I was dying. Yes I was. How did I survive. Not really know. BP shoots to 175/135. PULSE 153. The worsed of panic attacks of all times. No major cause was behind there but I don't know how it happened. Fighting hard to live more

Have you seen a professional yet? Has this happened in the past before? If so what is the frequency of panic attacks? I need this information if I'm going to process information and offer anything I find or know.
Yes I did visit a professional. Twice a years ago. She prescribed me esitaloploram 10mg. I took it for 8 months and then stopped. After that my conditions were started to worse and worse every day. Know this panic attack was very hard to get out of it.
Why did you stop your meds? I think you need to go back to your doctors and go back on meds and also ask about counselling. it seems clear that this is not just going to pass and that it is getting worse like you said so you do need to ask for help. It's not easy I know but it needs to be done.
I thought that I am okay and strong enough to live without those meds.
But later I found myself wrong. I am in trouble. Would I be able to get out of this ever?
Hi well I can't see why not if you go back on the same meds which helped you before.
The golden rule is to make sure you feel better for at least 6 months before you attempt to stop them and only do it very slowly under a doctors instructions.
Counselling can help you to get to the bottom of your anxiety and to learn techniques for coping with it or even recovering completely.
I'm so glad you found something that worked for you! You should not stop your meds until you talk to a Dr and the Dr okays it. Since it was helping, go back to your Dr and tell him/her the truth and get back on the meds. Then when you feel that you are better and want to go off the meds, ask your Dr to see what he/she thinks. Do what they tell you, and complain if you don't agree with them and ask them why.
I understand your fear of dying with BP and heart rate like that. I was in the ER just recently for 145 heartbeats/min with lower BP than yours due to self-induced anxiety. While there, they told me sometimes cops come in after an arrest with BP 230/130 and heart rate at 170. I just tell you that so you know people do sometimes have higher numbers and live to fight another day.
Did you look at the ADAA options? What did you think of them?
I know what you are going through ...Same thing happening to me as well...
I agree that you need to see your doctor and restart medication. Keep in mind that if you have a chronic condition then it needs to be treated as such. If it's complex then the treatment will likely be as well but that is why we have doctors, to help us find our way. Please make an appointment and follow through.
