Hi hopefully I can shed a little light. Please read my posts by clicking on my profile. This is what the anxious mind will do. I've tried Meds therapy and most recently my faith in god. Listen to this scripture whether you believe or not. Matthew 6 27 says for no amount of wrry can add not even one hour to your life. I know the feelings are scary but they will not hurt you. Otherwise I'd be dead now.

I agree with the previous comments - it really sounds like very classic generalized anxiety with panic attacks. Panic attacks can absolutely wake you up from sleep, and they feel just like you've described. They will NOT kill you. And, in fact, many people find that therapy can help them learn to calm themselves back down when they start to occur. Sounds like you got yourself off to a good start by finding the book on panic.

I am just curious but someone posted about a Doctor dieing from cardiac arrest from anxiety.I am just curious can that really happen can you really die from cardiac arrest in anxiety..Can someone answer that for me and let me know..I have been checked for a cat scan, blood test, and a EKG so i am just curious if i should get checked for other things and just to make sure there isnt anything wrong bad..When becomes to something like SCA that freaks me out..

A lot of these feelings and fears are common to anxiety disorder. Anxiety disorder can cause physical tension as well as sometimes feeling detached from reality. It would be worthwhile to speak to someone such as a family member or if you don't feel comfortable speaking to them a counselor and obtain a referral to a psychologist so you could discuss these concerns with them and they could help you.

Can Panic/ Anxiety be dangerous like cause heart attacks stroke etc.....

I did have a treatment for anxiety and panic attacks also counselling as well, it took a long time but eventually it eased of but I am let with this fatal anxiety, which I think is progressing because I'am having an awful pain in my knees, walking up and down the stairs is a massive task, also my hands are aching. Could you please give me any advise at all what can I do to make it better.

1. Could this be the onset of Sporadic Fatal Insomnia? What is the best way to get tested for that? 2. Could panic and anxiety themselves be causing such powerful and varied symptoms? Thanks!

It is time to see a doctor so that IF it is something bad, it can be fixed more often than not when caught on time. I am not trying to scare you, it could be something non fatal and easy to control/solve, on the other hand, I am being honest and letting you know, these symptoms are reason to see a doctor. Please keep us posted.

My doctor has diagnosed me with PTSD,I suffer anxiety,panic attacks,depression and insomnia,only a doctor or psychiatrist can diagnose this disorder.

I am also havin anxiety attacks with it but it seems the anxiety attacks have slowed down alot I went to the doctor about the anxiety and he said that in time i will be going to the bathroom normal( this was 2 weeks ago). I also get pains in my stomach from time to time but seems to be when i have to pass the gas. I am worried is there any reason to be or is this normal?

ve been taking this damned SSRI for 6-7 long years and had the whole nine yards of depression/anxiety attacks and breakdowns, a few of my posts tell a few of them. So when i saw my doctor last to get a refill of my Depressants, i was safely told that at that moment' was a good time to come off them and i'd been weaning slowly beforehand. I've come off of 20mg.

You might find the Anxiety Community Forum a better place to get support, it's specifically set up for exactly that: http://www.medhelp.

They may be safe in and of themselves, but there can be really bad, even fatal, interactions from herbal remedies and pharmaceuticals. If you are taking any type of prescription med, please do not take this until someone with real knowledge, like your doctor or a pharmacist has said it's OK. Far better to be safe than sorry.

ok guys here i am again it's me irish i posted a question asking how to get over the fear of taking medication for my anxiety for those who did'nt read that posted question let me give you a quick run down i have had anxiety for 10 years and not once have i ever took anything for it so i was getting overwhelmed with my anxiety and asked for everyones advice on how to get over the fear but then someone inspired me to post another comment about how i've been able to do it without medic

Well absorbed (50–100%) following oral administration. Controlled release tablets are enteric-coated and control medication release over 4–5 hr. Distribution: Widely distributed throughout body fluids and tissues, including the CNS; enters breast milk. Protein Binding: 95%.

I have been dealing with regular panic attacks and anxiety for 3 years, then for the past 2 months my "panic attacks" have gottan so bad that the doctors at the ER are saying that it is SVT. My attacks used to make my heart rate be around the 130ish range, but now they shoot up to 190. My attacks keep getting worse and worse. They take a while to peak and they take a while to go back to a normal pace. Adenosine and beta blockers do not help with my attacks at all.

The Remeron can be quite sedating, which can be helpful with anxiety, but make it difficult to get the energy you need for college. I find that my mornings are still not what I'd like them to be as I currently take 30 mg. for depression. My best to you as you get your help...

Are there any over the counter meds that I can take daily at home for anxiety attacks. I have at least two attacks every day, but I have no insurance to go to a doctor for a prescription med.

Now my attacks are hitting me out of nowhere.what can i do?should my dosage be increased or should i go back to taking it twice a day?

One thing to add, I suffer from anxiety, panic attacks, and occasional depression/mood-swings, so could my psychological state be in part responsible for my feelings?

I also suffer from terrible anxiety and with my first pregnancy with twins I was so terrified of the whole process as well as scared I would have an anxiety attack while in labor but once I actually got to the point, I didn't have a whole lot of time to focus on my actual anxiety. Now that I'm expecting again, I'm having the anxiety all over again and even more because I feel like I will fear the process more knowing exactly what I will encounter.

60 mg Drinking a lot of coffee can cause serious physical and mental health problems. You can experience insomnia, anxiety, panic attacks, palpitations, flushed face, lack of hunger and stomach complaints. A fatal dose of caffeine would be 10 grams of coffee or about 80 cups of coffee all at once. While you are not likely drinking anywhere near a fatal dose, you are probably experiencing some serious consequences from your heavy intake of caffeine. Are you addicted to the caffeine?
