When you finally accept that what you feel is only because of anxiety, for me, it reduces a lot of the symptoms i had
reading this helped me a bit almost instantly
@@MitchellWiggs same 👍
Been there. Very scary. After two trips to the ER and no diagnosis, I diagnosed myself. Eliminated caffeine and resumed a meditation practice. It helps.
I had to do the exact same. I legit thought I was having a heart attack.
@@vulnikkura Same here had a bad one a few days ago. I felt like my heart was coming out of my chest and hard a time breathing. I am so glad Dr. Marks explained/clarified all of this. Now that I know what is going on I can try and manage it better.
Same here, tight chest oh actually feeling something coming on.
What medication should i take for treatment?? I'm suffering from very high level of panic Attacks and shorten of breath ,death touches me almost on every attack... I'm using benzos regularly huge quantity Alprazolam, bromazepam.
. PLEASE HELP ME WITH TREATMENT MEDICATION
You're not alone. I've been to the ER as well, only to be told I'm fine.
It's horrible, i often get them and it's terrifying. People underestimate it unless they go through it. More media need to show what it's like. It's not nice when people just tell you to calm down, if anything it makes it worse. Thanks for your videos
It truly does makes them worse or when they look at you like you’re crazy. I know all too well my friend xx♥️
Calm down has never in History ever calmer Anyone down! Lol Meditation on the other hand might.
@@annieseaside thanks, never tried meditation. Any suggestions?
@@justjules6975 thanks, my medical workers even do this.
@@paulflint6254 I’ve had them do it too🤬
Something like this happened to me. It lasted a few days and I actually felt it physically. It was some of the worst prolonged existential dread I've ever experienced. Caffeine might have definitely had something to do with it.
This year alone I went to ER twice and to a clinic twice because of anxiety leading to panic attacks. One doctor have sit me in and talked to me about life, what is happening to me and assured me that I am okay and I should live my life. Though I still feel the anxiety occasionally, I've learn to deal with it (In most cases). When things gets worst, I go to youtube and watch videos like this to help me align myself again. I hope one day all of us will be free from this chain. Goodluck everyone! I know you can do this ❤️
Yes..I really am praying sooo hard that heaven free us from this mental prison of anxiety😢
Dr. Marks, I appreciate that you answered the question straight away and didn't drag it out. Thanks! That's so important for anxiety sufferers and those who struggle to focus on longer videos. I am still watching though ;)
As someone who suffers from severe panic disorder, the last thing I want to see is the video thumbnail that says ‘panic attacks fatal’… images like that can get in mind be a trigger… but I do appreciate the information you’re providing to help people like me.
Very very true!!!
I had a panic attack 2 hours ago then this popped up on my suggested. I always feel like I’m going to die but I know I won’t. Well. Fear has been answered
My dad had a panic attack (1 of over 1000 over his 74+ year lifetime). He fell, hit his head, started bleeding, went to hospital via ems and died of a heart attack.
I know it’s a year later but I am so sorry to hear that. I hope for strength for your family.
My history of pannic attacks and how to get through them actually saved me from choking. A noodle was knotted around my ugula and into my wind pipe. I had to calm myself through the gagging and find long tweezers to remove it.
I think knowing you've survived all the symptoms can build confidence that it will be OK.
Love you all xox
as a person who also suffers from panic attacks and health anxiety this statement is true 6:20
I just want to say thank you for saving my life. I tried to email you I tried to message on instagram and TikTok so this is my last attempt to reach out but thank you so much! I was diagnosed with BPD and adhd. I went to dbt and still struggled 3 years later to today I’ve been on bipolar medication for 1 year and noticed a huge difference in both my bipolar and my bpd. If it wasn’t for you posting videos about both separately and together I would not be alive today. Thank you so much for not giving up on us and giving us so much education. I show your videos to my councillor and my psychiatrist when I feel they don’t hear what I’m saying. And they finally heard my cry for help.
I’ve been diagnosed with bipolar 1 disorder with BPD adhd and autism spectrum disorder. My bipolar was very much the “atypical” type that my psychiatrist didn’t even recognize till I showed him that video. So again thank you and I hope you get to see this because you are literally saving lives in other countries.
From a fellow Canadian! I owe my life to you in helping me get to where I am today and not 6 feet below. ❤
This amazing woman has saved my life and helped me improve my mental health. I’m so grateful for her videos.
