sesame asked:


I have terrible nerves and panic, especially in such scenarios. I used to take it to sleep a while ago, as needed, but now I found some left over and have not had some for months. I need something to calm down but dont want to be zombie or appear impaired.

im thinking like 0.5-0.75mg? any offers or suggestions of when I should take it before presentation?

I will be taking beta blockers as well.

xanax

Before we dive into learning the different types of panic attacks, it may be worthwhile to first clarify the difference between anxiety and panic. In our daily communications, people tend to use these two terms interchangeably without realising their difference. Sure, these two have lots of in common with respect to their symptoms, but panic attacks usually last only a short while, though more intense. As a contrast, anxiety strikes you more gradually, is less intense, but lasts longer.

Based on whether a panic attack connects to a triggering situation and how it connects to such situations, panic attacks are grouped into three types:

1. Unexpected Panic Attacks

This type of attack is often associated with panic disorder. It occurs spontaneously without any clear reasons, and irrespective of whether you are relaxing or working. This means that we can hardly relate the occurrence of a spontaneous attack to any specific situation or place. As you may have seen in the movies, people can be awakened from sleep with this type of attack.

2. Situationally-bound Panic Attacks

As its name suggests, this type of panic attack is triggered by a specific situation. For example, if you fear flying or public speaking, exposure to these situations will result in immediate panic attacks. This ‘cued’ attack is rarely experienced in panic disorder.

3. Situationally-predisposed Panic Attacks

This type of panic attack is similar to the above one in that it is also triggered by a specific situation. However, the difference is that the attacks only sometimes occur and may not always occur immediately after exposure to the feared situation. For example, if flying is your feared situation, there are times when you take a flight without having a panic attack. However, in some other times, you do not suffer panic attack until you finish your journey for some while. In other words, you are predisposed to having attacks while taking flights, but the attacks are not a sure response to the fear of flying. People with panic disorder may experience this type of attack.

As you may probably understand, some panic attacks are just phobias over a particular event or place, but others may be truly medical conditions which you should take seriously. It is reported that approximately 19 million people in the United States are panic attack sufferers and they experience a variety of symptoms during panic attacks. Many, however, do not take panic attacks seriously or believe they deserve treatment as a medical condition. It is true that many people who have experience of panic attacks never have further episodes or complications. However, you should keep in mind that chronic occurrence of panic attacks can be a sign of panic disorder, which deserve immediate medical help. Quite often, major disorders could prevent a sufferer from pursuing normal daily routines.

With different types of panic attacks and their different levels of complications, various ways of medical interventions are used. Those commonly used ways of treament include traditional medicine, behavorial therapy, and alternative medicines. In many other instances, however, people are able to live with their panic attacks or use self-help techniques to get out of the situations.

I don’t know what the symptoms are of an anxiety attack, but I think I might of had one. Last night, I was lying awake in bed, unable to fall asleep. My heart started racing so fast, and I had difficulty breathing. It felt like it was literally hitting my rib cage it was pounding so hard. It hurt like crazy. I then became very dizzy, and then I felt very tense. I started to cry because it didn’t stop. I tried taking deep breaths, but it didn’t help. I started to feel better about 3 hours later, and eventually got some sleep.

This isn’t the first time this has happened. Normally it happens at night, about once a week. But today, I was sitting in class and my heart rate began to speed up and I was short on a breath. Also, I have developed a habit of yanking out my hair, which people say relates to this. Was this an anxiety attack? How can I control them?
I have a lot going on right now with tests and what not, so is it stress related?

Recently, I have begun to experience anxiety attacks that take place while I’m sleeping. I am not having them during waking hours, and they don’t seem to be inspired by nightmares. I just wake up with my heart racing, my chest tight, feelings of anxiety that force me to fully wake, etc. I have to stay awake for about an hour to feel better before I can go back to sleep. Why is this happening, and what can I do about it?

bob’s aunty asked:


I have been waking up suddenly every night for 2 months with panic attacks.
I am in a state of panic for about 40 minutes, then i usually throw up.
