Yes. Two years ago I had one a day. Sometimes more. You need to find a way to calm yourself down!! What's going on in your life? What stresses you out or upsets you?

I have had this happen, I have noticed it especially right after a menstrual cycle - it has helped me to make sure I get plenty of rest to break the "all day" feeling of the PA - or I would try to locate the stressor of what might be triggering it. I hope it breaks for you soon!

Hi panicbear,

I just went through 4 days of PAs. It started last Thursday night, and I had several "small" PAs up through Monday afternoon. I was on high anxiety all weekend. This had never happened to me before. My PAs used to be pretty short (15 minutes or so) and only happen once every few months.

I've had a lot of stress and too little sleep recently, and I'm pretty sure that's what cause all of the anxiety. I start seeing a therapist tomorrow.

It was scary today - I overdid it running up and down the stairs to do laundry, and I got winded. That feeling was very similar to how I felt all weekend with the panic, and I got really worried that I was going to have another attack. So far so good, though.

Do you have someone to talk to or something you can do to relax yourself?

Have you been run down and exhausted by work, life? Exhaustion is a great opportunity for anxiety to come knocking. And if an attack occurs, we are mindset to keep thinking about having another one...like earthquake aftershocks.
