    • About Me

      I am a pretty healthy 25 year old guy. I was raised by a single mother so of course I am a momma's boy. I've been with my girlfriend for four years now and have helped her raise her son. I work security in detroit which sounds like a dangerous and high stress job, but I can assure you that it is a pretty easy going job.

    • Close Panic Attacks

      a month a half ago I experienced my first panic attack. my limbs got a tingle sensation. my heart began to race. I became very nauseous and dizzy and felt as if I was going to pass out. the episode had passed and I figured it could have been my acid reflux because I had just finished eating. two weeks ago I was diagnosed with pleurisy and pneumonia of the lungs and I have had three panic episodes during that time. my doctor believes the attacks are a result of my illness and all the stress my body is under. i've lost a significant amount of weight these past 2 weeks and haven't eaten much. I have taken ativan during these episodes and they help a bit in calming me, however, I do not want to rely on meds for this illness. if I can do something to nip these attacks in the butt then I will do it. I do know that I feel much better when reading other peoples accounts of panic and anxiety disorders.

      Treatments

      Ativan Somewhat Helpful
      helped to calm my nerves and slo my heart rate, however, tends to make me extremely drousy.
      Zoloft Too Soon to Tell
      I took zoloft for three days before I had my first panic attack. out of fear I stopped taking the zoloft thinking I had a reverse affect on it.
    • Close Pleurisy

      I was diagnosed with pleurisy and pneumonia 2 weeks ago. the major pain went from my left rib up to my shoulder and around to my back. I took pain meds and a trip to the ER. once the pneumonia was diagnosed I received antibiotics. the pain subsided a week and a half ago but my loss of appetite and weight loss are still lingering. I have been having panic attacks and my nerves have been on edge the past 2 weeks. it could be that i'm stressed from being sick as well as not being able to eat anything. when I do eat I become extremely nauseous. I am joining this group in the hopes that I will feel comforted knowing I am not the only person experiencing these hellish symptoms.

      Treatments

      Doxycycline Somewhat Helpful
      the antibiotics helped to fight the infection and helped the pleuritic pain more so than any other pain med.
    • Open GERD & Heartburn

      I am a 25-year-old male with usually good health. I have suffered from acid reflux for years. I've recently began experiencing panic attacks after eating. It has occured whether I was eating greasy foods or healthy foods. When I googled my symptoms what came up was GERD and IBS. I am joining this group so that I can begin to communicate with others who may have the same symptoms.

      Treatments

      Zantac Somewhat Helpful
      I take zantac for acid reflux however the problems I am having with my stomach have gotten worse.
