I came across something that has been a great help to me. Nasal steroid spray. I never realized first that I had allergies, and second how bad they were. When I got on this spray, I was able to breath better and this has help my overall feeling, more than I ever thought could be.
I have a question for those diagnosed with anxiety attacks, after the attack do you feel completely exhausted and a headache that feels like someone is squeezing your brain? My episodes start by feeling my heart flip flop, than my heart beats very rapid and then I start yawning uncontrollably, really Long deep yawns as if I can't get enough oxygen, my chest feels tight and as if it's being squeezed. After these syptoms have passed I feel so tired and want to sleep. I've had all the usual tests and other than a mitral valve click I was told there was nothing wrong. My Dr started me on Bata-blockers, but they made everything worse and I had real chest pain and shortness of breath. Not sure where to go from here, any suggestions?
Hello not sure how old this is or if anyone will read it but it's worth a try. I am a 21 ur old female I had my first panic attack at 18 which I was convinced was a heart attack and followed up with my family doc which referred me to a cardiologist just to shut me up the cardio then sent me to an electrophysiologist who diagnosed me with an over active sa node and put Me on a beta blocker all was well until I turned 21 everything came flooding back the anxiety and panic and er trips every second of the day I think I'm going to die I'm scared all day unless I am asleep my biggest question would be is this my heart or my panic disorder pray for me
I have had anxiety for years, which made me think i was having a heart attack which was scary, but i recently really did have a heart attack, and didnt even know it. Happened to be in hospital for some thing else. Now, everytime i do get anxiety, i am fearful it may be a heart attack. How can i know the difference? I can't run and get checked everytime or id be in the er every day. dont know what to do. It driving me crazy.
One more thing, have them also check your magnesium levels. You need 1/2 the amount that you get from calcium. Both of these help relax you.
Have your doctor check your potassium levels. This is not check often enough and can cause many of the issues you speak of. Cut back on process foods- even out to eat, and start adding more potassium foods- Oranges, Kale, chicken thighs, plain yogurt, just to name a few.
