when you have pms, do you get panic attacks? what do you do for them?

Answer 1

It depends if its a disorder.

Benzodiazepines like diazepam or clonazepam can be prescribed to be taken at the onset of the panic attack. Sometimes, the psychological knowledge of knowing that such medication is close at hand may be enough to prevent the panic attack. However, this form of treatment may be considered unfavourable by some doctors, because of the potential for abuse. Additionally, Benzodiazepines will not treat the cause of the panic attacks. As such, some doctors may prefer to prescribe an antidepressant, particularly an SSRI (such as paroxetine), which after an initial titration period may be effective at reducing anxiety. Individuals can also treat themselves during panic attacks by breathing into a paper bag (to decrease effects of hyperventilation) and/or using ice on the face (rubbing with an ice cube, washing face with icy water on washcloth, dipping face into bowl of ice water) to stop the physiological reactions.

First, relax your shoulders and become conscious of any tension that you may be feeling in your muscles.
Then, with gentle reassurance, progressively tense and relax all the large muscle groups. Tighten your left leg with a deep breath in, for example, hold it, then release the leg muscles and the breath. Move on to the other leg. Move up the body, one muscle group at a time.
Slow down your breathing. This may best be done blowing out every breath through pursed lips as if blowing out a candle. Also, place your hands on your stomach to feel the rapidity of your breathing. This may allow you to further control your symptoms.
Tell yourself (or someone else if you are trying this technique with someone) that you are not "going crazy." If you are concerned about not being able to breathe, remember that if you are able to talk, you are able to breathe.
If a person is diagnosed with any medical illness, especially heart disease, home treatment is not appropriate. Even if the person has a history of panic attacks, home care is not appropriate if there is any new or worrisome symptom.
