panics
hey im 32 ive been dealng with anxiety and anic attacks for atleast 3years now. what bothers me the most is that i start feeling shaky at first it starts with my stomach feeling weird then my legs get weak it feels like im going to collapse. then thats when i start panicking to a point when i feel somethings going to happen but it never does ive been to the dr done alot of test heart and brain test everything is fine but it keeps happening and its to a point that i hate this sh@#. does anybody feel the same or is it me.
Really! Three years can feel like an eternity. You need to really let your doctor know that you want relief. If he is not willing to come up with a plan, find a new doctor right away. It's time to feel better. Your happiness is a very important issue. Deal with it. We are rooting for you and hope everything turns around soon. Hang in there.
No Toots, it's NOT just you. Millions of us out here suffer with the same issues, but the good news is that there is a lot of help for us. Therapy or therapy combined with medication can help you get to the root cause of your anxiety/panic. Once you figure out why it's happening, face it and learn to deal with it, you WILL get your life back. It takes work, but the option is to waste your life being anxious and afraid.
You've had a great many procedures done that have ruled out a physical cause for your anxiety, which should be a great relief. Now you need to think about getting into therapy to deal with what is making you panic.
What I find very difficult to understand is why none of the doctors you saw discussed the possibility of anxiety/panic and tried you on a benzo to see if that helped. To let you go on for three years suffering with this is quite lackadaisical on their part. You might want to think about a new doctor, one who actually reads medical journals.
I wish you the best of luck
