Grinding or clenching teeth at night is a common cause of morning migraines. Apparently you put 14 times more pressure on the temporal muscles than you do when chewing. If you sometimes wake up with...
Thank you for posting this! Been having a bad day and it's really lifted my mood. I hate it when people act condescending because they think you have a 'nervous disposition'. They have no clue how it...
I've experienced dozing-off panic attacks as well, and they're deeply unpleasant. I find they get worse the more I try to fight it (ie try going to sleep) so I'd distract myself by reading or playing...
J-Lynn, I've also suffered from panic as a direct result of emetophobia since I was 7! (I'm 22 now) I know exactly the kind of hell you're going through...the panic you get at feeling slightly sick....
I'd be slightly wary of taking Xanax permanently since (like any medicine) isn't there the chance you may build up a tolerance? You should be careful about taking an abortive medicine to prevent...
I had a similar experience but I was on the combined birth control pill (which I've since stopped, and seen improvement). OTC medicines aren't that successful at tackling strong migraines...most...
I've also had frequent heart palpitations related to A/P. I grew used to them so I never considered that they might be something serious (I'm 22). My aunt (mid-40s) started experiencing panic...
I'm not sure there's such a thing as 'full recovery' since panic isn't an illness like chicken pox. Anxiety is a natural state of being human and every single person will experience it throughout...
Hi Lindsay! I'm also 22 and have been living with anxiety & panic since I was a young child. I can relate to how it feels to miss out on experiences that everyone expects you to have in your teens...
DShaw, that really sucks! Did they even give you a treatment option for this week? Maybe you should consider going to another clinic for a second opinion or even to A&E. When I went to doctors for my...
Hi DShaw! Is the pain on one or both sides of your head? Headaches can be caused by a huge variety of things...have you thought of getting a second opinion with another doctor? (I'm a 22 year old...
I had very similar symptoms for the past 2 months (one-sided headache that appears 30min-1hour after waking and lingers for the day...not severe but enough to disrupt my daily schedule). Tried...
Beating PD is like those jaggy stock market graphs...even if you go through up and downs you're still making gradual progress upwards. I've had PD since childhood so bizarrely I've never resented or...
I find drinking small sips of water helps with the throat constriction...feeling the water going down reassures you that it's still 'open'. I've had some spectacular panic attacks during flight...
Hi Miow! I have almost exactly the same problem, and I really sympathise with what you're going through!! I'm a uni student and also living in the UK...I was on the combined pill (Microgynon) for two...