This woman is the first ever person on youtube who gets exactly what panic disorder is.
I had a panic attack last night and I’m still trying to get over it this morning so this upload is very timely. Thanks Dr Marks, your delivery and insights are very soothing right now
I’ve seen practitioners say to sit with the symptoms which is very hard but not impossible. If I remember to do it I like to challenge the symptoms. If it’s heart racing I say go faster, can’t you go faster or even starting running in place (if I’m at home of course😅) and it stops usually. Always check your breathing and make sure your breaths come from the stomach slow and steady. When I was diagnosed with panic disorder I had to be taught to breathe normally again. I was hyperventilating constantly causing so many symptoms. Sending you love xx♥️ Watch The Holistic Psychologist too she does a lot on inner child work. I believe a lot of us who suffer these disorders also have trauma. Feel better!♥️🙏
@@justjules6975 thank you for these tips!! The most reliable way for me to calm down is to FaceTime someone (I’m very very introverted so the list is short, but usually my partner or if he’s not available, my sister or dad) just so they can perceive me and I can verbally ventilate (as Pete Walker calls it.) I’m a big fan of the holistic psychologist! I’m so grateful for all the trauma-informed practitioners that are putting out content right now, that kind of thing has helped me more than I can put into words. I have cPTSD from childhood so yes there’s definitely trauma underlying my panic attacks as well. I empathize with needing to relearn how to breathe! I tend to hold my breath without realizing it and then panic when I start to feel dizzy "for no reason" lol. Wishing you the best, check out the Crappy Childhood Fairy (aka Anna Runkle) on RUclips if you also have childhood ptsd, she has been a wealth of information as well ❤️❤️
@@Fae313 You’re welcome! I’m so sorry you suffer too🥺 My father sexual abused me, I’m a two time rape survivor and DV survivor. It’s challenging to feel safe out there but I have faith in you! I have my days in bed under a cover but I fight like hell to be ok too. Keep your beautiful head up xx♥️
@@justjules6975 I’m so so sorry you were subjected to that trauma as a child. A father SAing his child is the most egregious, unthinkably cruel abuse of power and trust that I can imagine. You deserved so much more protection and love and I hope you find that as an adult. I’ve been r*ped twice too, it’s so insane how being traumatized as a child sets us up for further abuse. But we’re strong and we’re breaking the cycle!! I believe in you too, clearly you’re an incredible person to be here today to tell your story. As the Buddhists say, may you be happy, may you be healthy, may you be safe, and may you live with ease 🕉️
@@Fae313 Thank you so much you made me smile xx♥️
Panic attacks are no joke. I used to suffer for a couple years having them almost daily or multiple times a day.
I almost didn't click on this video. I have horrible panic attacks. Thank you so much. I have so much peace after watching this as I've had some really hectic ones ❤️❤️❤️
Anyone else have to wait for a non-anxiety day to watch this one, so you don't set off a panic attack ? 😂
I watched it to help me get over one lol
YESSSS DAMN IT 😢
I’m watching because I’m going through it
I'm literally having one right now, I believe in fighting it head-on. If I get an attack, it's an opportunity to practice techniques.
@@Weluvz2ROCKMe too. I glad she started off with reassurance!
I’m not scared of dying during a panic attack at all. It’s the opposite I’m scared of. I have panic attacks daily ever since I got a debilitating chronic illness years ago so the awareness of it never stopping is what’s terrifying. It doesn’t stop. No medication, no technique has made it stop. It’s a constant severe panic attack for years.
I’m so scared of wasps that if one gets in my car, I have to make sure I don’t jump out into moving traffic without looking.
I've jumped out of my car in the expressway because of a spider🥺! I still don't remember HOW I parked.
I'll take my chances with the on going traffic
Can panic attacks make it feel like you're having a heart attack too? Like a numbing sensation in your arm and your heart hurting really badly? I had a panic attack some weeks ago and it took me almost a whole week for my chest to stop hurting...
That happened to me! With a Delta-8 THC drink. I thought I was having an allergic reaction. My throat was closing up and I couldn't stop talking. My partner called 911 and they took me to the hospital.
What about chest pain? That's a common panic symptom too. How do you know that you are not having a heart attack? It would be helpful to know the difference in those symptoms.
