Hi, I'm new to his group. I recently started having panic/anxiety attacks again out of no wear. I was taking care of my mother-in-law for 4 months and she passed and I had not attacks during this time. I have been of the weight loss shot and have lost 60 pounds during this time. We went for a walk on Saturday and I got home and worked on my diamond painting for a well with my neck bent then I started getting tired and went back in my chair to relax and got hot and dizzy and could not move for a minute it was really weird lasted for twenty minutes. My doctor thinks low blood sugar but I don't because I had eaten thirty minutes before. I think vertigo or panic but I don't why unless I was panicking to get it done faster. The doctor i have now does not believe in prescribing Xanax but gave me buspirone but I don't think it's working. I feel I am going backward I was coming off all this anxiety medication.

welcome to the group. @mbowesctiger
there are lots of people here to answer your questions with things that relate.
I am one who has high anxiety and stress add to that depression and you have a snowball of effects. i have managed to help some of that with 2 different exercise routines and this sight is a help and so many people let you know things that help them. i worry to much about things i cant control or out of my reach to do anything and end up having fear added to the rest of the problems. now i have to sit back slow my heart rate and rationalize to myself that it will all work out and do something constructive. even more light exercise helps. might listen to my favorite songs or play with my guitar. anything to occupy my mind till i feel more comfortable and know i am my worst enemy when these attacks occur. that is it . i know i am the trigger i just have to do something to ease out of that area of thinking. Have a blessed day.
