I take Lexapro and I still have panic attacks. Mine are similar to what you describe along with a huge sense of loneliness and worry. I've learned to tell myself "it will be over in a minute" and not tell yourself "it's ok", because let's face it: you're not ok at the time. Maybe you need to check back in with your doctor and be put back on some meds. I hate being on meds too, but it's all that helps. I also smoked 5 years ago, but quit and smoked my first since then about 2 months ago. For the next 2 days, I had repeated panic attacks so I guess that proves that smoking is a culprit. I also drink nearly every weekend but don't notice a difference unless i drink excessively. i think your feelings are perfectly normal. it just may help you to invest in seeing your psychiatrist. also, have you had an echocardiogram and a thyroid test to make sure they're fine? A mitral valve prolapse (in your heart) and an overactive thyroid could be a cause, but more than likely, you're just like me and are panicky for no reason. Good luck and try to relax yourself by taking warm baths, reading books about panic attacks, lighting candles, etc. Spend more time on yourself and let your husband, friends, whoever take the kids every now and then and pamper yourself. good luck.<br><b>References : </b><br> I understand what you’re going through.

Great job on quit smoking and lowering your alcohol intake...I did that myself and in the long run will be so much bet'r for your anxiety. Try taking a multi vitamin if your not on one already.... I like to take a greentea pill too... it helps w/anxiety (in a natural way) ... I take 1 500mg pill a day<br><b>References : </b><br>use to have panic attacks & havnt been on med's in over 4-5 years now. symptoms range from millions of dif things….. sounds like your having anxiety issues in a dif form than what your use to.

Some people will have raised blood pressure at these times but it will not necessarily cause obvious symptoms. One of the keys to controlling panic states is to learn how relatively easy it is to control your breathing; to do this you don't need medication. If you can slow down and take control of your breathing, you'll find that other changes will follow (ones which you can only indirectly control)<br><b>References : </b><br> Generally people having a panic attack have several of the following symptoms: rapid and shallow breathing, rapid heart beat sometimes with palpitations, dizziness, faintness, shakiness, a feeling of unreality, sometimes a feeling as though one is going to die… there may be others too.