I’ve eliminated added sugar and caffeine from my diet and it really helps. I also recommend not playing fps video games that cause your heart rate to increase and those of us prone to panic attacks, playing those games def makes that worse and I know believe me from all the heart palpitations I deal with that leads to serious anxiety in which I start getting bad chest pain from 😮😢
The issues with the throat feeling as if tight or restricted. I noticed maybe a few weeks ago that this is a new symptom for me with anxiety. It's crazy how it plays with your mind to think that you're having a real emergency situation. I had to start telling myself that it's anxiety and to let it pass on its own. It always has.
The right information is power.
I had a couple severe panic attacks and called an ambulance. So bad that I was convinced the second one was also life-threatening, lol. I've since cleaned up my lifestyle, and have really effective coping tools/quick ways to reduce anxiety, but at the time I thought I was doomed. I had a wide range of symptoms, but 1 worth mentioning to put into perspective was my heart rate was 150bpm, or over for hours. I was given valium at the hospital and still had a heart rate that high hours after. I was sober too.
@@ZerooNOS 174?!?!? Yikes! And yes, it's amazing how powerful just recognizing it as anxiety is.
@aQuarelle Cyrel It's crazy how many people have the same story, but the general public doesn't take it seriously. And yikes, having covid at the same time.
I had one exactly a week ago. My heart rate went up to 184, according to my apple watch. I thought the worst was happening
@ Yeah, man, it's extremely uncomfortable. When you don't know what it is, it's very hard to not think you're in trouble, lol.
@ I refuse the load it on my app because of those reasons right there
I experience it as "I can't breath" If I remember it being due to anxiety, then I tell myself that I will be fine in 10 minutes and that often helps me.
Hello Dr Tracy I would love to see you do a video about the many unknown symptoms of dehydration that can trigger panic attacks especially if you're not aware of the sensation that you're feeling is actually just dehydration and not another serious underlying issue. It's something I struggle with once in awhile even though I'm well aware of it every time it happens and it sneaks up on me I feel a new sensation in my body and my mind tries to trick me into a panic attack so I would love to see you talk about it and maybe bring awareness to others that had no idea all the crazy things dehydration can do to your body.
Thanks for this comment. I am a medical provider and try to tell patients (and personal contacts) about the risks of dehydration. Mild chronic dehydration stresses every organ system. The more drugs you are on, particularly psychiatric meds, the older you are, or the more physically fragile you are, chronic mild dehydration can harm you. And yes, it can appear that you are "stressed", "worn out", etc.
Cathy and Malia thank you. I did not know this. I'm prone to dehydration, which also triggers migraines, and have never experienced this.
@@Cathy-xi8cb how can we completely hydrate? I drink a lot of water and electrolytes but sometimes I feel I’m still dehydrated. Yesterday, for the first time I took a Salt Pill and that helped me a lot but I don’t know if I should take it every day
I had a panic attack so bad I can still remember it about ten years or so later.
Felt like I was having a heart attack and I had to literally sit at a bus stop like an older person until it passed. Scary asf, feeling like you're about to die.
I also had a really awful panic attack at the ER. Waiting for a while to see the doctor. By the time I saw her she monitored my heart on the ekg and she said i was fine. And she told me I had anxiety! Very bad experience.
I get nauseous, tachycardia, sweaty and severe impending Doom. I have been going through this since 18. Found it I have high blood pressure, sleep apnea and arrhythmia.
Point is I got diagnosed with all this and I am working on getting healthy, the blood pressure alone caused panic attacks due to being in hypertensive crisis. Once on blood pressure pills I got way better. It took me 20 + cardiologist to find issues. They are real and effect you physically so be adamant on your health and health care
Thank you ma’am you help me feel comfortable I’m from philippines and I have anxiety and panic attack
I can definitely relate .. I've gone to the Emergency Room several times due to anxiety and panic attacks ...
My good friend had a panic attack and a heart attack while still dealing with the panic attack. It does happen but I have panic attacks and I’m not worried about having a heart attack while having a panic attack but I’ve done years of therapy and while I can’t prevent my panic attacks I’ve learned how to process through them.
The panic may have actually came from the heart attack. Heart issues can cause an impending sense of doom like a panic attack.
Heart attacks usually cause panic attacks and a sense of doom/dread. That's one of the most common symptoms.
