So I've been dealing with extremely bad panic attacks for weeks now and it's been affecting my sleeping because I keep jumping up and my hearts begins to race fast, I'm having shortness of breath, my head feels weird from my sinus probably and my arms and legs feel funny. I keep telling myself there's nothing wrong with me and I've been to the doctor and hospital many times and I've been told I'm physically ok. I just feel like my body is refusing what they say...now it keeps continuing and I'm trying my best not to stress continuously..I don't know what to do..
I don't know what's going on with me... - Anxiety and Depre...
I don't know what's going on with me...
I understand. I get severe panic attacks. My body reacts in many ways and I can't sleep which is why I'm up now. I did breathing exercises. My arms and legs keep flailing, my breathing is heavy, I'm sweaty and clammy. I didn't want to keep my boyfriend up so I went into another room. I tell myself I'm safe, but my mind and body continue in the attacks. My body has reacted to my mental health state in ways I didn't know could happen. But I'm trying to listen to some calm music and talk to others that can identify. It is helping. I hope you can find something to help. It is difficult for me to cope with these things but possible.
Thank you...my mom suggests I run some tests in my head 'cause my head feels weird all the time. I don't know if I strain my eyes too long for it to be like that or something else..but I hope you're getting better too.
Thank you. I wish you well. If you need to chat, I'm here. I went to a neurologist a few years ago. I understand.
I get what I call 'zings'in my head from anxiousness and panic attacks. Noone close to me understands.
I thought it was just me that experienced 'zings' ! I know exactly what you mean, it weird and can happen several times a night for me, along with whole body jerks 😟 when I get genuinely I'll I believe this time I'm going to die. I feel your pain
Obviously, make sure you don't have something physical going on that's causing these issues. Make an appointment with your GP or someone professional you can see just to rule out something going on with your body. Panic attacks can be brought on by sooooooo many things - it can be something simple or complex. Fortunately, if it's brought on by a mental trigger and you know what it is, perhaps you can prevent it. Or, on the other hand, doing some good breathing exercises and positive talk can really make a difference. Having plan ready each time you feel these coming on really has helped me. That way, when I start to feel like I am feeling the early symptoms, I can often make them less severe or at least less stressful. Whatever you do, try and find help, and not suffer alone! It's too hard doing this solo.
Last of all, remember these are EXTREMELY common and we suffer together.
It sounds like you are deficient in magnesium since that is what it does. Take it every evening, start out with 600mg then lower to 400mg daily. The best magnesium for anxiety esp. is magnesium glycinate or mag. malate. Don't get mag. citrate as it gives diarrhea. Stressful times deplete mag. and yet is very needed in stress too. Hope this helps you also.
