2. What's the difference between a panic and anxiety attack?
A few years ago I'd feel my heart racing and get the feeling like I was going to die...nowadays maybe once every few months I get an aftershock, just feel a little shaky for a while...
Thankfully I have not had one in well over a year. But I used to have quite a problem with them years back. Had quite a few trips to the ER because of it.
Although I had been on meds since very early on. What finally did the trick was increasing the dosage of Fluoxitane(sp). There were other things, such as attending "Recovery" which were also of major benefit. But the combination of Meds and all that I learned over the better part of two decades living with this. Has preatty much made them a memory.
My heart racing and feeling like I'm going to throw up. Not necessarily with an easily identifiable cause. I found that lying down in bed with some calming music on, or doing something that taxes my brain and 'takes my mind off of it' helps, if possible. :hug:
