How long does symptoms last after an attack???
« on: May 22, 2006, 07:36:15 PM »
I had an attack 2 days ago, but it was very short, and i went to sleep.  I woke up the next morning feeling fine and at about 4:30 in the afternoon i had another attack, but i kind of stopped it before it became full blown and i felt crummy the rest of the day.  Now to my question:  Today, i still feel kind of nausiated and its hard to breathe alot of the times (feels like a tight throat), and i feel like im not breathing in rythm and i have to "think" about breathing.  It causes my heart to race some and when i breathe better my heart doesn't pound as much.  Do some symptoms like this last a couple days after the innitial attack?

yes for me it can and what a bugger i just keep thinking on the 1st attack an im i gonna get it again the mind plays funny games the symptoms are still there and i think you body is just on edge maybe after a few days you will relax more and the symptoms might go away.

exactly the same thing with me apple.  past three nights straight.  But im not on any medication and i went to my doctor for the first time today about the panic attacks.  He perscribed me paxil.. (is this any good??) and also wants me to see a psychiatrist to perscribe the medicine he thinks, and also wants me to see a psycologist.  He said I shouldn't be on the medicine long and he thinks i might actually get through this eventually medicine free.  So to me this is good news and hope.  I hope everything works out for you apple, because this condition is not fun. :angry:

glad you went to the doc i am on aropax(paxil) and its worked wonders for my panic i have been panic free for 6 weeks :bigsmile: my anxiety isn't nowhere as bad now so i hope the drug is the right one for you it took about 5 weeks for me to start to get some effect the 1st 2 weeks where a bit rocky but i got through it it can sometimes make your symptoms worse so if you have a antianxiety medication use it as well for the 1st part of it but try it out first with just the meds and you may find it will be OK hope it all works out any more questions just ask.
take care
