have you been admitted to the emergency room

I have been admitted to the ER 4 times in the last few months and yeah ITS EXPENSIVE!!! Especially when youre freaking out and all bug-eyed panicky, thinking youre having a heart-attack at age 20!!! Of course, I overreact to everything and this tends to make anxiety a much bigger problem. I dont have insurance either and its costing a fortune. And of course, having to ride in an ambulance adds a pretty penny. The doctors at the ER always say everything is fine and nothing is wrong with me. That I need to get rid of some stress and not worry as much. And I'm like... "How do I eliminate stress?!" And they shrug. Good luck to you - sometimes in the very beginning of a panic attack I take long deep breaths and tell myself to calm down, nothing is wrong. Its worth a shot. Sometimes it helps, other times... it doesnt.

i used to suffer from panic attacks alot and have also been admitted to ER its not a nice thing to go though its very scary. you should see your gp and get something to treat the anxiety then the panic attacks will stop. good luck and best wishes

Admitted no. Gone to the hospital in the midst of a panic attack because I had no idea what was going on? Yes. They did a thorough check and everything turned out fine, so they never admitted me. They prescribed me a medication for what they thought might be an inner ear infection and sent me on my way. It wasn't until a few months later they discovered I was actually having panic attacks. Then I wad diagnosed with a whole list of things.

Has nobody prescribed meds for you yet? there are some really good ones that make the panic attack much mor bearable. However, If you carry around a paper lunch bag, you can breathe into that when you feel it starting, and it should calm you down.

yeah i've been to the er before a few times but it's the same story panic attack, But i know all to well at the time it's happening you freak out and think maybe this time is different.