I also have panic disorder and agoraphobia which is a behavior problem where I am scared of having a attack and the I do
I have both too xx♥️
My throat closing actually triggered a panic attack that causing a further sensation of throat closing. I was drinking tea when I accidentally aspirated some of the liquid which caused a laryngospasm (in other words I accidentally water boarded myself). The panic from the laryngospasm which lasted for about 20 - 30 seconds caused me to go into a full blown panic attack that drove the initial sensation of my throat closing to last an additional 2 hours. During that time my pulse oximeter showed a highly irregular heartbeat that kept fluctuating from 100 - 130 beats per minute (low end tachycardia) and my blood oxygen saturation was slightly lower than normal (96% instead of 99% - 100%). Because I also suffer from an autoimmune disorder with Reynauds as one of the presenting symptoms, all of a sudden my pulse oximeter showed very off the wall readings (60% - 65% oxygen saturation which is basically brain death and a heart rate of 160 beats per minute). Raynauds causes vasoconstrictions in ones extremities which explains why my blood oxygen saturation was so low and my hands were already starting to turn pallor from the Reynauds attack which finally tipped me off that I needed to put my pulse oximeter away as I wasn’t going to get accurate readings from it any more that night. Eventually my throat opened up (i.e., the sensation of having something stuck in it went away) and my panic attack subsided. All that started with a bit of water going down the wrong pipe. Now that I know what water boarding feels like I would never agree to it being used on anyone as no matter how much you want to extract information from someone whatever you get would be totally useless as during the period following my laryngospasm and the ensuing panic attack I’d have been willing to say and confess to anything just for it to go away.
ONCE AGAIN, DR T answers a question nobody else has.... "Claw hand".... I thought for sure it was from my back pain as a hard worker for many years, possibly rubbing on nerves or a bad vertebrae. But it happens to the point where I thought I was having heart problems. The sharp pain that shoots down my arm and into my hand the "rigamortis" feeling in my fingers suddenly and sharply and then it slowly dissipates.
Thank you for the explanation. I have had a few panic attacks and did think I was dying and did go to emergency.
I concur with others who were appreciative that you got right to the point and answered the Q immediately. I am going to show this video to my OH who was told in A&E by a nurse that he needed to get his breathing under control or he'd have a heart attack. It's taken literally years to persuade him that the nurse was wrong.
Nurse not a Doctor
I have had a severe panic attack in a hospital at the nurses desk in ICU, they said I walked out of my fathers room, was very pale, sat down in the floor and tried to put my head between my knees but fell back and started having siezures down my right side. I had been in a very bad car accident the year before with a head injury to the left side. I still to this day cannot go to a doctors office or a hospital to even visit without ending up in the bathroom or the chapel laying down trying to slow my breathing. That was 30 years ago and it has ruled my life since then.
I’m so sorry. That’s so hard. Have you tried EMDR therapy to reframe that incident?
@@justjules6975 Unfortunately I do not have insurance and cannot afford to walk into a dr's office so I have just had to learn how to control with the help of people such as yourself. I am 60 now and I really think being older and just more experienced at life helps put things in a different perspective. I do have my days though, some days are hard and some days are beautiful.
@@anitarollins156 I was there many years and many life changes and the virus pushed me to seek treatment again. I do have insurance now and haven’t been able to see anyone in 2 years because that’s how far the system has fallen. Follow the holistic psychologist too. I find her advice and work very helpful. xx♥️ Be whole, be well♥️
Please get therapy for this. Your brain injury is concerning. With age, your risks increase.
@@Cathy-xi8cb I wish it were that simple. I would have to choose between paying the power bill and going into a doctors office and with the way prices are today I am just about to the point of choosing between power bill and food. I am fine, I have a peaceful life, a lot of aches and pains but I get up and go to work and have grandkids etc. I live in a state that does not give medical assistance to someone of my age who has raised their kids without government assistance and has always paid their own way but you let a 28 year old need to go to the suboxone clinic and my state will pay for it! I could get on a soapbox on that but I digress.
During a very stressful time in my life, I had a stress induced heart attack. At first I thought it was a really bad anxiety attack… but the symptoms continued to get worse. It was a SCAD (spontaneous coronary arterial dissection) heart attack… apparently the leading cause of heart attacks in women under 50… yet many of us haven’t heard of it… anyway… sometimes that panic attack isn’t a panic attack at all.
While I'm not minimizing your experience, as it sounds awful, the prevalence of this happening is 0.0025% in the human population. I think that's important for people with anxiety and panic to know. The most common causes usually have to do with hormones or hormonal use, lupus or other connective tissue diseases which weaken the vessels, or a blunt injury to the artery.
