Anxiety and Panic Attacks

Bill Clinton asked:


i tried ecstacy for tha first time a week ago. i took half a pill was feeling fine then it felt like i was gona have a panic attack. about 30 seconds later i felt soooo happy and tha panic attack feeling went away. i had a clean high for hours. but is it normal to feel like your having a panic attack b4 tha pill kicks in full strength?

Me asked:


I suffer from chonic migrains, sometimes 2-3 per pay. I have suffered these for about 3 years. Recently a friend of mine went on medication for anxiety/panic attacks and her migraines ceased. I have done alot of research on anxiety and panic attacks and I have most of the symptoms of panic attacks. Could this be what has been causing my migraines?

Also, a friend of mine at the hospital I work at claims that her Yasmin was causing hers. Is this possible? I have been on Yasmin, and now Yaz, for about 3+ years.

Professional help only please.

Pip asked:


I’ve been having what I thought were panic attacks lately ( I have not had confirmation from a doctor but from what I have read they have either been panic or anxiety attacks). Anyway, I found this in an answer to a heart attack question:

“A heart attack usually provokes shooting pain on the chest that extends to the LEFT arm and also shortness of breath, palpitations, dizziness, loss of consciousness and many more obvious symptoms”

My question is do you get sharp shooting pains in your chest, near heart area, for panic attacks? Or is that strictly a heart attack symptom? I feel that I am too young to have a heart attack, but I am pretty overbooked, thus overly stressed. I haven’t had an shooting pains in my left arm though, and I know that is a trademark for Heart Attacks. So does anyone know whats going on with me? Here are the symptoms I have had for reference:

-Chest Pain
-Shaking (Not always)
-Headache
-Dizziness/Nausea
-Trouble Breathing

Thank you for your help!

I have panic attacks at night at least once a week.
I wake up out of sleep panicy, hyperventilating, shaking and fearful.
Then i usually throw up and can’t get back to sleep.

I’m 16.

How can i get control over this without drugs.

Exhilarating, isn’t it? asked:


Because I am a “new patient” I couldnt get a doctor appointment any less than 3 months in advance. It seems like an eternity for someone who suffers panic attacks on a daily basis with no medication for relief. I feel like I wont make it or something! Anybody else have similar thoughts waiting for an appt?
