I have anxiety disorder and take meds for it but this month I’ve had multiple panic attacks. My period is 9 days late. Is my anxiety causing this?
Yes physical and emotional stress and anxiety can delay periods.
i think whats been going on with me are anxiety attacks. and my mom wants to take me to get a physical to see if i do o_O. i dont understand how a physical can tell me if i do have anxiety attacks or not. can you explain?
You are probably going to the doctor to talk to him/her about your systems. This is how they determine if you have anxiety.

Panic and Anxiety Disorder – Tips to Stop Them
When left untreated panic and anxiety disorders can get downright nasty. If you do not learn how to control them they can take over your life and have devastating effect on your personal and professional life. If you just leave your panic attacks untreated, they may get so bad that you can no longer function normally on a day to day basis.

Hi
Yes it is possible to stop panic attacks and get effective and lasting treatment for panic and anxiety attacks, I and my colleagues worldwide have been helping people overcome these issues for many years.
The most effective treatment for anxiety attacks is, in my opinion and experience, a combination of approaches from the fields of NLP and hypnotherapy, or hypnosis.
Panic attacks are a self fulfilling prophesy, as are many issues, and it really does not matter, even slightly, how they begun. Sometimes someone has a virus which causes shortness of breath and other symptoms of a panic attack (that can sometimes seem like a heart attack to the victim), sometimes someone has a horrible experience which causes them to panic, and often people have no idea where the panic came from in the first place. Like I say, though, it really does not matter how they started.
What everyone who has learned to do panic attacks has in common is this. They worry about panic attacks, they are anxious about panicking, and it is this fear of the fear that sustains the problem in someone neurology. Its a loop, a vicious circle in the mind, a bit like watching a horrible TV program in your mind that you hate, but you cant seem to watch over and over again.
What we do fundamentally train the person to stop being anxious about having a panic attack, and with NLP and hypnosis, train and educate the mind so that you become calm and centred once more. And because we are not dealing with the origin of the problem, the work is often very quick, and usually very effective. Get back in control of your life again and contact us for help today.

Determine whether it is panic, or anxiety attacks:
Anxiety Attacks Versus Panic Attacks
There are some differences between anxiety
and panic attacks. While books are written
on this topic, this lesson will attempt to
summarize some basics here for a brief
overview.
Anxiety Attacks
An anxiety attack, sometimes
referred to as a panic attack, is an
unforeseen periods or incidents where there
is a sudden fright or fear of intense
proportions. These attacks focus on fears
that are most often not rational; however the
person with the disorder believes he or she
is in terrible danger or at extreme risk.
Most often these anxiety attacks occur all of
a sudden; i.e. they are not planned nor do
they come with any type of warning mechanism
built in for advance action. Results are that
the person suffering the attack will feel
about to faint or near death’s door.
People who suffer anxiety attacks report the
following symptoms, listed in no particular
order:
Discomfort or pain in the chest Vertigo or
Dizziness Upset stomach / Nausea Loss of
Control, Loss of Mental Stability Stress
Cold or hot flashes Heart palpitations or
near heart attack Shallow breathing Shakes /
Trembling
Anxiety disorder is characterized as having
anxiety feelings that are "always there / all
inclusive," make people want to isolate
themselves from society and hamper everyday
activities with others.
Panic Attacks
On the other hand, a panic attack does not
carry with it that "always there"
association. In fact, panic episodes
generally burst forth, peaking after
roughly10 minutes or so, then ending after
about 25 minutes.
During a panic attack, 4 of the symptoms
listed below (in no particular order)
generally make an appearance:
Shallow breathing, even to the point of
suffocation sensation…
Increased heart rates Tightness of chest
Shakes / Trembling / Sweating Choking
sensation Upset Stomach / Nausea Vertigo
Surreal feelings Loss of Control, especially
of mental faculties Death coming on Numbing
Cold or hot flashes
The Difference
The main difference between anxiety attacks
and panic attacks is in the duration of the
attack and how intense it is for the person
with the affliction. While anxiety attacks
are less hi-stress, they tend to last longer
than the power-packed panic stressors.
I have anxiety attacks and sometimes have to go to the hospital for stroke like symptoms.. numbness, tunnel vision, black outs, cold/hot sweat, weakness etc. I finally figured out that it was my anxiety. but the last time it happened I was on bipolar meds and my hubby rushed me to the er because he said my lips were blue. it’s pretty scary. can I die from this if I didn’t have meds for it?
I don’t think it can actually kill you, but it can definitely cause you to pass out. Some of the symptoms you described (tingling, numbness, weakness) are caused by hyperventilation. Your nervous system gets overloaded with stress and you start breathing too fast and you don’t get enough oxygen. (Or maybe it’s too much oxygen, I’m not sure)…but in any case, it throws off the oxygen and C02 balance in your body and so you start feeling dizzy and all kinds of other symptoms. But you also get a sudden adrenaline rush and that causes a "Fight or Flight" response…you feel absolutely terrified. Your brain perceives a threat that actually isn’t there, and it kicks your body into overdrive to try to get ready for a threat. It’s like a false alarm and it doesn’t turn off.
A panic attack is absolutely terrifying. I’ve had problems with depression off and on since I was a kid. I went through a severe depression several years ago, and I’ve been having problems again. But this time, I also have a panic disorder. I had this really weird feeling of "dread" or "doom" like something bad was about to happen. Then I started having panic attacks almost every day. It’s horrible…you feel like you’re going crazy, and you feel like you’re becoming "disconnected" from the world. You feel disoriented. Sometimes you feel like you’re dying.
I don’t think it can actually kill you, but it’s disabling because your are so overcome with fear and you feel like you’re going crazy.
The big problem with a panic disorder if you don’t get it treated is that it can get worse and progress into other psychological problems. It can lead to agoraphobia, where you might be afraid to even leave the house. Thank God I never got to that point…but I can see how people can wind up that way.
If you are seeing a psychiatrist right now, you need to tell them what’s going on. A panic disorder can be an entirely different thing from whatever problems you have with bipolar depression. An anti-anxiety medication might help. I went back to counseling and I’m taking Xanax right now, and that has definitely helped. I don’t get that weird feeling of "doom" anymore and it’s been a while since I’ve had a full blown panic attack.
I don’t think a panic attack in itself can kill you…but all that stress definitely can’t be good for you long term.
By the way, I’m not saying that medication is the answer for everything, or that you’ll have to take pills for the rest of your life. I’m just saying that right now, you need to get this under control so you don’t feel miserable and you can get your life back on track.
This will calm you down, allowing you to focus on the task at hand. Saved me when I had panic attacks.

I’ve been having anxiety attacks when ever I go anywhere and sometimes I even have them at my house. Should I get medication prescribed to me? What should I do?
They say that anxiety usually manifests during a trauma in your life, or highly stressful time in your life. I got mine about 5 years ago when I was in college and my father was diagnosed with cancer. I went through many tests just to find out i had an anxiety/panic disorder. Go see either a psychiatrist, or a general physician to get some help. Meds helped with my anxiety and panic attacks but the side effects that lingered I couldn’t take anymore. Side effects were lots of weight gain, and derealization/depersonaliztion for me. Every one is different. But it did help though. I just got off them about a month ago, it’s hard but I needed to learn to do it on my own and not depending on something all my life. I read books to make my mind think of something else other than negative thoughts. Listen to music, hang out with positive people, try to laugh more, go out and get some sun light, find a new hobby that will occupy your mind. That’s the trick, you have to always keep your mind at peace. It’s not easy, but you have to try. No one deserves to go through life with this horrid disorder. And remember that things always get worse before they get better.
