Avatar n tn My mom was pregnant with twins and a cna. She worked all the way up until labor as well. I couldn't because I had awful pregnancy induced anxiety attacks all the time. I ended up putting my 2 weeks in at 15 weeks and I've been a stay at home mom since.
Avatar f tn I have had some changes in my life( new boyfriend and elderly mom giving me problems) recently I have started having panic attacks and feeling down again. Do I need a change or increase in my meds.
Avatar f tn The other possibilities are anemia, thyroid conditions and anxiety and panic attacks. Get your hormone levels, hemoglobin levels and thyroid function tests done to rule out these conditions. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
1348086 tn?1370783185 Anxiety is showing it's ugly head again. I was wondering if this happens to everyone. One anxiety spell, I will be dizzy and short of breath. Another time it will be stomach cramps and gas. Sometimes my heart is racing 120 bpm. Sometimes I feel achy all over. It seems that here lately my anxiety attacks never bring out the same symptoms.
Avatar f tn im 9 weeks going on 10 thursday , im 16 . and ive been having anxiety attacks too . i went to the hospital and they give you meds to calm you down . but you have to talk to your doctor about the meds.
Avatar f tn My youngest son is also in his final year of university and I can relate, through him, what you must be going through. He is fortunate that he did not (as yet) inherit any of my anxiety problems. His anxiety is totally understandable, being centered around all the finals and papers and study, his job and his boyfriend and no sleep.................but last week he came down with strep throat and went to the college infirmary. Does your college have one?

Avatar f tn 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.

Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn t know it was social anxiety until about 6 months ago, I just thought it was me. Over the past year or so I have been getting anxiety and panic attacks which are taking over my life, i dont know what braught them on but its really starting to scare me...
Avatar f tn Hi I am 35 years old and I have been having anxiety attacks for about 5 years now. They are really bad and it is hard for me to go anywhere or talk to anyone. I am afraid that I will have an anxiety attack around other people. I was never like this, I used to work and go everywhere and do everything for myself but now I can't even step outside my front door without feeling anxious and scared. It is so embarassing for me I'd rather stay in my house where no one can see me.
