(Edit) I just scrolled down to the bottom and found the forum offers a few threads on a similar topic and I think that clarified things for me... I'll leave this up just in case someome finds it useful.
I also apparently am subject to vasovagal syncope and be searching for that as well on this forum.
===========================================
What would you call this?
I was with clients in a roundtable meeting, completely in control and feeling healthy. Suddenly, I felt
The wave lasted less than a minute but on a scale of 1-10 it was a 9/10.
- extreme nausea, no vomitting
- fast and deep breathing (probably to help the nausea)
- my heart was pounding hard and fast
- profuse sweating
- my face turn pale
- faint
- confused.
Another wave hit almost 15 minutes later, a 7/10.
15 minutes later another, a 5/10.
After one hour or so, I was normal again.
Is this a panic attack or anxiety or something else
I've since started taking Effexor 75mg. The same episodes occured since but not as strong, masked by the Effexor no doubt.
Now I'm on Effexor 150 and when the episodes occur, and the symptoms are 10% of what they were.
Thoughts? Comments?
