Panic attack?

[pI77ow99]

I have had several panic attacks in ranging strength, but recently I've been having different attacks. They typically happen at night.

My whole body will be shaking, my breathing only gasps if at all and my heart will be heating fast and the sound is blurred, these have been happening every night for the last 2 weeks!

These feel different than my other panic attacks.

* I have depression, anxiety, and moderate PTSD

Any idea?

I'm sorry that you're experiencing this, and understandably it is concerning since you said they don't feel like your previous panic attacks. Have you bit your tongue during these attacks? Any visual disturbances? Are you completely aware of your surroundings when it happens? Can you speak during the episode (try speaking a few words out loud next time it happens). These are questions your doctor may ask to rule out possible seizure activity. I get mild shakes in my neck at night upon waking and my doc immediately honed in on seizures and asked all these questions (turns out it's not seizures in my case) It might be a good idea to get checked out by a physician.

This happened to me too, when my panic attacks got really bad! Try some lavender and try relaxing a little bit more before bed. The more afraid of them you are, the worst they get!

They are horrible aren’t they!

They definitely come and go, I hadn’t had one for maybe 6 months or more then suddenly this morning I felt a panic attack coming on.

I managed to keep it almost under control and it didn’t get too out of hand, but the rest of the day has just been one anxious hell.

Even though these attacks you are having feel different to you, they still sound like a panic attack. Be strong when you feel one coming on & keep trying to tell yourself to breathe slowly, tell yourself you’re going to be okay because no matter how horrible the symptoms, you are okay.

I hope you feel better soon ♥️
