Update on Panic Attacks

Went to the ER, felt like a idiot but I went. They said I'm having anxiety, panic attacks. Gave me a shot of adavan in my booty and sent me home around 7am. As soon as I got home I called my pcp and he said come on in. I'm now on xanxa (sp?) and so far I'm ok. I'm generally a very rational person. Adam has been on night shift for almost 6 yrs. I miss him of course but I also enjoy my time after Allison has gone to bed. I sit up, read, relax till I'm ready for bed. I've never had a problem laying down and going to sleep when he's not here. Not until this sinus infection, inner ear inflamed crap started. No one has said for sure if thats causing the panic attacks or not. I don't know what else would be. I'm a pretty happy person. So as of today I'm not drinking caffiene and since my weight gain realization yesterday I'm not munching on crackers, chips or cookies. I hate this. I hate being scared to go to bed. The nights Adams are home its fine. My pcp said if I wanted he could set me up with a pysch and see if that would help. Would it? I don't feel like I've got issues, I feel fairly happy u know, most of the time. I love my family, home, life. So what the heck is wrong with me? I might let them make the appt just to cover all the bases. Also, I've scheduled a physical since mine is over 6 months late. He also wants to do a upper GI for my acid reflux this Thursday morning and he said he'd be able to tell them if I've stretched my pouch. Just wanted to update. Thanks everyone for your words of encouragement. How do u talk yourself thur one of these? I tried praying last night but then my fears got the best of me. Hugs Ange

I just wanted to say that I hope you get to feeling better soon. Things will work themselves out! I am sorry to hear about everything you have been going thru & feeling. Hugs to you and good luck with everything! ...............

Glad you are feeling a little bit better If you can't focus and pray through it, try doing something while you pray.  I have lots of rockin' praise music on my Ipod, that helps. Remember when fear takes hold, it ain't God You have been happy and healthy and you have been encouragement and inspiration to others, who would gain from stopping all that? Get into a great book, music, try a Beth Moore bible study.  They are amazing and really help to put things in perspective.  You are in my prayers girl.  Don't give up, fight the good fight.  You are too valuable to stop now.  HUGS
