Every single day of the week when I go to school I have extreme pains in my chest area running any time and happening unsuspectably which then trigger maybe a panic response and thus making me very uncomfortable at school. I feel my heart will stop after and very uncomfortable. PLEASE HELP WITH WHAT I CAN DO. I go to a psychologist and doctors say im fine but i dont know how i am going to pull off the finals in about a couple of weeks because it is like hard to concentrate and school is like hell everyday. My parents know but dont seem to get what im going through daily.
Answer:
any sort of depression can be tide over by faith in GOD and sincere prayer.
Your prayer is from your heart. Further You must have to understood the fact that God is present in our heart. This can be realised in meditation. Further we are the creation of our own destiny. As per Hindu sacred religion, we carry all good and bad deeds life after life. There is no end unless we pray for unification of self with the divineliness.
Hence there is always a possible way to complete mergence with God in this life by a simple and wonderful meditation
tell your doctors that you arent fine if you arent. Ask them for something to help with the anxiety. If they wont listen try a different doctor. definatly sounds like panic atacks. I have them too.
You are stressed out with exams and all the other end of year stuff.There ate deep breathing exercises you can do.Ask your psychologist.fo r some techniques to help you breathe.
I don't know how old you are but having extreme pain in your chest is a very scary thing.
It is not normal to have severe chest pain every day. Tell your parents how much pain you're in and let them know that you need to go to a doctor or Emergency room because you think this is more than a panick attack. Good luck to you. Hope you're feeling well soon, and best of luck with your finals.
Hi Harry,
Let me start by saying how sorry I am that you are going through this... I know how horrible it can be.. and how awful it is to have everyone say it's nothing.. your fine.. YOU know what your feeling.
You are describing classic mild to moderate panic/anxiety symptoms.. they come on suddenly.. your mind races.. your heart rate speeds up.. you feel like your heart is going to FLY out of your chest. you feel like you want to cry... and scream all at the same time.. you get sweaty..%26lt;sounding familiar yet?%26gt;...
You have talked to your MD.. and your therapist.. and they say there is nothing they can do... BS. a number of anti depressant's also contain anti anxiety meds. Zoloft is one.. I know they dislike to prescribe this for teens and young adults due to an increased risk of suicide... BUT if you are being monitored.. and you KNOW about the risk... and will NEVER act on the idea of killing your self... it may be a good idea. My son like you.. suffers from anxiety... as do I.. it is herditary in some cases.. my son has been on zoloft now for 3 yrs.. and what a difference... he is more open... he is happier.. and has had almost no panic/anxiety attacks..
when you feel one coming on... make sure you breath.. it's very important to breath in and out. slowly and deeply. remind your self that it will pass. that you know it won't kill you even though it feels like it. Believe me I understand completly...
Talk to the doc.. talk to your parents. this is something that needs attention.. anxiety can lead to early high blood pressure.. that's not good for you... lack of sleep...%26lt;I haven't had a decent sleep in years%26gt;.. all things that are not good for your body...
Don't let up on them until they listen.. you need something to help you through this.. and therapy will help.. but it sounds like you need something immediate for the short term...
good luck.. and feel better!
Please have your parents read this:
"A panic attack is a period of intense, often temporarily debilitating, sense of extreme fear or psychological distress, typically of abrupt onset. Though it is often a purely terrifying feeling to the sufferer, panic attacks are actually an evolutionary body response often known as the fight-or-flight response occurring out of context. Symptoms may include trembling, shortness of breath, heart palpitations, chest pain (or chest tightness), sweating, nausea, dizziness (or slight vertigo), light-headedness, hyperventilation, paresthesias (tingling sensations), and sensations of choking, smothering and dreamlike and disconnected sensations. During a panic attack, the body typically releases large amounts of adrenaline into the bloodstream. Many first time sufferers of a panic attack believe they are dying, going insane or having a heart attack. Many say panic attacks are the most frightening experiences of their lives. Repeated and seemingly unprovoked panic attacks may be a sign of panic disorder, but panic attacks are associated with other anxiety disorders as well. For example, people who suffer from phobias may experience panic attacks upon exposure to certain triggers. People with panic disorder often can be successfully treated with therapy and/or anti-anxiety medication or antidepressants."
You are showing the symptoms of having panic attacks. Your parents need to take this seriously. Your doctor needs to take you seriously. You actually need to see a Psychiatrist, so you can get medication. A Psychologist can't write a prescription.
You are under a lot of stress with final exams coming up. That is probably what is triggering your panic attacks. The medications for anxiety work well, but one of the side effects is that they will make you drowsy. The most common medications are Xanax, Klonopin, and Ativan. I have tried all three. One medication that doesn't cause drowsiness is Buspar. I have read about it, and it says that it's not a fast acting medication, and it could take up to two weeks to feel it working.
Please continue to talk with your parents. They really need to understand that something is wrong. If they won't listen, go to your school counselor. You may only need the medications to get you through finals. They aren't meant for long term use anyway, because they can become addictive. I have only taken them on an "as needed" basis. Once you get through finals, I would recommend going to therapy. You can go through anxiety management, and that will help you with it. There are breathing exercises that work wonderfully.
wow this same thing happened to me today (though school is out for me). I was feeling fine when all of a sudden i got a pain in my chest. I have pretty bad anxiety and panic attacks and Im about to turn 14. I'm pretty positive the chest pain is only from anxiety so just tell yourself that while its hurting and it WILL go away. I always tell myself "this will pass". It really helps.
it sounds like panic attacks and it also sounds like you are a hypochondriac which is someone who always worries about dying and illnesses. My a doctor can help you
See panic attacks at http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~shaneris... on page 8, and practise one of the 5 relaxation methods on page 2, daily. It is a "fight or flight response" inherited from our ancestry as animals: fine for then - not so good now. Accept that you won't die from it.
