Thanks for all the great replys. I am feelinh better this morning. I feel like I woke up from a 3 day sleep. My lower back is stingy but not sure why. I didnt workout yesterday or any heavy liftimg. Wife thinks it stress. I have a plan to go to the gym this morning aftrr I drop of the kids and get the blood flowing. I know that will help.
I do have a small feeling of guilt and am stressing a tad about yesterday but I am trying to let it go and just tell the dr on mon.
Hey man I believe there are different reasons for anxiety attacks. I suffered with it in the past.
Science says that you have so much stress built up that you're not addressing that it creates that fight or flight response and your body kicks into freak out mode but there's nothing to run from or nothing to fight as its all in your head.
Made sense to me but really never solved my issue with anxiety.
In March I was sufferering bad from anxiety. I'd be driving down the road and I'd have to pull over thinking I was going to pass out or hyperventilate. My kid would be saying dads what's wrong? I'd just respond nothing your dad is just going nuts.
I'd go swimming in the pool a few laps in I'd feel like I'm about to drown and start to freak out- anxiety attack.
At the time I thought it might have been a blood sugar problem so I went to the doctors they did a glucose test- came back fine. Hooked me up to an ekg- all was fine. I was like man maybe I just have anxiety.
Later that day a few hours later decided to check out this new church- they had a prayer group at the end. I decided to sit in on it and I swear midway I just felt the presence of God and completely at calm. It was great- like a heavy load lifted off my shoulders. I left that prayer meeting called my family saying I thought the issue was spirtual.
Didn't have any issues for about a week then felt those old feelings of anxiety work up again and I prayed on it and cast it out in the name of Jesus and... Thankfully- haven't had issues since.
Bear in mind this is different anxiety then anxiety you get when you stand up in front of a class to speak or something this was paralyzingly anxiety that would come on spontaneously- not natural similar to what you're kind of describing.
I'm not claiming to know all reasons for anxiety but I would recommend looking at it from a spirtual perspective before you get on any anti depressants. Maybe check to make sure your blood pressure and vitals are all good and look at it from a spirtual perspective.
Believe it or not I believe demons can oppress you and bring on these feelings that can pretty much torment you day and night. The Name of Jesus Christ is powerful and i think it'd be worth looking into.
My family - my mom, brother and sister all suffer from similar stuff. My moms on antidepressants and she's handling it the best I've seen but she went through a lot of tough spots where the drugs actually made it worse. I attribute the fact she's doing better cause she regularly attends church now but that is obviously my opinion.
Not sure what your beliefs are but I recommend you look into it from a spirtual perspective.
