View Full Version : scared
i don't know what is happening, suddenly as i am walking i feel the floor shaking, i can't balance, then i felt giddy, and suddenly felt so scared, heart beat terribly fast and hard, can't breathe, can't even stand i am trembling terribly. my heart beat so fast, i got lost, don't know where am i , i felt scared, worried, i took a taxi run off to see doctor, at doc, my heart beat horribly fast, he insist me to take antelolol(100mg).i am so scared, i hold on first, he said my heart beat is 84. i don't know what is that, when i ask him is that panic attack he say no. so what? anyway he want me to take antelolol 100mg, and he gave me Librax. what's that? i am going crazy. i can't go on like this.
Hi Alba, you sound so frightened and a lot of us on this site have felt the same. Your heart beat at 84 is not high, but my guess is that you are suffering with anxiety/panic. Can't understand why your doctor said you were not having a panic attack. I have not heard about the medication you have been told to take. My best advice would be for you to do some deep breathing by counting to seven and breathing in through your nose and counting seven out breathing through your mouth, this should slow your system down.
Have you had this problem before? Click on to the panic attack site in the left column and read through it. Hopefully it should put your mind at rest.
Panic attacks are horrible and by understanding them and learning how to calm them down, they become less scarey. I do hope you feel a bit better.
Hello alba, your first panic attack is a horrendous experience because you have nothing to compare it to. I do agree with Ddcoo that it was a panic attack.
Hello Alba :)
It sounds to me like a classic panic attack. When I have one of those, all the symptoms sound the the same as yours, however I am not a doctor and cannot say it definitely was a panic attack.
If your doctor didnt think it was panic attack then what did he tell you it was? Did he not tell you why he was giving you the medication? Did he explain anything?
Atelolol and Librax are anti anxiety medications, so your gp must suspect you are suffering from anxiety and if so I am not sure why he would dismiss how you felt as a panic attack?
I hope you are feeling not so panicky now. You will probably feel exhausted if it was a panic attack.
If it was a panic attack, they are horrendous - some worse than others. Learn to keep as calm and as distracted as possible when they occur, learn some breathing techniques and practice these when the attacks occur - however this is sometimes easier said than done I know! There are a lot of useful articles about about panic attacks and how to cope with them if you read through them on this site.
I hope things improve for you and that you begin to feel less anxious soon :yesyes:
yeah that what i felt the most scariest time of my life, i dont' know why, it happened out of sudden, i thought i am ok, i went shopping in crowded places, before i am not affected when i am in crowded places, i can be happily making my way in crowded places, but nowadays, i felt so scared, and got this feeling, as i am walking, i felt the ground moving, like i can't control myself, my movement, i am so shocked, i thought the ground is moving, and when i look up , i see so many ppl, i am so scared, i start to feel light headeed, can't even move or walk, my leg felt so stiff, and tremble, i can't talk, i felt i am trembling, i can't even think, my brain jam up, i felt so scared, my heart start to beat so so fast, then i can't move, my chest pain, i felt so light headed, that i can't even stop , i must run or walk fast, i tip toe myself like i am so scared of something, i can't stand still or sit, the more i sit the more i am scared, so i got to run tip toe, fast, until i reach the cab, inside the cab i cannot talk, i tremble, my heart beating so fast, light headed,and feel things swaying a bit. after 5mins in cab , i felt a bit better, like comfortable, as i look out of the window, i felt a bit better. reaching my doc office, i felt all symptoms again, the doc say it is my high bp, he say my heart rate is crazy fast, and ask me to take 100mg atenolol, he keep saying all my symptoms is becos i did not take my atenolol 100mg in the mroning, but my cardio doc did 24hr ABP test result showed no high bp, no sodium in blood, sometimes when i am ok, my bp is 130/80. so i am confuse should i take 100mg atenolol? my cardio doc after doing 24hr ABP TEST just gave me 25mg atenolol to control my palpation. so i am confuse. each time i got dizzy, ny gp doc say it's my high bp, then he will give me 100mg atelolol and BSPIN. and now he give me Librax. i don't know why i am suffering this, but lately few yrs i am bully at work, and i am so scared, hurt each time i come face to face with my bully, this person always bullied and finding my faults and make it big issue, and wanting to start feud with me, i tried badly to avoid this person, each time we met, i felt so painful and scared and now could that contribute to my feeling of tdy? i am going craxzy mad, and scared that i've no control of my life, i am scared of going out agan and suffering this outside again> pls help me, i am sos scared
i am feeling very tired, sick, now, still dizzy and light headed, i hv been having light headed, dizzy from January 09, until now, and i am taking Noristerone hormone pills to stop my bleeding, i hv been bleeding for a long time. ia m havng so many health problems, i am going crazy, never a day i feel good, pls help, am i mad? i can't even think, work and do any housework, i am always trying to find my cure. should i just resign from my work?
imy brain and mind is always thinking abt how to get better, i can't sleep well.my eyes is blury and my brain is tired and i am sweating all over, don[t know why. coud it be my hormone causing all these madness:
Hello Alba, listen, you are not going mad. You are not going to go mad. You are completely and utterly sane and you are going to stay that way for the rest of your life :)
You will be perfectly all right -- you are going to be fine. Your symptoms all show that you are suffering from a combination of high stress and extreme anxiety. None of those is life-threatening but they can make you feel terrible. You will start to feel better. Panic attacks can be nasty but they wear off. Take deep breaths, keep in control of your thoughts, don't allow your fear to take over. You are not in any danger and you are not going to suffer any long term problems. Panic fades away gradually.
It's easy to think that you will never feel better. The truth is, one day you will feel better. If you can go for even a minute without worrying or being upset, that proves you can conquer fear and anxiety.
A blood pressure of 130/80 is in the normal range and is nothing to worry about at all. Your blood pressure may increase during panic attacks. This is totally normal and is temporary. It settles back down to normal when you start to calm down.
The bully that you mention sounds like a worthless piece of crap. You should ignore this person. Don't fear them -- pity them. They have obviously got nothing better to do than try to make other people feel bad. What sort of person would do that? An idiot, that's who. The way they are treating you is definitely making you feel bad.
Don't be upset. You are going to be fine. :)

