Do you get panick attacks?

Question

What personaly happens to you when you get one

Answer 1

My daughter does. Her heart races, pounds hard and hurts a bit. Her breath comes short. Sometimes she gets dizzy. Sometimes she's nauseous and sometimes they trigger migraines.

Nasty business. Not much to do about it, except we've found that lavender and cammomile lotion helps a lot. Weird, but it's true. Sell it at Bath and body works for 13 bucks.

Answer 2

I have suffred from them for many years.
At first I just feel anxious, lose my paitients( feels like I'm loosing my temper), but most of the time I just feel nervous, jumpy.When they hit. How I deal with mine is to avoid what triggers mine. Like avoiding large crowds of people. Being in unfamilar place and people for long periods of time.

What I used to handle mine is getting away( when and if I can), putting my head phone and listen to my music.This helps me to tune out and relax fo a little while. It has helped me with some of my large more disruptive attacks.

Answer 3

shortness of breath
sweat heavily
break out into a rash

I get panick attacks quite often but I've learn't to recognise what sets them off and try to have a bottle of water close by and breathing space!

What is generalized anxiety disorder (GAD)?
Everyone feels anxious from time to time, like when they have to meet a deadline or deliver a presentation. But for people with GAD, a constant and exaggerated sense of worry interferes with their daily life. People with GAD tend to expect the worst when dealing with issues related to money, health, family, or work, even when there is no sign of trouble.

About 5% of people in the U.S. will have GAD at some point during their lifetime. Each year, about 3% of the U.S. adult population has GAD (approximately 6.5 million Americans). Nearly twice as many women as men are affected.

What are the symptoms of GAD?
People with GAD may experience a few symptoms or may feel overwhelmed by many symptoms. The key signs of GAD are anxiety and worry that are difficult to control and have lasted for at least 6 months. In addition to excessive anxiety and worry, people with GAD have at least 3 of the following symptoms:

Restlessness or feeling on edge
Fatigue
Difficulty concentrating or mind going blank
Irritability
Muscle tension
Difficulty sleeping
Some additional signs associated with GAD include:

Symptoms associated with muscle tension, such as trembling, twitching, feeling shaky, and muscle aches and soreness
Physical symptoms such as clammy hands, dry mouth, sweating, nausea or diarrhea, an increased need to urinate, trouble swallowing, and an exaggerated response to being surprised
People with GAD often have symptoms of depression as well. In fact, 2 national studies found that between 58% and 70% of people who suffered from GAD in their lifetime have also suffered from depression at some point.

What are the causes of GAD?
Some research suggests that GAD may run in families. It may also grow worse when a person is under stress. Although the exact causes of GAD are unknown, it may be due to a chemical imbalance in the brain. Serotonin and norepinephrine are 2 chemicals used by some nerve cells to communicate. These chemicals, called neurotransmitters, are thought to be linked to GAD. Therefore, medications that affect these neurotransmitters may play a role in treating GAD.
