re: Panic attacks are no joke.

Reason I gave up my LSU season tickets. Never bothered me when I was younger. The crowds started giving me sensory overload I guess is the best way to describe it. I would just break out in cold sweats and my vision would be blurry and heart racing. It was weird. I’ve had a few since then that seem to happen when I’m driving. Mild compared to the ones I described.

The societal normalization of alcohol is really something to behold.
This guy is so hungover in the airport he calls it a panic attack.
When in actuality, he drank so much he experienced extreme alcohol-induced anxiety in an airport. And doesn’t seem to implicate the alcohol at all.
Pathetic. Get your act together people.
If u can’t moderate w 1-2 drinks max, then don’t drink.

Substance induced.
Stop drinking.
Yeap, hangxiety. I learned this later than I should have. But drinking over time will raise your baseline cortisol levels. The stress hormone.

The worst experience of my life, literally the walls close in on you and an elephant is on your chest. You don’t no whether it’s a heart attack or panic attack m, it’s very confusing

Exactly. You could say he overdosed or had a bad trip, but alcohol is different to the drunks. In the end, stop doing what creates bad outcomes.

Try having a panic attack in open water on a lake.
Not fun!
Not fun!

Had one while relaxing at home and just watching TV. Went to the Er because I had no clue what was going on. Nothing to really trigger it either

The first time I had one I honestly thought I was having a heart attack and I think that made things even worse, but then two days later I had another one... But because I knew what it was I didn't have the moment of panic. This was years ago.. 15+ years ago.. And since then I might have had 1 or 2 mild ones. They are the worst.

Maybe you should stop drinking before you know you're getting on a plane.

I only usually drink on the weekends. I hate hangovers and hangxiety so got on low dose Klonopin for sundays. Been doing it for years and it’s a miracle

I’m very hungover and my anxiety during hangovers is typically high.
So...don't get into the situation of being hungover.
You know it increases your risk...have it happen...and come on here to tell us about it?

Sorry man. They suck. Aren’t you going through a high stress time in your life?

Hey my doc wants me to switch to buspiron - what’s your thoughts on it? Side affects? And is it effective?

quote:lots of references to alcohol ITT but for me this is my trigger. I gave up smoking over a decade ago because of the panic attacks that would always hit me. The strange part was that never triggered me until I was an adult
I've had one panic attack and it was a giant one after hitting a joint too hard. My bpm felt like it was 300, not sure how my heart din't explode.

Panic attack is something that I always thought happened to weak minded people. I know thy feel sick but how much of it is mental?
The panic attack itself is not a sign of being weak minded, but wallowing in its aftermath and becoming agoraphobic is.

I'm old, have not had one in years, but they can be crippling. The first one I remember was not from alcohol. I was 27, I was the VP of finance for the sub of a fortune 500 company. They sent me to Chicago to negotiate a loan for a large equipment purchase. I studied for this for weeks, I knew every number, the loan markets, the background of the lenders, I was confident as hell.
I sat down at a conference table with these 2 bankers and my mind went blank, HR spiking, I couldn't breathe, these guys were talking and it might as well have been in Mandarin, it was just noise. I knew these guys were looking at me thinking WTF.
I stalled until I could gather myself, I got through it, but I left there feeling like hell, my knees were shaking, I felt clammy and weak.
The next few times it happened it was out of the blue, driving to work, sitting in a restaurant with my wife. I usually put a Xanax under my tongue and I knew that would calm me. I am claustrophobic, just talking about an MRI can trigger an attack.
My suggestion is to see a doctor, he might put you on duloxetine and/or refer you to a psychiatrist for a more thorough diagnosis. Funny, I have a pill tube on my keychain with a few xanax in it. Just the idea they are there, just in case, makes attacks less frequent.

I don’t think I’ve ever had a true panic attack, but do feel more anxious after drinking.
Closest I’ve had is a couple of months ago I got a bit sunburned at beach. Took 2 kids under 4 to the pool the next day. Started itching. Thought I was just getting stung by something and kids were having fun so thought I’d just push through it / it would go away. But within 5 minutes I felt like I was getting stung by yellowjackets constantly. Trying to leave pool in a hurry with 2 under 4 that just got there while not knowing what was going on was awful.
Turns out that chlorine can strip the skin and make you super itchy after a sunburn (I was a lifeguard for 4 summers and never heard of that). Shower and Benadryl and I was fine 30 minutes later, but it was a feeling I hope to never experience again.
