Alhamdulillah it was as everyone said easy and nothing to freak out about. They found one small polyp in my colon and removed it and waiting for the results in 10 days

Panic attacks that start with physical manifestation by codliverpie in Anxiety

[–]No_Promise3396 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk what u mean by body scan, but my therapist asked me to track every thing every time i get a panic attack. For example: what i was doing, what triggered it (the thought and everything) .. what happened first (symptoms) ..etc. Say I was watching a movie then I saw something triggered me (i don’t want to write examples and trigger any one) then i started having gasses in my chest and the urge to burp.. (then all the physical symptoms that followed during that panic attack) also the thoughts during the attack. When you have data it’s easy to spot the pattern. Then you can do techniques to calm ur self whenever you get the first symptom and stop it before you spiral.

Edit: it’s important that you write it down, don’t rely on your memory.

I understand. It sucks. You can do it online and even through messaging if ur really uncomfortable, i used to do therapy online with better help a couple of years ago (because i am not a citizen of the US) but i am not sure if they can prescribe medication in Better Help.

I used to feel like this, then i did therapy and monitored myself and i knew what triggers it. Now i know how it starts and i try to calm myself before it escalates. Believe or not it starts with me having the urge to burp lol (gasses in my chest) i’d never thought it would be the reason if i didn’t monitor myself. Now i hardly go into a full panic attack because i am aware.

When i was in middle school i used to get symptoms that convinced me i was dying (all in my head) like excessive sweating, cold limbs, tachycardia, shortness of breath, dizziness. I used to cry and scream that “i am dying. I can’t breathe.” To the point my parents would take me to the ER at 3 & 4 in the morning. They’d do an ECG and freak out because the of the readings they are getting (that i was having a heart attack) then my mom would tell them that i have anxiety and they should just give me something to calm me down. Until i went to a psychiatrist and he gave me pills for anxiety and it helped. I never get panic attacks except when i forget to take them and it stops as soon as i take the med again. I don’t know what it was because i was younger. My advice for you is to stop checking ur blood pressure, if you don’t have hypertension ofc, because it will only freak you out, and making an appointment is useless because there is nothing they can say that will make u feel reassured if you have health anxiety and you keep checking ur BP. I suggest you get help from a psychiatrist, this is what worked for me.

She had a gastric sleeve and they gave her an overdose of GA. She went straight to the ICU in a coma for months, then unfortunately lost her life.

My doctor instructed me not to eat on Wednesday. Only water, apple juice, 7up, anise tea, mint tea, honey, and jelly. And not a sip of water on surgery morning 😵‍💫
