Posted by admin on September 24th, 2008 and filed under anxiety and panic attacks | 9 Comments »

I have been experiencing anxiety attacks or panic attacks a lot lately. and i do not know what they are caused by. i am lucky that i am surrounded by people who know how to handle my attacks, but i feel incredibly self concious and embarrased after one. i am under 18 and i have not told my parents and they are not around much to help anyways…any advice? Also my parents don't know how to handle things like these. Any suggestions about them either?

My girlfriend has panic attacks. Shes been diagnosed with Post Tramautic Stress Disorder and the disorder causes those attacks.
That may be your case but Im no doctor. Do some reading on PTSD and anxiety attacks. You should seek professional help definately just so you know exactly what is going on with you.
As far as your parents…you do need to tell them. They will need to make an appointment for you to see a doctor and the doctor will be able to explain to them what they will need to do to help you.

Can hypothyroidism increase your chances of having anxiety/panic attacks?

Posted by admin on September 24th, 2008 and filed under anxiety and panic attacks | 1 Comment »

I was just wondering if anybody experienced anxiety attacks while under hypothyroidism and if it was normal to have. I have been on the medicine for about 4 years and just now started experiencing them. Should I stop taking my medication and see a doctor or is it normal to have? Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!

YES!!!!!! Man i prayed mine was the reason for my attacks, but no such luck…or atleast they havent told me anything about it yet. Medicine for hypothyroidism? NO dont just stop taking it, go talk to your doctor about everthing, you may need a different dosage that;s all.
