That sounds pretty scary @Jess91 especially if you don't realise what is happening at first.I
Iwent to a e with what I thought was a heart attack I cud not breath room was spinning my arms n legs shaking I cudnt stand up I was put on a bloody stretcher .it was just a panic attack! I thought I was dying?! Sent home 2/hours later all well bye bye
Gosh that sounds really rubbish.Two nights ago I was having trouble sleeping and started to feel a dull pain running from my left arm pit all the way to the tips of my middle fingers. Really thought it was just a pain from maybe lying on my arm some way. So eventually went downstairs and got a glass of water and tried to shake it out but to no avail. Low and behold, two minutes later I was starting to get dizzy and sweating from head to toe. I went upstairs and woke my brother to help i I needed it. BTW, my son was in bed at the time as he was staying with me(he's 3). So I had that stresser too. Anyway, ambulance called and soon there were 5 paramedics in my livingroom trying to figure out if I was having a heart attack. They did an ecg and it was a bit off given I was so wound up. Then I started to slake from head to toe as all the heat left my body. So now I'm having trouble even communicating as my teeth are chattering so much. An absolute mess at this point. So to cut a long story short...... i spent around 14hrs in the hospital being monitored and getting bloods done. No conclusive results but heart ruled out.
So, this has been plaguing me for a few years now and the last time they did and angiogram which was pretty scary. I'm actually lying here in bed now with my son trying to get past a very slight episode which came on an hour or so ago. I'm thinking constantly that it's fine and just to stay calm but I just wish that was all it took. Sometimes it starts completely out of the blue which makes it quite uncontrollable. I hate this so much
Thanks Rinka, yeah I'm sure there are a number of triggers, I seperated from my wife a half year ago but in fairness that's probably a good thing as it all started from the stress I was under while with her. I'm going through a lot of changes right now just reorganising my life which is hard going. I think my insomnia is a huge problem. If I'm not sleeping well at all then I'm generally going to be feeling low and that's half of it I think. If you're exhausted you are more likely to come down with anything you are susceptible toGosh that sounds really rubbish.
I’m not a doc, but it sounds quite like a panic attack.
Do you know about any triggers in your live? Identifying what triggers such reactions can help you preventing or avoiding situations.
I hope you start feeling better soon and can relax a bit in bed.
Yea I can imagine that all those changes trigger it.Thanks Rinka, yeah I'm sure there are a number of triggers, I seperated from my wife a half year ago but in fairness that's probably a good thing as it all started from the stress I was under while with her.
