Jittery me being spooky all of the time,

[jittery me]

Hello folks, I am glad I found this forum. I began having panic attacks only recently, about 6 months now and I must say they are getting worse.
I have always been a hyper electric person but always care free , worry about nothing.
I must say that this is the scariest thing I've ever gone through. My blood pressure is constantly up and my heart races. Terrible headaches as well.
My attacks come out of no where and my bp flys high. My Doc gave me Lorazapam which really helped at first but not so much now.
I have even had a cat scan.Everything fine.

I sure wish I knew what is happening to me. I worry about everything. Every silly thing. I never used to be like this. Will it ever ever stop? Am I stuck with this for life? Jittery me.:

Have to seek some medical advice here before it gets any worse, especially if you just started to have panic attacks and now worrying about everything.
This is how it manifest, and grows within you causing the head aches and increased BP.
There are medications that can be of more help to you then the Lorazapam, possibly an AD to help you "adjust" the brain chemicals and the thought patterns and processes.
Also a beta blocker to help lower your BP and also to block the adrenaline dump so your anxiety isn't so noticeable to you and can also help with those terrible head aches too.
Have you ever had a hormone screen performed? Just curious...
Hope that helps Jittery Me..

Thanks for your answer. Yes, I take beta blockers but that doesn't really help. I seem to want to keep moving. Go some where, get there, want to go some where else. I sure hope this isn't a life long thing. I try to talk myself out of this but doesn't work. Cannot concentrate. Geeze, I feel my life is a mess.

Hi there,

Welcome to the forum :)

I've had this damn anxiety all my life pretty much (am 40 now). That said, it comes and goes in intensity and you do learn to manage it. So the short answer is, no you won't always feel as horrible as you do now.

Take it easy..
