Having a bad one and having no one!

[DustinS85]

I believe I am having a bad panic attack (either that or I am literally having trouble breathing and may die)... Worst part is that I have no one to talk to!

Go ahead and tell me what's wrong.

I have trouble breathing and felt like someone was pressing on my head. Then I am feeling pressure on my chest. My Blood pressure is normal (Diastolyc on high side). Heart rate in 90's and 100's, but goes to normal here and there. Pressure in head, and tingling in face, hands, and feet. I am also feeling tight around my throat. Tightness/pressure in shoulder blade area. I am worried it is a stroke or heart attack.

You can always go to the ER if you think it's serious enough. I'm not a doctor, so I don't want to tell you what to do. Does this happen a lot?

[DustinS85 in reply to jkl5500]

Am at ER...ECG/EKG is normal, and I am waiting on blood work and X-ray to be read.

[DustinS85 in reply to jkl5500]

They gave me Ativan (Lorazepam), and it just makes me feel high and anxious still.

[jkl5500 in reply to DustinS85]

I use Ativan myself. It usually cuts down the anxiety level quite a bit.

I feel like I just smoked some weed except it was super fast acting. Granted it was through IV and not oral.

Did you check out physically OK when the docs examined you?

I am here, how are you doing now? Did it pass?

Are you feeling better

[DustinS85 in reply to Hidden]

The Ativan the ER gave me definitely took the sever edge off. I am still anxious, but it doesn’t feel remotely as bad.

[DustinS85]

I am definitely tired and it is like 6hrs later.
