    I would go talk to your fam Dr. A.s.a.p. and you can be diagnosed by a professional….I have panic attacks and am on medication for it it’s really serious….but i don’t think Birth Control has anything to do with panic attacks but you could be having a reaction…your best bet is to see a Dr.
    good luck

    I agree that you should probably see a Dr., but I too have had anxiety problems when I start a new type of BC. I think it’s probably just hormonal, like PMS. But talk to your Dr. to rule out anything else. The anxiety went away in about 2 mos. for me. Best of luck!

    I wouldn’t have thought the panic attacks would be related to the birth control. It is probably just a coincidence that you they started happening around the same time.

    If it is panic attacks you need to see your doctor, as it is a serious disorder. Symptoms include:
    Electric current moving through the body
    Hot prickly sensation moving through the body
    Intense heat or burning pain moving through the body
    “Unusual” intense flows of energy throughout the body
    Rushes of ‘energy’ shaking the body
    Tingly sensation moving through the body
    Creeping sensation moving through the body
    Wave-like motion of energy moving through the body
    Vibration moving through the body
    White hot flame through the body
    Ice cold sensation through the body
    “Ants crawling” sensation over the body

    Otherwise it may not be panic attacks at all, but something else, and it MAY be related to the birth control pill. A lot of woman have to try a few different pills before they find one that totally agrees with them.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!
