Just got a panic attack , it wasnt so severe, got to use some breathing and relaxation techniques , couldnt resist to measure my bp but as i practiced my breathing and trying to relax the highest it got was like a 130/85 ..not like before where i would panic and get a reading of 150/100 or something , and then it dropped back to a normal 108/70 .. im kinda dissapointed that i got a panic attack eventhough i cant control it , but i feel that i had overcame some of my fears, its fine though a step back but i can keep going 
thanks for everyone for the advices on panic attacks , i tried to stay calm eventhough i could hear my heart in my throat , and my bp just kept rising on the machine but i kept trying to breathe, i going to start trying to ditch the monitors and try to live without worrying as much , because it made me realize how im fine and im not dying just because my bp rises , i still worry that this chronic anxiety and fear of getting a heart attack will eventually cause something and i wont be able to come on the stress and weight of weeks and months of stress will get to me , but i hope it doesnt ..please tell me it doesnt

Panic attack
It doesn't. Xx
Haha thank you
Lol, seriously though... It doesn't.
Yes deep down im aware, after seeing all my fears not coming true, when this started i would think something bad will happen every day ..but it didnt, i still worry sometimes but its not controlling me , i just tend to otherthink that eventhough my bp rises maximum to a 150/100 when i panic which is still not crazy high and whenever i feel fine it goes back to 110/70 or lower ..but sometimes when i feel very upset the bad thoughts are easier to get in, and im worried that i will stay like this
Go to Youtube: Type Dr. Barry panic attacks and click on the video that is about 13 mins. Let me know. I beat my panic attacks thanks to that video. It surely does wonders!
I’m new to this I’ve been having the same physical symptoms
Palpitations and severe anxiety that I’m having a heart attack I’ve even had a full work up and I’m still convinced drs are missing something I’m pregnant so limited of any medication to take to ease my anxiety...it’s so scary do you get chest pain and muscle aches
That must feel even worse than i do , its ok though i felt the same way , to me the most intense panic attack was in december, my bp was super high, i was vomiting , just panicking that im going to die and i cant control anything , my mind was blank but at the same time racing with thought , my heart was beating with such force i felt it was going to stop any moment , but when nothing happened and i started to calm eventhough inwas still worried a bit, and seeing people here realizing out exoeriences are so similar that we all go to doctors and get the clean bill of health and realize its in our heads, and when we do it gets easier , trust me if the doctors say youre fine you are , for me its no longer just about fearing a heart attack , its that i panic sometimes over irrational thoughts , and to me its so scary because u never know what tomorrow will bring , andim worried that i cant face what happens but each time we do ..its scary but im not saying we cant get through it
Hi Kevin!
I've found some great ways to deal with the scary thoughts and I'll share them with you very soon as I think they may help... sorry, gotta get somewhere right now and I don't want to rush through this great info that others taught me 
Haha no no its fine , take all the time you need
Sounds like you r doing better Kevin. That's great news👍
Ya its getting easier
I get heart palpitations and chest pain. I have been trying to change my diet and meditate. There have been days when I would go symptom free, but then remember them and my body would feel them again. Try visualizing that you have no palpitations. What would it feel like? Who is this new version of yourself that is anxiety free and palpitation-free? How does she act? Walk? Feel? Keep doing this technique for a few days.
This is similar to me , where somedays i feel fine and that i can go on normally , but other times i just cant get those mental and physical symptoms away from me , and it becomes more scary to deal with them , i will surely try your idea hopefully it helps ..thank you for the help really appreciate it
I believe heart attacks are not caused by stress. Heart attacks are caused by bad diet: eating too much saturated fat which causes hardening of the arteries and eventually blockages.
This is not your problem, Kevin, people who are your age aren't allowed to have heart attacks.
Remember, just accept the panic attack for the moment, let it wash over you and rush past you like a wave on the shore. Do not fight it, don't rise to the challenge, do not seek to avoid it, face it without need for fear.
Forget about your bp, it is not a problem in your case, your bp is just reacting to anxiety in the normal way, it settles down nicely before long. All is well.
Yes thats true , but i mean since i have seen that it rises when i panic , sometimes it gets to me
You should worry if it doesn't rise when you panic, that would be unusual😉
Yes, but i panic and obsess alot about it , day and night , its like a cycle , i know it rises when i stress and can get a panic attack , then i start panicking because the thought scares me , and it just goes on , i feel nausea and shakiness
So what if it rises when you feel stressed, it does for the rest of us here. It doesn't matter. As I always say, you can't cure yourself of an illness you don't have no matter how hard you try.
Instead of spending time and effort worrying about an illness you don't have, why not focus on the illness you do have - anxiety disorder.
The answer is simply to accept the bad feelings for the time being. Accept, accept, accept.
Because you can't both fear and accept a symptom.
hi kev,hope you manidge to get over it,it gets you confused when everthing happens at once,stick it out kev.peek
