Common Questions and Answers about How often do anxiety attacks occur
anxiety
I know how hard it is to convince your doctor that it's not " all in your head " and anxiety related.
Did you explain to your doctor everything you stated here?
If so, you may need to see a different doctor.
The nerve attacks that you mentioned...said they are brought on by the list above...caffeine, tobacco, faster computer games...these things can produce nervousness, especially when you have anxiety...tiredness and stress too...but the exercise is a different story.
Body aches can often occur with depression. Depression and anxiety often occur together because of the imbalance of the neurotransmitters in the brain. I recommend seeing a psychiatrist over a regular doctor. A psychiatrist would be able to address depression/anxiety with medication and therapy if that is the problem. However, make sure you have been checked for diabetes and potassium levels, since that could account for the sweats/dizziness.
You can do the exercises three times a day, but if the panic attacks try to come in between you need to do the exercises right away (at work, in your car, etc.). The results will surprise you, because with the breathing /relaxation exercises the attacks go away immediately. While you are taking medicine you need to be careful lifting weights because you are going to feel kind of weak.
For a long time now I have had what Dr's have stated are PVC's that occur anywhere from 3 to 15 times per day or more. I also have sever panic disorder due to severe anxiety that was diagnosed about 8 years ago. Sometimes my heart races so fast that I end up calling an ambulance to the house just to check me out and give me peace of mind but by the time they get there I have calmed down mostly just due to the fact that I know help is on the way.
It does sound like classic anxiety and panic attacks. What's funny about anxiety is that you really have no idea when it will strike and it is usually when you feel everything is fine. It sounds like you have had everything checked out thoroughly so have you thought about asking to speak to a therapist? I know it stinks being on meds, but if you need them now, it doesn't mean you will need them forever. My anxiety started after the birth of my 2nd daughter.
Anxiety attacks follow anxious thinking. If you're fully relaxed, that doesn't sound like an anxiety attack unless the anxiety is chronic and deeply rooted and comes out when it comes out. A month without a panic attack is great unless the reason is that you're avoiding the things that trigger them, in which case you still have the anxiety problem, you're just dodging it.
s being reported here. Anxiety attacks often seem to come from nowhere, but they are most often triggered by something your brain has decided is going to make you anxious. If you're getting symptoms with nothing in your life facing you that's become hard for you to do, and it's happening every day, the first thing I'd do is see my doctor and get a very very thorough check-up to see if this is something physiological rather than anxiety attacks.
I know exactly how you feel! I'm glad you found this place too, I just found it today! I have panic attacks & ended up in the ER twice within 3 days 5 years ago. Finally the ER nurse identified that I was having panic attacks & called my doc herself to get me Xanax because the medication they prescribed me the day before would take atleast 1-2 weeks to work!
I have viral vasculitis and often feel very poorly, I need to know why my spots keep reappearing when I think I am clear, it is almost like I have attacks and then the spots appear no one has told me to slow down so I still lead a very hectic life but get very scared when the attacks occur as I seem out of control, will I ever fully recover I have been ill for 6 weeks ow
There are natural treatments for this and medication as well. They often occur following a bout of anxiety, because they are caused by constriction of the blood vessels in the extremities and then a lot of blood flowing to the head as the vessels open. Meditation has been known to prevent them; it worked for me pretty much. Regular exercise helps as well. Both keep circulation at a more even keel even when one is anxious.
My 13 year old Miniature Pinscher has attacks that seem to be "fear"; shaking, panting and trying to get to a safe place, like the top of my head. I've ruled out things like critters under the house and the attacks are not convulsive. The attacks occur both day and night. Nothing I've tried seems to calm her. HELP PLEASE...it breaks my heart.
Background: Diagnosed w/ OCD (health obsessions, not compulsions), PTSD, PMDD, panic attacks
So after 5 very unsuccessful attempts at managing my extreme anxiety w/ medication (psychiatrist & PCP), my [new] PCP & I may have had a breakthrough w/ Zoloft. I'm currently taking 25 mg (we started low due to my intolerance of other SSRI's), but this time we combined it w/ .5mg of Xanax (.25mg 2x/day).