the sleepiness and tiredness is a direct result of your anxiety. it is the symptom i currently have. your nervous system is over worked your body is going through rushes of adrenaline, and your muscles are tense...you really need to chill out somehow...take a break, do some breathing exercises, lay down and listen to music.
lightheaded-ness is another symptom im having these days...these are all results of anxiety..you have to believe that, is there anything that calms you down? Do you have your family's support?
I agree with Yanksforever. Your body and brain are tired because they are under so much stress caused by panic attacks and anxiety. Panic attacks can be horrible because they scare you into thinking you are ill, even though you are not ill. Panic attacks cannot hurt you. They just feel bad.
Suffering panic attacks has made you feel anxious because you have never had a panic attack before and you did not know what was happening to you. Anxiety is basically an exaggerated form of fear. You're afraid of the way you felt when you had a panic attack. You convinced yourself there was something seriously wrong. There isn't. Millions of people have been through what you are experiencing now. You are not alone.
Tiredness, dizziness and sleepiness are just your body wanting to have a rest. You have been so scared for so long that you have become exhausted. This is completely normal and is not anything to be afraid of. Your body and mind are tired, they have been working hard while you were anxious, that's all. You will recover and you will start to feel better.
thank you so much, it all started last 2 yrs, i hv been having it till now, and i really don't know what is wrong with me, and when i see doc, they also dont know what is it, did blood test all showed normal result, even i went to emergency dpt and they hooked me up with heartbeat rate and so on it scared out of me, and make me feel so so sick and lost.
i don't know what started it, but iam wandering could it be becos of the stress that i am having with my bully office person, this bullied person is always picking on me to start a fight or to cause trouble for me, i am feeling so so stress each time i heard the voice, or accidenatally pass by this person and meet somewhere, the moment i see the face or body i just wanted to run off or just feel like resigning and never want to have anything to do with the office or work, it bring me down and i can't work, every minute to me like maddness thinking if this person will come and cause trouble, and iam so tense out. because of this, i guess my menses stop coming for 2 months and now i am having very badly heavy menses and cause hormone imbalance and admenoyosis.could it be becos of all thise?

you need to love yourself. you can get cured. i think it's time you talked to a doctor about referring you to about getting some support. CBT etc..
you should also buy books like Claire Weekes books about anxiety and nerves. everything that you are feeling is caused by ANXIETY! You are not alone in feeling these things. Eat well, try to get some sleep...stop being afraid of your symptoms and accept them as "normal". They are very normal for the condition you are currently in.
I also recommend exercise and listening to a relaxation CD or some calming classical music on your mp3 player before you go to bed. Go for a long walk too.
Alba, you are not mad, you're just under a lot of stress and you are finding it hard to think properly, that's all. It sounds like the problems you are having are caused by the person who is bullying you at work. You should report this person to the management and tell the management how the bullying is making you feel.
Once the bullying has been stopped you will hopefully find yourself starting to feel a lot better.
already reported but nothing can be done, seem everyone is scared of that bully,nothing can be done.
i am very sick bored at office. it is draining me crazzily, each time i step in office.
am i really in bad situation now?
all i want to do is to do things i enjoy and love, like being ahousewife, a mum and doing some small business and travel. those are what i love doing, now everyday i look at the calender wish it is end of the year, faster, so i can't wait longer to reach my target few yrs time i want to resign work, butnow is suffering

Have you asked your dr to check for iron defciency anaemia? this could contribute to your symptoms along with the anxiety and make you feel terrible. You mentioned you are on medication for bleeding, so I think anaemia could be a possibility. Ask your gp for a full blood count.
Hope you feel better soon
