getting these random rushes... I'll just be in a store doing my normal thing and then BOOM! I feel a rush from my head to toe, my heart starts racing, my eyes get blurry, I feel like I'm just going to pass out and die or my heart is going to stop. I have been able to deal with anxiety attacks for awhile now but since I've been back home I am getting them in a way I never have before and every time I get one its worse than the last. I was just in walmart and had the feeling and it was the first time that I really honestly said to myself ok this is it my heart is going to stop. It's the worst feeling in the world and I don't know what to do!?! My hand were shaking so bad I couldn't even dial on my cell phone!!

I would talk to my doctor about it. There might be an underlying medical issue causing your anxiety.

It used to happen to me about every 3 months. It's awful. I would seriously feel like I was dying. You need to get on anxiety medications or start with counseling at the very least. I'm sorry!!  

Talk to your dr. They may prescribe you Xanax to help,

Discuss it with your doctor. They may prescribe you meds.

I used to have that happen every time I left the house. I got a therapist and she taught me different breathing techniques to handle it. I also take Zoloft.

Yes it's the worst feeling ever and especially when it is so severe it's like my chest is going up and down on a roller coaster and my heart is racing and I can't do anything about it... I just took a xanax because that's what I was prescribed for my anxiety attacks but it just has never gotten this far with me before.. .

I have them every time I leave the house. I have them 10-15 times a day. Even if I don't leave the house. Alot of things trigger mine.

just curious, does zoloft work well for you? no side effects?

My heart races, feel like I can't breathe, my head gets lightheaded, my stomach feels like I'm going to throw up, I cry.

I take Lexapro, Buspar, Remeron and Ativan on a scheduled basis. Sometimes I take a Vistaril/Benadryl. I also have deep breaths and think to myself I'm not in any danger right now.

I used to have them and it was pretty severe, I got them on a daily basis. However, it was environmental.. I was an adolescent living in a pretty abusive situation with severe stress and chaos constantly. When I was able to move out on my own and live a calmer life they subsided.

I just started it a couple weeks ago, but I can already tell it's helping. I feel more motivated and a little calmer about things. The side effects are going away now, but they were terrible the first week. I constantly felt drugged up. Couldn't even drive lol. It gave me a headache, and was a little nauseous. Thank goodness they're going away!!

oh good! I was just curious because when my anxiety got bad I was afraid the side effects of meds would be worse lol. Right now I drink chamomile tea and it works wonders since my anxiety is very mild.
