                          I've had them. I thought I was having a fuckin stroke. I could barely breath, I was tingly all over, I went to the emergency room. Fucking scary shit. If it happens again, just take deep inhales through your nose and then exhale through your mouth slowly and drink some ice water. You should snap out of it within a few. Good luck and learn to calm down

                              My wife used to have them. the best thing you can do in a panic attack is focus on one thing to occupy your mind and keep forcing yourself to focus on it until it goes away. This sounds crazy but when it happens grab a sheet of paper and sit down. Start at 100 and write 100, 99, 98, 97,........saying the numbers out loud or to yourself as you write themu ntil you get down to 1 and if needed start over but keep focusing on the counting and the writing. that helps alot of times and I've known several people who get panic attacks that use that method.

                                              I have them frequently. That's why I buy pills on-line. It's the only thing that helps. When it hits me in public, I fear that I'm literally losing my mind. It's like being strangled by an invisible hand while the whole world watches your every move.

                                                  The last time quiet posted about them I started to think about it.
                                                  I think I had them when I was like 16 or so. I never thought that what I got was panic attacks, but the symptoms match. I no longer have 'em though.
                                                  ..and I'm off.

                                                      i just started a thread which became quite long, about this last week. unfortunately the search deosn't work.

                                                      yes, i've had them, as have a ton of other gfy'ers. i got over mine (for the most part) without drugs, by moving out of the city, exercising every day, cutting out all caffeine and trying to get more sleep.

                                                          I've had a few panick attacks in my time. I can usually make it through them okay, I focus on something that makes me happy. I'll go outside and pop the hood on my car, or grab my hockey stick and take some shots at my garbage cans from the end of my driveway, pretty much anything that I enjoy doing helps make panick attacks more barable.

                                                          Going for a walk helps as well.

                                                              i have more experience with this than anybody on the Net almost. i was involved in the original studies Upjohn did on Xanax as it was coming on the market in i think 86, i forget the year, with a doctor from Harvard at Massachussetts General.

                                                              they are a bitch especially if they don't come from some stress you can easily identify - I went over 2 years having no clue what was going on - investigated me for so many illnesses over and over - brain tumors, MS, mental, food allergies, inner ear and on and on.

                                                              nobody who's never had one can understand them - but jesus it's scary how many people seem to have them. supposedly they figure 2-3% of the population has it - many alcololics and drug addicts have it but don't know it. i got booted from home cuz my parents thought i was a complete slacker, I am a slacker but not that bad - my Dad wised up though cuz he started to read and knew that I never tell a lie. My mom was the one who instigated shit.

                                                              i'm up in the air about how much is biochemical and how much is just life and stress. they have recently identified a gene they think is what predisposes somebody to them.
                                                              I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!

                                                                                  I've had a few from time to time. I've learned to recognize the signs and pretty much know what situations will cause them. The last one I had was at the optomitrist. As soon as she explained what she was going to do, I knew I would have an attack before she was done and warned her.

                                                                                  It was all good until she numbed my eyes and started some sort of pressure test. I felt the room get warm and my skin start to get clammy and let her know that an attack was starting and together she helped me through it.

                                                                                  I know it sounds strange to say that I have learned to stay calm during a panic attack..... it sounds so contridictary, but the fact is, you CAN. If you know what's happening, and you know what settles you down, you can calmly go through the steps.

                                                                                  For me, I typically lay down, put my feet up and apply cold compresses on my face and chest! I concentrate on slowing my breathing and relaxing every muscle in my body.

                                                                                  Call me a wuss, I rightly don't give a shit.... but it took me three tries to make it through the exam. The optomitrist was a gem, she completely understood what I was going through and was very patient with me and thankful that I was able to let her know in advance. She had everything ready and available that I would need prior to starting my exam. Afterwards, she even sent out for some juice and requested that I stick around for a half hour to make sure I was okay to drive home. I was more than happy to stay. One panic attack can be tiring.... three in a 30 minute period is downright exhausting.

I've had probably a dozen and if I could stick my head in the freezer and breathe it would probably help, but there is no way I'm getting to the kitchen. I had one when leaving the bathroom and ended up laying on the hallway floor for a good 10 minutes before being able to crawl to and climb up in bed. My arms and legs tend to draw in (that's why many think they're having a stroke) and any movement I might be able to make is hard if not nearly impossible to control until it starts to pass enough to relax them.

                                                                                          What's weird about mine is that they have mostly occurred during non-stressful activities, walking back from the bathroom, cooking, fixing (simple things on) other's computers... got hit with a couple while driving, now that was scarey. The effort it took to get pulled over and stopped certainly didn't help the intensity of it.

                                                                                                  i have had them on bridges and causeways - driving alone - a nightmare - and the plane - forget about it. i used booze and xanax for awhile but a panic attack is smart, it can get around them - xanax loses it is effectiveness the more u use it, all of those drugs do - it's why medication is good but really not the whole answer.

                                                                                                  the only good thing i can say about it is that most people who get them I have found are extremely intelligent, and worriers, meaning they worry about life, their families and friends, and the planet and what it's all about - basically smart good people get em - which doesn't mean people who don't get them aren't smart and good.

                                                                                                  they do make you a better person, more fucked up but a better person nonetheless. for whatever that's worth.

                                                                                                      but in retrospect its true - excercise is so fucking important. my panic attacks got worse when i stayed inside more, at the computer, travelling, filming, (gaining weight and no time to excercise)

It was right after dinner, we all went straight to bed. I was fast asleep when this gigantic RAT sprung out from my side and bit me on my lip! FUCK!!! I had trouble breathing and I was rushed to the hospital. I still have this scar in my lip whenever my lip is dry...

                                                                                                          The fuck 'n' RAT was as big as a cat!!!

Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.

                                                                                                              on the other hand there's also a saying i always keep in mind - the enormity of somebody else's problems don't diminish my own problems, to me. just because somebody else is dying a painful death somewhere doesn't mean that somebody else shouldn't hurt because they just lost a job or they got dumped by their boyfriend/girlfriend.

                                                                                                              man that is depressing about that girl - the medical system in the Czech Republic sounds horrible.
