All of a sudden I'm shaking and I feel nervous. I had my usual cup of coffee this morning. Nothing different. So why do I feel like this? And of course I'm thinking there's something horribly wrong which makes me even more nervous. I popped a xanax about 5 minutes ago but it's not helping. I'm freaking out and I'm at work. I hate anxiety and the attacks it's brings. At least I guess it's an anxiety attack. It came out of nowhere. I need to get a grip and I can't.

Hi special. Anxiety can come out of nowhere and for no reason, even though you've seemingly had nothing occur to provoke it. First, please try to calm yourself by taking some slow deep breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth. You WILL be ok. Give your med the time to get into your system and work. Just breath and try to occupy your thoughts elsewhere. Concentrating on it can really make it feel worse. Feel better.

Happened to me before, it was low low blood sugar. Idk how your feeling now, but that could have been it.

Hi

Sorry to hear you are having an anxiety attack they really are the pits.

Anxiety can come out of nowhere so it's important to address the anxiety so it does not have such an impact on your life.

I use Mindfulness Meditation daily which does help so maybe this is something you could look into.

Thanks. The slow breathing helped. It is so scary when it comes out of the blue. Even though you've had them before they still unnerve you. Or at least they do that to me. Thanks again for your help and suggestions.

Hi Special years ago a low blood sugar attack could make me feel the same, sometimes as good as coffee
is it can knock the glucose out of your blood stream, then the shakes start, Peace
