Ok, been having what's been labled as panic attacks for the last six months. I'[ve bee given meds and have been too afraid to take them, which is funny I know. But after reading the labels and stuff, I've totally frozen. My biggest problem seems to be breathing, I get tingling in hands and feet, face and can't seem to draw in enough air. Sometimes I get the tightness in throat, chest thing and I've found it's getting to the point where watching my two children is making me even more afraid. Cause of fear of passing out.
Recently, I've been given Kefflex...antibiotics, which I needed cause of having a tooth pulled. Abcessed. Then I wound up in the er twice because of low potassium which Ive spoken to my dentist, and he says, Kefflex can cause diarreahea which can lead to potassium problems and I'm all stressed out and unsure how to handle things. If It's been six months with this..it would have to be panic attacks or generalized anxiety, right? I mean...I'm just struggling to keep going day by day and not even sure what catergory to put this under.
Does anyone find they have trouble breathing alot for a long period of time. Most people I speak with say their panic attacks go away after 10-15 minutes when mine just get progrssively worse, until I take a Xanax which takes an hour, hour and a half to kick in anymore. They're .5 tablets. Just getting so sick of struggling and anyone who has a story or problem similiar to mine would be a big help. I'm new to this panic attack, anxiety thing, 6 months, but everyday with no rest is kinda crazy don't you think? X.x
Help please and thanks in avance.I mean, I try busying myself. controlling my breathing and nothing, been through med tests 6 months ago, I just don't know what to do. Isn't there a medication that might help without all the possible bad side effects or being weened off of them? Thanks again x.x Just having an attack now, so I'll finish my dishes hopefully and check back, I just really... need an answer. x.x And how everything can just come on like it has...worries me even more. Unless being afraid of dying in the er before made me a nervous wreck, I just don't know anymore.
