Panic Attack?

Yes, this sounds like a panic attack and can appear out of the blue it seem, however there are probably factors triggering it. When I have experience panic attacks I was usually either worried and/or stressed. Escalated heart rate, my chest feels heavy, my hands get clammy and I feel immense fear.

Years ago, I started therapy and we worked on breathing and grounding myself; feeling my breathing and my bodies weight did help some. She also suggested trying to focus on something else, although that didn't really help me.

I recently started having panic attacks again and my doctor prescribed clonazepam as needed to get me through and I was put back on Fluoxetine & mirtazapine. I am no longer having the panic or taking the clonazepam and feeling much better.

I wish you the best of luck on your journey. Sending BIG hugs!

I've had panic Attacks before I was diagnosed a 100 mg of zoloft. And that's the only thing I found that helps.I spent about 5 years looking for help for panic. Attacks and zoloft is the only thing that helped me.

I had a panic attack for the first time after the age of 30. I've been anxious for a long as I can remember.
I went through heart tests and several results were abnormal. After a heart catheterization it was determined my heart is fine. Over the years, anxiety has shown up in different ways: panic attacks, shingles breakouts, unexplained pain and even extreme fatigue. I am getting good at challenging my symptoms to see if my brain and body are conspiring to cause them.
I've just begun taking Lexapro and after a few weeks have been able to reduce my dependence on Alprazolam. As time goes on, future medication changes may be necessary.

I had never had panic attacks before and then all of the sudden one day I just started having them, I called 911 because I thought I was having a medical emergency and it turns out I was just having a panic attack. My doctor helped me out a lot and put me on anxiety medicine that has helped me. The point of me saying all this is that, you’re not alone as someone who all of the sudden started having panic attacks, also you need to probably find another doctor.

I suddenly started having panic attacks a year ago. I recognized whqt it was because I work in behavioral health. I could not identify what was triggering the attacks. I went to a psychiatrist and she gave me a daily medication to prevent them called buspirone. She also gave me clonazapam to use if I had a breakthrough attack. I have only used the clonazapam once and I was able to identify the trigger. If someone tries to put you on a benzodiazapam ( Xanax, Ativan, Clonazapam, and others) they are very addictive and need to be used with caution. I would recommend a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner if you attacks are frequent.