I think this is a much bigger issue that Dr Marks would need input from the likes of MedLife Crisis on. The "classic" or typucal symptoms of heart attack can be quite different in women, and there has been some attempt to increase awareness of this in the UK over last couple of years...in the public and medical doctors.
Had a panic attack at work where half my face went numb and it freaked me out even more because normally you hear that happen when people have strokes.
Boy I wish these videos were around when I was in college, I started having panic in lecture hall, (during a psychology class, haha).. I felt like people were looking at me, and that. I was choking and couldn't breathe! So scary, didn't think I'd get thru that year. Thought I was going crazy! Wish I had started meds sooner than I did, the SSRI Citalopram was a lifesaver when I was 27
Thank you for these videos!! ❤️
Been there too many times!!! Even had Doc. Cardiologist do a angiogram in 90s
When I was younger my panic attacks made me nauseous n vomity but now that I'm older they do feel like heart attacks - from the chest pains to the sweating. Did they morphe? (or did I)
Both! Maybe you’re not dealing with what’s causing them. If you have unresolved trauma work on that♥️
I have a massive phobia of my heart - I can't even type HA. When I have a panic attack and my heart goes really fast I'm certain that it will cause a HA. I sit still and try not to move, and that has been my life for 32 years. It's a prison.
Thank you doc...😢😢
Everytime I have a panic attack my blood pressure arises like from 115 to 145 or so 😔 please talk about this issue Doctor 🙏🏽
Hello, Mrs Marks, this is off topic and I almost never do this, but seriously I want to say this..
What a naturally beautiful and elegant woman you are.
I tried delta-9 gummies and had a bad panic attack, it triggered all the mental health issues I had. Taking it to 100. Psychosis top level and it was because I thought my throat was closing . They kept me in the ER for 8 hours to make sure i didn't try to hurt myself. I should of did more research.
It's a rather grim thought but panic disorder and suicide do have a high correlation. So panic attacks may not individually kill you but the constant barrage of feelings of panic over a long period of time can cause real despair and hopelessness in a patient and a desire to end the pain.
You hit the nail on the head with that comment. I really hate panic attacks. I poop and pee on myself uncontrollable when I have a bad panic attack. I do my best to avoid triggers and I take medication daily.
This is very true. All I think about is when is it going to end 😢
I had a similar panic attack after coloring my hair. They told me it was a panic attack, but since than, I’ m afraid while showering. Thank you for sharing. 🙏🏻😻🧿
Your videos are so informative. Thank you!
How are daily panic attacks treated and what is the best medicine for them?
I use clonazepam
For me it was an antidepressant, benzo, beta blocker combo. That was 38 years ago though and my diagnosis was prolonged. The doctor thought I had a health issue because the panic was so constant and physical. I would say breath work and inner child work are critical. Checking on yourself everyday as far as managing stress and dealing with emotions. Therapy definitely. I myself are more likely to have them when I feel out of control or not heard. I’m an abuse survivor.
For me it was an antidepressant, Benzo, and Propranolol (beta blocker).
having one on a motorcycle at 65 mph in the harbor tunnel or on the Chesapeake bay bridge where you cannot pullover could be fatal. You wont die directly from the panic attack but there are situations that it could be deadly to have one !
When the average person talks about using a "vaporizer," they're actually talking about an Atomizer, Cartomizer, or Clearomizers. They all involve a heated coil that heats up a liquid suspension of terpenes and other chemicals. One of the big selling points of these is the "vape cloud," which is some type of sexual fetish, but I digress.
When inhaling from these devices, you're inhaling a vapor that is created from heating up these liquids. I tried these a few times, and there is something in these chemicals that produces a very strong cough.
If you're truly vaporizing, a good example would be using a PAX device to heat ground up dry leaf. In this scenario, the ground dried leaf product is heated to approximately 400F, and this VAPORIZES the oils and crystals on the leaves. With this, there is no "cloud," and in some cases you won't even see anything when you exhale in warm weather. The vaporized ground dry leaf can be saved for later, as the leaf itself still contains THC.
Nothing is burning, and there are no laboratory chemicals or suspension liquids involved or required. The air being drawn in, as well as the oils and crystals, generate the vapor when heated.
