I need advice

Devynn • Mama of two. 👩‍👧‍👦

Over the past few months I’ve been dealing with anxiety and panic attacks that feel so much more physical. I’ve been to the hospital a thousand times , they’ve ran so many tests, if anything was wrong with my heart would i know by now?

If they have done ekg’s and all those kinds of tests yes they would have seen something and told you. I know what you mean I get panic attacks too and have been to the ER for some of them because I thought I was having a heart attack. It’s hard but when you start going through a panic attack you have to keep reminding yourself that nothing is wrong with you, it’s just your anxiety. Don’t focus on what you are feeling like because that will only make it worse. It’s tough and I still struggle with even reminding myself that, but it’s what you have to do. When you start to feel one coming on, try to focus on something else. You have to find something you can do or listen to that will help you keep your mind off of the panic attack. For me it’s talking to my mom , sister or boyfriend. If they aren’t with me then I usually call one of them and they try to get my mind off it. It’s hard but you can do it. I’m here if you have any other questions as well!

I understand completely I was the same exact way. I still am at times but not near as bad as I used to be. I also now take CBD oil as well and that has helped me too. So maybe you should look into something like that?

I’m curious if you have low progesterone? If you do you might notice more anxiety during your LP(last part of your cycle). Low progesterone can cause bad anxiety and depression. From what I read recently. Might be worth looking into. Hope you figure it out soon.

You can ask the doctor if they can check your progesterone levels during your LP to see if they are low. It’s a blood test so it shouldn’t cost to much. I’d google a few sites about it and bring to your doctor. For me I have an awesome OB I’d just ask her if she could test and let me know my levels.

I haven’t started yet, but I can tell I have more problems closer to when my period is due and during.. how would I find out if I had low progesterone ?

Yes they’d know. Panic attacks are physical. They produce physical symptoms. You feel as if you’re having a heart attack but panic attacks can not kill you. Go see about getting on Lexapro or Celexa.

I started taking lorezapam. It helps but it doesn’t if that makes sense I just don’t wanna get on something and become a walking zombie that’s my biggest fear

Now I rarely have an attack and life is so much more livable.

Discuss medication. When you have attacks daily it’s time for medicine intervention. There’s no reason for you to suffer through this. I didn’t go on meds for 2 yrs but my attacks began waking me up out of a dead sleep and I had to start taking a med.
