Anxiety Attack/Panic Attack/Anxiety Disorders

[akotobakit]

First kasi na nangyari ay sa loob ng church, tayuan kaya akala ko baka sa hilo lang kaya ako ganun.

I've experienced this a lot of times. Suki na ko ng mga emergency room/clinic ng mga simbahan, malls, pati LRT. Wini-wheelchair pa nila ko. Panic attack yan.

I was recently diagnosed for panic disorder and have been taking meds for a month now.

Share lang ako ng story ko. Matagal na ko nagsmosmoke, if you know what I mean. Pero there was this one time I couldn't get stuff from my regular supplier so sa iba ako kumuha. Naka check in kami ng partner ko sa hotel for 2 weeks nun so ayun. Yung akala kong happy-happy, will be the day I will regret my whole life. Learned my lesson the hard way. So while we were smoking, ang pangit ng trip. bigla nyang sinabi sakin na I need to call 911 (hindi po sya taga pinas) yun pala he was just kidding pero I suffered from a very bad panic attack. Di ako makahinga. I was shaking. I was crying. I had history of panic attacks but those were manageable but that time it hit me hard. After nun I kept on having panic attacks. Nagpanic attack ako sa taxi, sa opisina, bahay, bus, in a span of 1 week. sinumpa ko yung araw na yon. Kept on having depersonalization/derealization din kung saan-saan. tried meditation, change of diet, exercise for a month to no avail. I was told by my relatives to visit PMHA na kasi may lahi kami ng ganito. So until now, still seeing a psychiatrist.

i was prescribed clonazepam .5mg once a day before bedtime and escitalopram 5mg for a week and upped the dose to 10mg na. During that period I HAD MY LIFE BACK. Grabe iba yung saya ko. So for 3 weeks it was perfect. A little anxiety here and there til my last visit 22nd of June. I was told to stop clonazepam cold turkey. Edi ako deadma akala ko okay na e. Ngayon I'm having anxiety again pero di singlala ng dati,  pero bumalik. I'm trying to fight this kasi addictive nga daw si clonazepam and it takes months before Escitalopram takes effect daw. So tiis-tiis. Update ako dito when the withdrawal symptoms stop. Hay kelan kaya tatalab tong escitalopram.

Sa ibang hirap na hirap na, at takot magtake ng meds, ang masasabi ko is go see a psychiatrist. Promise the meds will help a lot. Di ka magsisisi.

Hi mga sis. Do you consider this as an anxiety attack: every time na lalabas kami ng bahay or may lakad the next day, iniisip ko pa lang nasasakay kami ng van or jeep eh kinakabahan na ako. Pero sanay naman ako magcommute kasi yun minsan ang means of transpo namin. Pero pag sinabi nila Mama na naka-car naman kami eh okay na naman ako. Tapos pagdating naman sa destination bigla na lang akong kinakabahan. As in sobrang bilis ng tibok ng puso ko. Parang sasabog na. Since February 2016 pa ako nagkakaroon ng feeling na ganito everytime na may lakad. Hindi ko sure if anxiety attack ba 'to? Please enlighten me mga sis..

@chinrosete

Possible sis na anxiety attack sya. Nahihirapan ka ba huminga? Nasusuka? Sumasama tiyan? Kung since feb pa yan at hanggang ngayon ganyan pa rin, I suggest see a psychiatrist kung hirap na hirap kana, kung di na sya maneagable.

Di naman nahihirapan huminga sis pero sobrang lakas talaga ng heartbeat ko. Yung tipong parang lalabas na sa lakas. Feeling lang yung nasusuka sis pero never pa naman ako nagsuka. Yung pag poop talaga. As in iniisip ko agad asan ang cr para makatakbo ako agad. Minsan meron minsan wala.

^That's anxiety attack. But make sure to rule out heart disease muna to make sure.

Guys need help. Please pm me. Im okay naman kaso my voice shakes and trembles whenever i talk to someone na vip or hindi ko pa kilala. Lalo na during meeting. Kala nila paiyak ako this is so embarassing and frustrating at the same time. Nagkakaroon ako ng sensation sa throat. Do you have group for this i mean personal meeting i dont know any psychiatrist or where to go to help myself. Ive been to ent may gerd then chineck nya yung vocal chords ko butwala naman syang nakitang problem. Kakatake ko lang ng lab test to check irregularities in my heart naman. Update ko kayo. For meetings, [textspeak!] ent ko nagprescribe sya saken ng inderal for beta blockers anti palpitations and omeprazole 40g for my gerd. Nagbubuko juice nadin ako recently. I never drink coffee na and even spicy garlic onion foods o kaya fatty limit na. Umaangat padin yung acid sa throat ko and nararamdaman ko sya pag nagbuburp ako. Anyone with the same kind of conditions that i have mentioned?

[Gum Ball]

^Better wait din sa result ng lab tests mo sis, nagkakaron din ako ng burning sensation sa throat ko every time umaateke heart burn ko. possible din na ang cause nyan is yung tension na nararamdaman mo nadagdagan lang kaya tumataas acid. matagal ka na bang tense sa mga ganitong situations? or ngayon lang? there are a lot of factors kasi.. for now it's better to clear your mind.  pray ka din sis.. it helps... 

[handlewithcare]

^^Ganyan din ako sis. Pag kinakabahan ako, yung boses ko parang boses ng umiiyak. Sobrang nakakahiya nga eh. Kahit hindi face-to-face meeting, kahit conference call lang sobrang kabado ako. Hindi ko alam kung bakit ganon.
 
Meron din akong GERD. Not sure kung yan ang reason bakit nag-iiba boses oag stressed o kabado.

I'm doing some research about what I am going through.  When my sister gets really stressed, she can't control her eyes from opening and closing.  Ako naman, I felt like my arms were parang having tremors.  I don't know the word for it I thought caffeine but there is really that weird feeling and it won't go away even without coffee.

[kvan]

The throat sensation is called globus hystericus. I experience that also sometimes. I went to the doctor told me it's most probably anxiety related. There's so much physical effects of anxiety and panic disorder and everyone's different. But always go to the doctor to rule out any serious health problems.

[blushberry]

I used to feel this at times.  Now I know what it is.  I used to think I was going to have colds.

Joining this thread because I, too, suffer from this disorder. I think namana ko ito sa mom ko. Ilang beses na rin ako napupunta sa ER dahil sa panic attack na yan. Minsan nga din I am scared to fly - once na nasa flight kami from Manila to Cebu gusto kong ipabalik yung eroplano. It took all my will to tell myself to calm down which I was able to do 15mins prior to landing. Ngayon nga lang nagbabasa lang ako nitong thread na to, natetense na ako. Hypochondriac din ako so simpleng symptoms kung ano ano na naiisip kong sakit ko. For now, I'm still trying to manage it through breathing and calming of the mind, pero nafefeel kong lumalala sya. I don't want to take anxiety drugs so I'm on the lookout for natural meds. May nirecommend yung friend ko na nakuha nya from healthy options, Sedalia daw yung name may nakatry na ba nito? I'm also asking my friend who's about to go to South Korea to get me yung Cheongsimhwan. It's a natural anxiolytic which apparently is used by a lot of faint-hearted koreans.

I have this panic disorder and I have meds ..kaya ok naman pakiramdam ko ..nagwoworry lang ako pag inalis na meds ko..meron akong groups na sinalihan sa fb at active sila

[akotobakit]

Avoid anything with caffeine, nakaka-trigger ng anxiety/panic attacks. Nakaka-miss tuloy ang chocolates.

I've tried some supplements na rin from Healthy Options. Careful though, kailangan mag-research for contraindications and i-consult sa doctor if you have existing meds kasi yung iba hindi pwedeng isabay sa psych meds. Pero pwedeng gawing alternative. Tapos there are supplements and vitamins that don't complement each other. Kunyari 5-HTP and St. John's.

I have BPD, Bipolar II, OCD, and SAD. Thankfully, may 2 months na rin since I had my last panic attack. Magandang development na yun kasi starting this year, almost every time na lalabas ako, ayan na, panic attack na. Sa 15 years, kabisadong kabisado ko na kapag pa-attack na siya. Never ko siya napigilan, but minsan nase-secure ko naman ang sarili ko before mag-full blown ang attack. I would go to the nearest exit points, sa guard, police, clinic, or habang may vision pa ko, dial na agad sa bahay for rescue. What I hate most about it is yung blurry to loss of vision na. Sobrang delikado especially kapag gabi umatake at nasa labas ako, and I always go out alone pa naman. I realized sa recent attacks ko na hindi pala laging may good samaritan around.

So there. Mag-ingat tayo. And though prayers are not sure instant cure, pray pa din.

^Pasali naman sa support group. Anong name ng group sa fb?

[Frozen Toes]

Stopped taking my medication yesterday. I just think that it's not worth the side effects. So I feel weird today. Withdrawal.

Anyway, I'm going to continue with therapy.

[cybelekronos]

hirap naman. nag pa check up ako para sa anxiety panic attack, ending clinical depression.. so may meds na ako, pero d ko alam kung itake ko ba to? nabasa ko mga side effects parang lalo ako aatakihin nito.
d ko alam gagawin ko? alam ko once nag start na ko ng meds mahirapan na ko mag stop nito. lalo ako naguluhan. 

[Frozen Toes]

^ You can try it for two weeks maybe? The side effects are supposed to subside by the second week I think. I stopped taking mine because I have an important interview coming up. After that, I might restart with medication. I will speak to my pdoc about it this weekend.

I experience this whenever this certain person talks or even chat me in fb. Whenever this happen, nanlalamig ako at pinagpapawisan, feeling lutang at sobrang bilis ng tibok ng puso ko. May history din kasi na this person, dinuro duro ako at kung ano ano ang sinabi sakin before na sa tingin ko sobrang natrauma ako.