Our society has decided that "vaping" is the generic verb for this type of activity. Ironic that it ends up demonizing the one process that is less damaging by leaps and bounds. And too much of those liquid carts can produce an effect called "popcorn lung." You don't want that.
I don’t know what’s wrong with me, but I don’t feel afraid of dying, I feel OVERLY TERRIFIED of uncontrollably screaming at the top of my lungs and suffering unimaginable pure terror and derealization that won’t stop no matter how terrified I am, and I’ll just be stuck in that state while everyone around me thinks I’m crazy and/or somehow intentionally misbehaving.
I’m afraid this happening is also the only way say, my job will believe that I’m not faking being sick, but then I’d probably be terminated anyway, and of course that’d mean no more health insurance.
I wish I never even knew what this felt like, I couldn’t wish this experience on anyone.
I’m not even sure if mine are normal panic attacks or something somehow even more severe…..
Sharing this video with a friend because these videos are so helpful. Thank you!
I had a massive , full-blown and horrific panic attack when I smoked weed. Everything turned normal when substance wore off. But after a week, it occurred out of blue, as horrible as when I was high, after this I hadn't any panic attack but only fear of panic attack and fear 😱. I feel for everybod that goes through it
I’ve experienced similar events and 20 years later I’m battling anxiety and panic disorder
Great video. No one really explains it like this.
Omg! I used to have severe panic attacks daily before school and I would hyperventilate and get the "claw hands". I had NO idea why that happened and now I do. Thank you!
I understand it won't kill you .but its a physically exhausting and painful experience
my blood pressure goes to 180 over 120 during a panic attack. this is hypertensive crisis.......
You're not alone. It feels like we're having a freaking heart attack .
How about having panic disorder? Having panic attacks and anxiety daily? How soon will this kill one. I am convinced that this will kill me, since I am 40 now. Everyday I think today would be the last day and try to figure out which one will actually kill me.
thank you Dr Marks - haven't had a panic attack in years (& hopefully never again again) - in some ways feels worse then dying (have I died no - but someone tried damm hard) - anxiety attacks bad enough, but full blown panic attack, please never again! (heart racing, mind fog, PAIN! cold sweat - couldn't move, thank all things good happened at home (when I had a home) - certainly *feels* like you're dying (breathe, calm - this will pass, breathe, calm...) - oh every time I have an anxiety attack, (as painful as they are) thank all things good NOT a panic attack
I haven’t been able to have a normal life because of the panic attacks is hell 🥲🥲
Thank you for this video. I have panic attacks and have often wondered this. I also used to use marijuana pretty regularly but have recently quit because it made me feel that familiar panic sensation. Do you know why marijuana is making me feel like this now?
I know that curve very well - regular nonchalant cannabis use as a teenager and then nothing but severe anxiety at a slightly later point in life. I'd say it just brings up what's inside you anyway.
I bet when I'm dying I'll just think I'm having a panic attack
I lost my youngest son a few months ago. I have been sobbing so bad that I hyperventilate & drool. My face turns to an ice cold sweat. My forehead tingles. My heart beats so loud in my ears & my ears feel funny. Sometimes I can’t hear right. And my arms & legs tingle. My mouth, lips & tongue go numb. My chest & back hurt. And my heart literally aches sometimes! I have balance issues but it’s way worse now. The ER was amazing. I had every test before I could sit down for each test. Everything was fine. They told me to take an aspirin & see a neurologist. They thought it was possibly neurological. Still waiting to see neuro. But after that my therapist diagnosed me with PTSD, anxiety & severe panic attacks. I feel like so sick it lasts for days. I feel like I’m going to die sometimes. It’s very scary. I took an aspirin under my tongue today because my chest was hurting & I had three sharp shooting pains in my chest & shoulder. I tried to calm down & breathe. It didn’t happen again. Although my chest still hurts. I have never in my life felt like this.
I lost my only sibling, my brother to suicide in 2011. I lost my best friend, my dad to cancer in 2014. But losing my son is mentally & physically destroying me. The way we lost him was sudden & tragic! And the way the police handled me was absolutely traumatizing!! They took every decision from me. They wouldn’t let me see my son. Or hold my son. They carried me far away. And they wouldn’t even let me see them take him away. I had no closure. The EMT’s said I was in shock! I had nothing to make it real. I had to beg the director a week later to let me see my son. No mother should have to beg! They wouldn’t even let me give him an open casket! That should have been my decision. And we could have waited anyway because he was being cremated. But they rushed me. They took all of my choices away. I lost my son. And they did absolutely nothing to help me grieve. It is a nightmare. And I’m so angry, hurt & sad.
