Feeling after a painc attack?

[Cara1989]

Do y'all feel weird after a panic attack? I had one earlier and now I feel really detached like brain dead :(

[LittleBlondie]

After i have one i feel like i just wanna go asleep x

[temperancebrennan]

Yeah I feel really sleepy & achy after an attack. I just want to be alone in my room afterwards & watch something funny on tv.
Takes a while & then I feel nervous about it happening again. Or I feel ashamed that I couldn't stop it from happening.

What are your coping techniques?

[Cara1989]

Whenever I panic I have to write to snap out of it I keep a journal lol I call it my crazy journal other then that a lot of self talk finally it will pass :/

[temperancebrennan]

Do you just write what you're feeling at that point? Or write random things?
It's good that you do have a distraction though. Do they happen often?

They eased up alott I still get them like 1 every other day :/ I write what I'm scared of and its not likely to happen or I just write about breathing and that I been through this before ect it really helps I started doing it not to long ago since I'm pregnant can't really take meds so I need somemore coping techniques lol

[temperancebrennan]

It seems like a good way. I've heard that journalling can be therapeutic for anxiety. Have you tried any herbal remedies to help?
Awh, when are you due?

[Ahlstrom]

I hit the sack.

Yep I feel really foggy like I can't concentrate on anything because all I'm thinking about is how I'm feeling. Sometimes I feel drunk or something.
I also feel exhausted!!

Did u get attacks before you were pregnant? Mine started after a miscarriage last year then I had another one 6 months later and I'm trying to get pregnant again but scared my anxiety and panic attacks caused my miscarriage. How do u cope with them whilst pregnant??

No I haven't tried any herbal remedies I live in a very small town and I haven't been driving because of the panic so its really difficult for me to get to a store with that kind of stuff I'm due febuary 9th :)

Maybe you could order online. I ordered a custom Bachs remedy from the Internet. It's from America, so it'll take a while to reach me in the UK, but I'm hoping it might help.
Oh wow that's so close! Do you know if you're having a boy or a girl? :)

Yes ill have to look them up online :) ill try anything at this point its a little boy! And at the moment he's got his leg trying to poke out of my side hurts so bad lol

I used the Feel Bach website. I think it's $14 for each bottle.
Have you been tested for any deficiencies? I'm going to get checked for B12 next time I'm at my doctors I think

No I haven't I don't think ill have to ask my doctor go in tuesday

[temperancebrennan]

It might be worth it. I've seen a few things on here about B12 deficiency being a cause of anxiety & it's common in vegetarians (which I've been for 12 years).
At the very least, if there's something else that you're deficient in then having supplements to sort that may help.

[Cara1989]

Well I take my prenatal vitimans everyday wonder if it might not be enough

[temperancebrennan]

It's a possibility. Have your doctor test for B12 & vitamin D. I'm going to ask for the same when I go back next week.
Worth a shot anyway :)

[sandyrdh1]

Yes I am b12 and D deficient. I do shots every 2 week now. I still have some anxiety but they say it could take months and month to maybe get back to normal. Your doctor can test you.

[tic]

I tiers but can't sleep worry about it happening again and to sore to sleep my whole body aches after ward

[dazza]

I hit the sack.

What, even if you're at work? lol

[Cara1989]
