I had a panic attack last night and was basically refused service at the hospital. It was early hours in the AM and I started to freak out because my pupils were MASSIVE. I've been on heavy drugs before and it looked like I was on heavy drugs. So anyway I stared into a mirror and just freaked myself out and then thought something was going on with my brain etc. and started getting worse sensations, and asked my boyfriend to take me to the hospital. When I got there I rang the buzzer and waited 5 mintues and nothing, and so I rang the buzzer another two times and the nurse comes out and yells at me that she's the only one on shift and I need to be more patient (Well sorry, I feel like I'm about to die) and then she must of recognised me and she says. What is it. Your anxious again. Have you taken your tablet? (Which I had taken half of). Then she goes on to say if you've taken your tablet theres nothing we can do. What do you expect me to do? I said you can't refuse to help me and then she goes on to say there's nothing much they can do and tells me to sit down. So I walked out the door while she was saying 'I didn't say we couldn't help you.' BASICALLY YOU DID. Some reassurance would of been nice? atleast check my obs? For all I knew I was dying at that very moment and I was getting told there's nothing they could do. I was supposed to be seen by a case worker today (child and adolescent mental health worker) but because of the New Years holiday there aren't any available til Thursday. Too bad if I wanted to neck myself off. I have a Drs appointment on Wednesday that im kind of looking forward too (more for the peace of mind aspect, and knowing If I am actually healthy) I'll be asking for a full medical, the works. I discovered two rockhard lumps on either side inside the crease of my groin which Im assuming are swollen lypmh nodes, Ive already been to the hospital after I found a gland in my neck that worried me and I was told that you should only really worry when they are rock hard...Well...Ofcourse I am now worried. I also woke up this morning with a pretty fast heart rate. I fekt this big wedge of anxiety in my chest. I had a shower and that seemed to make me feel a little better. All day I've been in this brain fog and I can't get out it's like I'm stuck in a dream. I've had chestpains too. I ate for the first time in three days so I think that might of helped a little. I haven't taken any of my meds today (Lexapro10mg and Zyprexa5mg) Because im afraid that's whats been causing me to feel like this. Has
anyone else experienced the following symptoms:
*Feeling like your brain isnt your own and something is wrong with it/and it's all foggy and extremely hard to think
*Random things popping into your head at random moments like the other day I was having a conversation with someone and out of the blue the word 'Redbull' jumped *into my head and I don't even know why/Not being able to remember things
*Not pains but sensations in your head
*Dilated pupils
*Muscle twitching (sometimes it's only part of a muscle that twitches)
*popping sound in head/popping ears
*Overall feeling of something not being right
*Extreme hypervigilance - and I mean extreme. I will jump at anything.
All replies would be greatly appreciated I am a 17 year old girl, is this common for anxiety? Also what would you advise on meds, are they making me more anxious? I have taken them before but then I stopped but now I'm trying to take them again, this would of been the third or fourth day on them if I had taken them. I have 7.5mg of Serepax(Oxazepam) left, should I take this to stop the anxious feeling or wait til I'm having an attack? please respond x