I have loved him his entire life. And I will miss him for the rest of mine. I am now Vilomah! Forever without my baby boy!! I dont know if I will ever recover from this. Especially without help. 💛🕊️
I had bad panic disorder after my wife spent 3 months in the ICU, then died. But strangely, while all of this was happening, I was relatively calm because I was trying to navigate work, being a parent and spending time at the hospital an hour from home. After she died was when the panic and anxiety started. I will say that things get better eventually. The first year was overwhelming but it's very likely you'll get stronger over time and find the treatment that's right for you. For me, accepting and allowing all the panic symptoms as well as the physical sensations has a paradoxical effect that makes them go away. It does take time though, just as it takes time to grieve.
So so sorry your going through this ❤❤❤
Even I suffer wat shall I do plz suggest me
Nice explanation Doc. Doc always Great to watch your enlighting info. On these topics 👍
Tremors (muscle spasms) can also happen from adrenaline dumps after a panic attack no? Happens to me all the time. Hands physically shaking etc. body has to burn it off somehow ?
This is why I never go to the hospital even if I feel like I'm going to die I'll find out out when the feeling is over
I developed a condition called chronic dyspnea from throat/bronchialmtube scaring, where my lungs stopped perceiving most breaths as full (about 1 in 10 feel satisfying) (it feels like someone is sitting on my chest or like I am army crawling everywhere, now constantly every day for over 2 years)
It has often caused panic attacks, more toward when it first occurred and I was really just wanting my normal breath back again.
It's good to know the sensation won't kill me. It is still very difficult to deal with with ADHD as well.
Also, THC has been the only thing that has really helped so far, the spaceiness helps me focus on what I want and less on each incomplete feeling breath. A few different meditation techniques have really helped a lot as well.
Pulmonary rehab can teach you a variety of breathing activities and positions. Get a referral today. You are exactly the kind of patient they can help!!
Thank you for the suggestion Cathy. My pulmonologist just discovered detectable hyperinflation in an xray (of my lungs, not the economy), they are wanting an accurate diagnosis before starting a treatment plan I think. I do wish medical things were a little more organized to be accessible in a general sense, hopefully we get there here in the States.
Did this the other person really suggest someone is curing a hunter genetic variation with herbs?
Thank you so much for posting this video. You really helped me in my time of need. I appreciate that, thank you so much 🙏
But do frequent and prolonged panic attacks have harmful effects on your heart and brain?
A few years ago my oldest high school aged grand daughter smoked weed while out with friends.
She apparently got high and had an anxiety attack and an ambulance was called. She was fine afterwards but it was a major embarrassment for her.
Turned out to be a positive Scared Straight moment for her younger siblings because to date none of them have any interest in smoking or vaping.
I mean even if someone tells you the symptoms will go away and that you won't die
I mean I still feel the symptoms it just doesn't help cause for me it's still real it just doesn't make a difference knowing that it's just in my head or something
like for me it's real
This video is so helpful, thank you very much!
Thank you for this. Calling the throat closing is a "sensation". That was surprisingly calming to me.
The worst feeling for the breath, and feellinf to hot
I know people who use vaping as a form of harm reduction, or because they have asthma. Smoking or vaping can trigger asthma, and if you have anxiety on top of it those sensations can become a vicious cycle.
What about if the panic disorder rasies your blood pressure dangerously high and a heart rate over 200 together? My labs for the blood pressure came back perfect its my panic disorder it's severe do i increase my medication/add new or take medication for blood pressure??? I wish you could be my doctor sooooo badly I'm struggling and the doctor's just don't hear me🥺
Important information to stop people from scarring themselves
When i had my first panic attack it was the scariest thing ever for me, i thought thats it, im done for good.(heart attack) 😅 But no, After going to the hospital and doing ECG it came all clear for me and the doctors. Then, the second panic attack happened, wich was after 6 months since the first one hit me and realising i was still alive i wasn't afraid anymore, although, i rushed to the doctors again doing blood tests, ECG, and scans, and still NOTHING!! 🤪 ...Doctors said its all due to anxiety and stress, because they could not find anything else wrong with me so that really made me think positive and it helped trusting myself alot even though i am still dealing with anxiety atleast i have managed it very well and what we need to do is to accept it and not fight it... that way, your mind forgets about it and if it comes agaim you just stay calm and you tell your mind that its just a panic attack and some fast heart rates, nothing really harmful.
