Anyone else get this?

[Cric3033]

I've recently been diagnosed with a panic disorder and health anxiety as well as trauma after months of suffering continuous panic attacks and anxiety. I'm currently in the process of upping my amtryplin and decreasing my mirtazipine. I'm having episodes where I feel tight chested and that I can't breathe. It starts off in my stomach and works its way up and when it gets to the point where I feel like I'm not going to be able to take a breath and my body goes all weird allike it isn't my own. This is just one form of panic attack I suffer from does anyone else get this feeling?

I get it also and it’s awful . I’ve tried deep breathing and try to distract myself from it .

Yeah that doesn't work for me. I just have to sit it out

Deep breathing doesn’t work for me either! It’s the worst feeling ever. I usually just have to sit somewhere I feel safe (for me that means getting away from people) and wait for it to stop. I don’t know if it’s a productive means of dealing with it, but I always end up okay after I do that.

I think that if your address the trauma of the past panic attacks, you will have more control over panic attacks. Its all related and the more panic attacks you have the harder it will be to let the panic attacks go. Nip it in the bud and speak to a therapist about it. I wish you good luck.
