I am a mother of 2 girls, ages 3 and 5. My 3 year old gives me a lot of trouble, she is very defiant and anything I try never seems to work. This has been going on for a little over 2 years now and my physical and mental well-being are finally taking a beating. Last year I experienced my first anxiety attack, it came out of nowhere while I was riding with my mother taking my children to the county fair. I went to the ER and they did and EKG, chest x-ray and an albuterol breathing treatment. When my hear check came back okay, they sent me home with Tamiflu because they thought I was coming down with Swine Flu. Well, my husband and kids went to my mothers for a few days because we were afraid they would catch what I had. Turned out, I wasn't sick at all. I followed up with my regular doctor, who said it sounded as though I had an anxiety attack. 2 weeks later it happened again. My doctor had given me medicine, but I was too stubborn to take it. Now, I'm almost 29 years old and just yesterday I had another panic/anxiety attack. It's so scary, I truly feel like I may die. I can't catch my breath, I'm hot and cold, I feel sick, weak in the knees, and worst of all I begin to panic which amplifies all of those feelings. Has anyone out there found a medication that works well for this? I'm willing to try whatever I have to do now because I don't like feeling as though I may not make it through my attack to see my children again. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks so much and good luck to all of you as well!
