Help help: I am struggling with a serious panic disorder…has anyone made it thru this and have any advice? - Help.com

Have you tried lavender, it is a natural calmer, try washing your clothe in a little bit of it. also stay away from peppermint

I have had panic attacks, but I wouldn’t say I have a panic disorder, so I can’t totally relate. However, I know there are a lot of techniques that counselors use to help with these kinds of things. Have you seen a counselor about this?

well ive tried lots of things but nothing seems to help and my personal life isnt helping either….and im extremelly woried about talking to a counsler…..ive had serious consleing all my life and its helped to a point but it seems that they always want to give me some pill…but it goes against what i feel is right for me becuase i used to suffer from a substance abuse problem

I slap my face repeatedly until it is bright red and stinging. One time, I actually burst some blood vessels because I just couldn’t stop. I was in line at a theater. Eventually, the panic feeling just goes away.

panic attacks are psychological, when one occurs take deep breath and exhale through mouth a few times. This is a disorder that affects many people unexpecatedly. If this fails carry a bag and blow into it and exhale through nose.
Panic attack are often a sign of unhappiness in your life, find the problem and you will be fine. Don’t worry these normaly pass.

i have had soooo many panic attacks before :S i have really high anxiety so that kinda causes me too.. but i know. its really, really hard.
im starting to get a lot better but im still not 100% yet. my advice to you is go see a doctor, maybe get some meds. also when oyur having a panic attack just sit down somewhere comfortable and just concentrate on your breathing. take slow, deep breaths in and out and with every breath you take say a number so youre counting up. it helps you focous on things other than your panic attack. cuz if you keep worrying about having a panic attack, you most likely will. if you need any moore advice feel free to give me a shout!
good luck!! =)

i just started having what i believe to be panic attacks about 6 months ago. the first time my blood pressure was 200/100. two weeks later i had another and my blood pressure rose to 210/105. this happens in less than a minute and each time my potassium has been low enough that i recieved potassium in the hospital.

i have had a cardiac cath, echo, 24-hour halter, CT scan and MRI of my kidneys. everything is ok except i produce too much aldosterone which makes me lose potassium and raises my blood pressure. i am on a medication for high blood pressure and to retain potassium.

now by blood prssure does not seem to be an issue but i have had 2 episodes in which my pulse rate goes from 80-120 and 80-122 in under a minute.

i am also taking zanax and my doctor prescribed lexapro which i don’t like.

i am 55 years old. have never suffered from panic attacks in the past or high blood pressure or high pusle rate. nothing signigicant in my life has changed. these have happened while i have been at work thinking of nothing else or late at night when in bed and during the middle of a pleasant conversation. any suggestions?
