Panic Attacks Support Group
A panic attack is a period of intense fear or discomfort, typically with an abrupt onset and usually lasting no more than thirty minutes. Symptoms include trembling, shortness of breath, heart palpitations, sweating, nausea, dizziness, hyperventilation, and sensations of choking or smothering. Panic attacks can be very sudden, appear to be unprovoked, and are often...
This panic attack scared me quite a bit. As any of you that have read my posts lately I have a heart condition, slightly. I have been dealing with panic for the last 8 years, but now when I have my panic attacks I do not know if it is just panic (scarey enough) or a real heart attack. The ER I believe is tired of seeing me and I get disgusted looks, but there are some decent people. I swear I just wish they would admit me for awhile until the cardiologists would go in and find out what is wrong, instead of, "here is a pill, goodluck." I still want to call 911 and go to the ER right now, but I feel SO stupid every time it is just a panic attack. Also, I am alone in the house so I don't have anyone to make sure, this is nothing more than fear. I know I am doing everything in my power to deal with my heart issues.
Right now due to the fear, I did take my valium to calm down. I am doing my belly breathing, and I am typing this message. Expressing my thoughts by putting them into words helps me calm down alot during panic attacks. I also have my meditation playing in the background, it too gives me a little calm even if I am not focused on it.
One of these days I believe I will find peace, and all of this will fade into the past. I hope those reading this find their peace too, and their anxiety and panic fades into a history of them over coming something this fear. We can do it.
Thanks for reading :)

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
I had a doctor that did this to me years ago. Worked very well. Her theory is that you need some peaceful time to recharge.
