May 29th, 2008 | By Rebbekah | Category: Panic Attacks, Shows, UncategorizedWhat can you do if you are challenged yourself with fears, phobias, or OCD?
What can you do for someone that you care about? Dr. Sally Witt is here today to help us understand panic attacks, controlling our fears and phobias and help shed some light on how to take out the stress in our lives and get to the root of the problem.
Hear about how Rebbekah White was rushed to the hospital thinking she was having a heart attack yesterday only to learn that she had a massive panic attack…
NOTE FROM Rebbekah:“The scarest thing to happen to me most recently happened this Tuesday. While working on the computer, no worries, actually a very good morning no stress…it started when I laid down for a small morning nap since my hours are very sporatic I was tired and laid down, I woke up about 30 minutes later with a pain in my neck. I got up and went to sit at my computer just to see if the pain went away. It didn’t within 15 minutes I had cold sweats, numbness in both my hands, the shakes, dizziness, and my heart was going a hundred miles an hour…I thought I was having a heart attack. So I called 911. After being in the ER for several hours I was released with what was called a Massive Panic Attack. Now I have had those before, but this one really scared me to bits!….why am I writing all this? The one thing both the paramedics and the doctor told me is that heart attacks and panic attacks can have the same symptoms and while this time it was just a panic attack, if I should ever have these same feelings again to still call 911 because it could have been a heart attack…so no matter what you think, don’t waste time if you are unsure. Even if it turns out to be nothing, I will say that panic attacks are not nothing but you know what I mean…it is always better to error on the side of caution then to have it turn out that it could have been something worse.”
i do suffer from ocd and anxiety what i do is take natural supplementations like B-Vitamins and tryptophan.
