What if you have a panic attck that lasts several days? Is it considered a panic attack?
My friend has been experiencing attck.But symptoms of a panic that has been going on for several days. Hes our heart always pounding and she gets very angry, and it does all knowledge do.Im why not even sure what the problem is but it sounds like a panic attck, but panic attcks usually last 10 minutes, not hours every day.
This is a very interesting question, since I had my first panic attack in my work as a medical transcriptionist / triage nurse, etc for three cardiac surgeons. I was typing away, this being 1985, in Charleston, South Carolina and had my first panic attack – the most horrible thing I've been through, trust me. I felt like I was dying and was concerned only with my children and who would take care of them in the future. Well, I was given Xanax slowly through one of the medical and lay down on the sofa in his office. He had to give me a dose of Xanax once in a while to finally get me out of the attack. But I finally did and went home with my boyfriend, who my doctor had called from our office. A few days later, while doing rounds in the hospital next to admittance and such, I suddenly became weak and could not breathe. Luckily my other doctor in the office was there talking to a nurse and saw me. He made me sit and breathe through a paper bag Brown, thinking I was hyperventilating. It did not work, of course. So in a wheelchair to the emergency room and found me there and started the Xanax (u another sedative of the same class) IV and had to keep pushing a lot. Why? Because my blood gases were gone and my electrolytes suddenly left my body, mainly potassium almost entirely. I had to keep giving me the Xanax and see my blood gases and potassium, etc. Finally, all my blood tests had returned to normal, including potassium. I had my boyfriend take me home, again normal after only an hour or so, and I look at night. Anyway, happened once and I was hospitalized for five days or so. Nothing was presented. Honest! So put on Xanax for these occasions in the future and has been a miracle cure for me. Sometimes I take a Xanax for a month, but when I have a panic attack, it will take about 20 milligrams to combat it. If I would not be much in the midst of an attack, just wipe me mentally for a good time! But when using it as intended, it will be so happy to have him on hand for just those times. I have come back in here to tell you that my two doctors and me during panic attacks, told me I had to give so much Xanax to make me "normal" were very afraid for me. But having said all he did was get me back to my normal state. And I can really say the same, I was not drugged at all and I felt completely normal. Were very surprised I have not had "high" or "crazy" but not all! Anyway, that's my experience with panic attacks. I can believe that each we could have a different kind of panic attack, but if you take the Xanax and not become "high," then it is nuts! But without having a panic attack will only make you stranger, tall and if you like this then you are not using it for a panic attack. And a doctor will know for sure! So do not abuse a drug that is a miracle worker for us with panic attacks who really need it, okay?!
