Hey guys/gals, my name is Ricky. I've had these Panic episodes for years now but recently they have gotten much worse, I'm not trying to overexaggerate but this is ruining my life. I literally feel like I'm going to die, I get very shaky especially in my legs and my stomach, I know that might sound weird, but I get a very funny feeling in my stomach.. almost a tickle feeling but not in a good way. I also feel like I'm going insane, like the smallest things will make me feel like I've completely lost control of myself.
I don't know if Panic Attacks can be triggered but they started to get very bad when my younger sister (She has been dying of a terminal disease ever since she was a baby, she has seizures all the time) had a bad reaction to her medication and went into a coma-like seizure. I've never really seen anything like that and it messed with me pretty bad. A couple weeks later I started feeling shaky so I ran downstairs and took a shower (dont ask me why) and at the time I didn't know that a hot steaming shower can raise your blood pressure/heart rate. Well i got out and I thought I was dying of a heart attack or something because my BP was way up and I was just freaking out worse then i ever have.
I got numerous tests done, EKG, ALOT of blood tests, chest x-rays, I even requested a stress test and I'm 22 years old.. everything turned out fine. Even though I KNOW FOR A FACT i'm healthy I still think Im dying when I start having these panic attacks. I really don't know what to do guys, I'm not the type of person to cry but I will cry my eyes out at night.. all I want is to feel normal again. I mean, I honestly have no problem socializing with people or going out.. but now Im kind of afraid this will happen at work or out in public and its messing with me bad.
