Anxious....

Usually I'm a calm person but today I feel on edge and anxious and there is no reason for it....ccan't really concentrate on one thing either.

I had a very bad year once with panic attacks. This was about 20 yrs ago when my husband got his first cancer diagnosis...I hyperventilated for some reason and had to go to emergency and they said I had a panic attack. Well after that I was constantly aware of how I was breathing and the fear of doing it again had me all panicky...it took a year with Xanax for it to finally go away, but that was the worst feeling ever.
 

Breathe; you need yoga!
seiously, deep breaths.....and don't try and work out what is wrong....let your subconscious do it..
 
I think I know what is causing my anxiety...the blood test, although a routine I'm imagining getting a call from the dr that something isn't right.

Probably because that's what happened to my husband. Plus I start thinking if something is wrong, I'm all alone here; how will I handle bad news like that, etc.
 
I would recommend that you take some supplements on a daily basis that help with anxiety, nerves, etc. Vitamin B-50 complex will helps with nerves and energy, Magnesium Citrate helps muscles relax, and gives a feeling of calm. Also, the amino acid L-Theanine will help with anxiety and stress. As far as herbs, Chamomile can be taken as a tea, or supplement for more effective dosing. http://www.natmedtalk.com/wiki/Chamomile
 
I can relate somewhat CC. Over the years I've had small bouts of panic attacks. Right out of the blue and would happen at the worst possible times. Since I retired, had maybe two in 14 years. I think my stressful work load brought them on. Usually pass in a week or so.

Just take deep breaths and try to think about something else. Only a couple times did I actually have to leave area.
 
I do....... And I have run out screaming from work, and I have.......you don't want to know any more....
 
For me at that time it was the opposite..I couldn't be home alone...I put my poor husband thru hell then. He would take me to my grandmothers house and pick me up on the weekend.

Im embarrassed in writing this.
 
Don't be silly.....I suspect most people have been through something similar.
you only start getting better when you start talking about it....I know, believe me.

Me too. Hell, I'm not ashamed of anything I've done or may do. I don't even mind going to women doctors.

I don't mind going to women doctors, either:D

CeeCee, I understand. I haven't had a panic attack in dog's years and hope I don't ever have another one.

Breathe in s l o w l y through your nose. Let your breath out s l o w l y through your mouth.
 
I'm better now tha anxious feeling is gone, it helps being on here and focusing on something else besides my body.

Pappy, I've always had men drs and just got a woman a few months ago...didn't like her at first but I'm starting to warm up to her and I get what she is saying....glad I didn't leave and look for a new doc.
 
I've had many students over the years that were susceptible to panic and anxiety attacks. The slow Taijiquan exercises, the focus on the breathing and the meditation all helped immensely in almost every case.

For those of whom it did not work, I just beat them up and they had something new to think about. :devilish:
