Hi,
I'm new here & recently have been getting severe panic attacks. This has never happened to me before & the 1st one I got I though I was going to die! It started with a fast & aggressive heart rate which I thought was goin to push my heart straight out of my chest, then came the sweats, followed by the foggy head & thoughts of 'you have to get out of here, you have to get out NOW!'
I am a 26yo female with a 5mth old boy, & like I said, never had any sort of anxiety or depression before my little man was born.
Does anyone know if there's a possibility of a chemical imbalance due to changing hormones after birth?
I have seen my dr (who witnessed an attack in the waiting room) & has prescribed me with Lovan & oxazepam. Does anyone know how long it takes to set in. I'm suppose to go back to work after maternity leave next week, I can't even do my grocery shopping... How am I suppose to work!! Argh!!
