No More Panic Attacks- My Story and how I beat them.

wow, amazing story, can relate so much!! proud of you man! hopefully we can all get back to optimum brain health!

thanks for sharing your story, it gives us all hope and motivation!

Thanks for your story, I see myself reflected in some places and it's very reassuring

I don't want anyone to think I'm a jerk but I saw the humour in the story because I too am recovered but only for six years. It was hell, but I survived and nothing is going to bring it back. Nothing. I spent time in the psych ward, interesting but like I told the shrinks, "it's a nice hotel but the beds lumpy and the food not that good". They sent me home to my local hospital. I had a broken leg also. I got sent there for talking suicide. When I got home I researched every thing on anxiety and panic and a few other related topics and built my own program based on CBT. It obviously worked. Sounds like your average 35 year old male with a good job etc etc. HA HA truth is I'm one step away from long term care, I have arthritis am 64 and single without a good reason to live but I'm going to anyway because I didn't put in all that work getting rid of anxiety to waste the time I have left. Keep working at it, you will find something that works. Oh, and smile so people don't know how scared you are.

Really inspirational! Thanks for sharing your story.

Great Story!

Thank you for sharing this

its scary like hell.
I been living with this for 20 plus years....
have controlled them to The point where I can at least LIVE and enjoy life!

My first panic attack was what I like to call a fake near death experience. I thought I was dying.

Thanks for sharing your post :D

I can also totally relate to this. I had a bit of a panic attack yesterday, and thought I was having heart failure issues. My wife says the same stuff to me, over and over. It passed. No heart problems. I've had all the tests in the recent past.

I went for a run today. Felt great.

The mind is such a powerful thing.

So inspiring.. Thanks for sharing your story...

its weird cos i never acknowledge that i have panic attacks. to me its intense anxiety where i could easily thump someone and if you knew me that is not like me at all. today i have had to push through the anxiety and depression, got the two today . i needed to get up town and do things. for me when it feels so much like supercharged turmoil. i will more than likely scream into a pillow and that helps!

"Hi, i have phobia of measuring my blood preasure,every time when i have panic attack i measure and rhe numbers are high,thats scare me :( what shoyuld i dooo

Uh, yeah, I've been there with the blood pressure machine and that is not fun. Purchasing one only increased my OCD so I thew it away. When you have anxiety your blood pressure will increase, and although 120/70 is normal, it's not unheard of to have the systolic pressure go up to 150 during times of panic. If the bottom number stays up around 90, this is where your doctor will wonder if you are hypertensive. Another reason for having the blood pressure increase could be too much sodium - should try to reduce it.

salvator here yes a have anxiety my normal BP is 120/80 or 130/80 during panic attack and some stress a got numbers of 150/80 160/85 90 my hart rate never gets up i im on 10 mg escitalopram about 4 months ,my blood picture and EKG are ok should a messure my BP often. i dont have any hadache or other symptomhs of high blood preasure 10x..

Good to know your EKG is normal. Anxiety and panic will mess with your BP, so best to just try to allow the attack to pass (It will - trust me). Please follow your doctors orders, and if this means to monitor your BP; please do so per doctors order along with any medications prescribed. Best of luck :)

Hi salvador im am in perfcet shape dont have any tryglicerides,my hart is in good condition i am fitness trainer this panic attack begin after my friend wedding a drunk to much alchohol that night since then a have this anxiety feel in the past 2 months a dont have panic attack but a dont feel like old me :D do u have ani solutions or recomendation. my english is not very good :D

The new you, is YOU - shaped (but not defined) by things you've learned and experienced. The old you is rarely an improved version of your true self, and constant pining of getting back your old self will only hold you back from moving forward. As long as your test results have come back fine, I'd be fairly secure in knowing you're healthy. I'm wondering if something happened at your friends wedding that triggered this anxiety? Doubt the alcohol you drank caused permanent anxiety though. I've no solutions, but my recommendation would just to work on keeping yourself in good shape both mentally as well as physically :)

10 q Veryyy Much !!!!

Great story! Loved the detail... I can definitely relate. I've been through the heart-attack/ambulance routine three times now. Can't seem to get passed the heart-attack feeling, but working on it. One thing that's been helping lately - telling myself in my head that I can't die of a heart attack. It really is next to impossible - 28 years old, active, good diet. Maybe I should tell myself out loud like you did.

Great Story! Thank you for sharing

:p
I found a Natural remedy for Anxiety that really works. CBD oil is a Natural remedy for Anxiety.
A month age we found a mint breath spray that has CBD oil in it.
The great thing about CBD is has many medical benefits and no side affects.Attachment 1667

I am coping with anxiety with the Natural pen. It has been a God Send.
I got tired of the "happy pills" and knew there had to be a all natural remedy for anxiety.
Try it Attachment 1684

good for you

What an outstanding story. I can relate to much of it and Im sure many others can. Good stuff

Thank you for the share!

It's a really good story. Like it.

Screaming at it! I am so excited to try this idea!

you cannot "beat" anxiety, it is always in you/with you. You may have periods where you're feeling better about things going on in your life, and thus the anxiety will dissipate, but, never make the mistake of thinking the anxiety won't return if issues arise again.

Great story brother, I appreciate the time it took for you to write it down and share it with the world

Thank you for sharing your story!

amazing sharing thank you for this

Wow! All I can say is that after so many years of over coming this you had the courage to write about it. Your experience and overcoming it was very up lifting to me. This actually brought tears to my eyes as I'm sitting here with my chest tight from Anxiety. I too deal with panic attacks, however my main issue is overcoming my anxiety which in turn is causing the attacks. Thank you so much for sharing.