That way, your body has learned to calm itself down and the next time it happens over and over again? The symptoms get more less day after day untill they have completely gone! 😁
What you really need to do to help your own self as well is to change your lifestyle, have a healthy diet, Meditate and exercise more. 🙂
Things wich can worsen your Anxiety symptoms are Googling your symptoms, measuring your pulse or heart beat everytime, Overthinking to much, Taking Anti-depressant pills, Staying locked inside home overusing your phone, Not interracting socialy in reall life, Smoking, Vaping, Using drug substances, Drinking Alcohol, Eating ready processed foods with additives and sugars, drinking Caffeine or Energy drinks and other harmful things. 🚫👎
The balance is in your own hands 🤲❤
I had the throat lump many times and I kept pulling on my shirt thinking my shirt was too tight around my throat but it was anxiety and it's very hard to swallow too
I’ve been to the ER more times than I can count, thinking that I was dying. My panic attacks wouldn’t manifest the same each time. Chest pain and racing heart, one time. Another time, I couldn’t swallow water or breathe. Another, numbness and tingling on only one side of my body that mimicked a stroke, but ER confirmed it was not.
Panic attacks are an unpredictable bitch. The only consistent thing for me is they come on without any warning at 1-3am hours waking me from a deep sleep, when I was not dreaming, nor having a nightmare.
This is how I ended up on Klonopin, 35 years and counting. If you can find a method of controlling this without medication do it !
Also why do I feel like I can never get angry or fully express it ? Like as If I couldn't have that emotion fire within me
Sounds like you’re afraid of it. If you were never allowed to be angry as a child or witnessed violence you may be afraid to express it yourself. Follow the Holistic psychologist too xx♥️

Panic attack may occur when we are in true real dangerous situation.
Why effects of mobbing are never explained?
When we are in toxic ambient, someone's rude behaviour can trigger our immunity system into havoc.
Auto-immune disorders and such can be triggered by stress and aggressive people.
Long term exposure to narcissistic abuse can cause brain injury.
Also: "According to research, high scores on Atlas' Sensitivity to Criticism scale were often associated with higher levels of depression, pessimism, and neuroticism. Those who are sensitive to criticism may be more likely to fear negative evaluations and have lower self-esteem."
This issue with toxic people and their effect on health of other people in their vicinity is never explained by CBT.
Instead, CBT blames and pathologizes the target of abuse as if the target is "over-sensitive" or that they may even imagining the abuse.
This way CBT is part of narcissistic abuse, gaslighting and joins into hysteria.
Anyone who's had anxiety attacks after a night of drinking? Those are awful as well. I have muscle twitches, sweats and the feeling like my veins are on fire, a racing heart, feeling like I can't get any air in or that the air just isn't doing the trick, a feeling that my body isn't mine anymore, an out of body sensation, and a sense of impending doom, that this is it. Every single time I get them, I am not in control anymore. I sometimes am mad at myself, because I have had so many, yet I still totally freak out. Anyone else with similar symptoms or sensations?
I feel my throat closing like i cant breath.. And my veins firing.. Body feeling too hot like canot cold itself
can dizziness related to anxiety kill?
I can't remember how many times I went to the er before my diagnosis.
I’m almost about to die after drinking monster energy drink in an empty stomach that feel like my brain doesn’t get enough blood supply or oxygen supply that was like somebody turn off or turn on the switch of my brain that put me in serious trauma now I am always fears that I don’t wanna put myself in the same situation. Now I’m scared of too many people around don’t wanna go to. I got scared even when I go through in ally’s in supermarket.
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video.

Hi Dr. Marks can you make videos about racing thoughts? How is it different from rumination or intrusive thoughts? Can they also cause panic attacks? And how to cope up with them... Thank you doctor
This guy I know said his kid (25) had a panic attack so bad his heart stopped and he had to perform CPR.
I told him "what really happened is he fainted, and you in your infinite wisdom preformed CPR on someone with a still beating heart." 🙄
I only experienced it when I tried a THC edible for anxiety. That was pure dread. I just now stick with hot tea & a face mask at night. I also watch some good videos on RUclips along with meditation.
Go away scammer !
Thank you!
