I, too have been suffering panic attack for two years but gladly I have seek a help from doctor after couple of months of feeling it. It has been said, depression and anxiety attack go together. It was such a horrible experience of mine. Glad that I feel a lot better. But the sad thing is, it is hard for me to let go of taking pill for depression. I take anxiety pill when I feel my heart beating so fast, rare to happen now. Thanks God. This is my advice to everyone that if they feel something they do not understand, they should see a doctor and express it out before it gets worse.

I love to read this topic. Very informative to those who do not know anything about anxiety. I bookmarked your page and would love to come by again for more articles to read.

I, too, suffered from GAD, generalized anxiety disorder, which is a form of low-grade all the time anxiety. In fact, until I was willing to take medication, I didn't know what it was like to NOT have the anxiety. It was like a hum in the background. For me, the answer was taking the right amount of medication - in my case, 150 mg. of effexor XR (this was selected because it effects both serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine. I am also a psychotherapist in California and specialize in working with individuals with anxiety disorders including panic attacks. I don't advocate for or against meds for anybody, but I try to provide as much information and suggest everybody see their MD along with being in talk therapy with me. I utilize a hybrid of cognitive behavioral therapy along with something called ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy) which emphasizes deciding to act in the face of feeling anxious. It's challenging to say the least and yes, I get to work with my own anxiety, too.

Good writing.

Warmly,

I had anxiety problems for years. I couldn't drive, ride in elevators, eat in restaurants and many other things without having horrible panic attacks. I thought there was something physically wrong with me and after seeing a LOT of Doctors I was told to see a shrink - well I was 18 and thought I was being told I was nuts, so I never went, never got help and had to live with this for a very long time. I don't know how it happened, but as I got older and maybe more comfortable in my own skin, these panic attacks happened less and less - now I hardly ever have to deal with them. I wish someone had told me that I wasn't nuts, that this happens to A LOT of people - I really felt alone.

Excellent awareness post.
It is also important that our family members are just as aware. For people caught up in any type of anxiety disorder...it can be difficult to identify with. It may take an outsider to direct you in the right direction.
Always get a second opinion and even with all of the information on the internet highway..RESEARCH yourself.
Your health is your responsibility!

Have a very good day!

It took me years to realize that my symptoms were anxiety attacks. My doctor treated them as hypoglycemia and then possibly low blood pressure. Until once I had a panic attack while I was in the hospital.... my pulse measured normal, my blood pressure measured normal...and we eventually found that it was anxiety. It makes SUCH a difference knowing.
