Hi Everyone, (This is long-Its my story and my cure, I hope it helps)
I was wondering if anyone of you have had a Dr. figure out what was going on? Or has a Dr told anyone about Adreanal Glands? How about Adreanal Fatigue? I recommend all of you reseaching this.
I am 29yrs Old. Last Nov. the night before Thanksgiving, I was having a dream I was choking on some bottles. I woke up, sitting straight up in the air Gasping for air, it felt like 50pounds was sitting on my chest, my entire body shot hot to cold in a matter of seconds, then tingles. I have a 3 and 5yr old. My son was in bed with me do to being sick, my husband at the time was out with his buddy's. I ran my blood pressure, it was high. I called my husband to get home ASAP. Him and a Friend walked in. I sat in our rocker trimbling. He said I was fine and to calm down (he's an ex-EMT) we went back to bed. I layed there in fear I was dying. I was bad for a week. It took me a good month to month and a half to get over what had happend and start feeling myself again. My Dr. office was closed Thurs.-Mon. but I called my Dr. Sat. and let him think about what was happening and to get his advice. after my pulse rate was at a steady120bpm laying down all day. My sister who is a Dr. said she had never seen anything like what was happening to me. She told me to take Benadril and that actually worked when it kicked it. I was horrified to take anything though. I still wasnt getting better, and my mom suffers from Aniexty so I tried a Zanix that finally knocked me out. By the time Monday rolled around I was better but not myself. The Dr looked at me and said there is something wrong. I can see it in your face. I was very pale. I told him I took a zanix and it worked so he gave me more. He told me to see an Endro. it took me from Nov-to Jan to get in with the Endro. Got in. nothing was wrong, they said my blood pressure was a little high. I had drank Sweet Tea and felt like I had just ran a marathon-I was full of adrinaline. After that I was fine, Until Feb. I had spent the night at my grandmothers for a few days. I started to get an anxious feeling. I didnt have my zanix with me. I called my mom who lived up the street and she brought me one. It was like I could feel it creeping up on me. I went to bed I was fine, I decided to hold off taking the zanix cause i was fine. Big Mistake. I snowballed 3days later I was in the ER. Woke up gasping for air, numb tingles in body, my forhead is numb, my throat numb, half my face numb, I know Im breathing but I feel as Im not at all. Heart Papltations, Dizzeness, Lightheaded, and UNCONTROLLABLE Shaking. My family would say are you cold? I would be laying on the floor. No I just cant stop moving. The ER said I was fine, shot me up with some Adivan, and called it a day. They did do a chest xray and blood. my blood level came back with a marker for clots somewhat high, but they said that doesnt mean anything. So they did the chest xray and my lungs were clear. I started seeing a Chiropractor after another episode, and getting weekly massages that helpped A TON! To get me back to normal QUICKLY!
(READ THIS PART IF YOU HAVE SKIPPED SOME) So about a month ago I had another attack. I told my husband who at this point is very pissy about the whole ordeal I told him I had to leave. I felt like I needed to run, I was coming out of my skin, I drove straight to my dr and said look at me. I was crying, I said I can feel it coming on. THIS CAN NOT HAPPEN. I honestly cannot live my life like this, I feel as if Im dying. He looked straight at me and said your having a panic attack, your not gonna die, you are ok. I have known you many years and I know what type of person you are. You do have something wrong with you, but your not dying. He said there is something causing this. I believe its homons. Lets try some Zoloft, it should even you out and with in a few months you'll probably be able to get off it and be back to good. I took the Zoloft. first week half doze after that a full. I got to the full and I had another attack, only it was so bad I woke up in the middle of the night, gasping for air, numb tingles, everything like above, only I thought I was going to poop and puke at the same time. I thought oh S! Im never gonna recover. Called my Dr. he said to big of doze maybe. Just go back to the halfs. I thought oh hell no I am not taking that stuff again, and didnt. I ended up with my mom that next day where we did some research on the net and came across Adrineal Glands and Adrineal Fatigue. They are above your liver and produce and handle abunch of stuff. Stress, Hormons (men and women), Your hole flight and fight response system. I took this test and it said yes your using adrenal glands to much. If that happens you can have panic and anxiety attacks, and it maskes the underlying problem which is your adrenal glands can not produce enough for your body. You can fix it with vitamines!!!!
We got in the car drove to the sunflower shop (organic store) talked to the ladys in there told them everything I had gone through and they loaded me up with all sorts of stuff. I have had NO PROBLEM- until I stopped taking them, and went back to my normal life style started having a beer here and there and cokes. (I had quit drinking anything with Caffine or Alochol for MONTHS!) Tonight I had another attack. - I have since left my husband, and Im dealing with being a stay at home mom trying to figure out how Im gonna make it. So I have some stress there. But tonight I woke up not breathing gasping for air. I typically days before have noticed that I get really excited about things, like Im having the best day ever, then I start having nightmares, then the Black OUT dark dream and wake gasping for air. I do EFT - Which Helps BUNCHES! youtube.com and search EFT panic attacks. It helps when your in the middle of one to calm you down. I have kind of learned how to deal with it but going back to sleep is still very scary after you have one. I will be going back to pick up some vitamins and trying it out all over again tomorrow.
I hope this helps some, and thanks for reading my story. I had a friend commit suicide over this cause he couldnt handle it anymore. I just would like to tell everyone that no matter how bad it gets, theres always tomorrow. And no matter what, there are people out here like me that will keep digging to find a cure, or reason. Don't give up, and dont give up hope. There are people in your life that love you, and even though they may not understand how you feel. There is a whole group of people out here that do! I am one of them! Just tell yourself your okay. Look up the EFT panic and try them out, even if you think its a bunch of BS when your doing it. Just try it, what do you have to loose? And what could it hurt? Nothing but calm you down for a moment. I keep doing them until over and over I go through video after video until I feel somewhat calmer. I even do this before taking a zanix so I get in a good state of mind. Good Luck and Positive Thinking!

Hey sorry its a bit late but ive just read your story and it really caught my eye,
im alex male 23 from UK, and i have exactly the same problem, this is GAD (general anxiety disorder)
its doomed my life completely and recked all my relationships, stopped me from doing things i like
which is football, sight seeing, holidays and travelling etc!
my symptoms can be so BAD including really short of breath, head aches, bloatiness, heart palpitations, tight chest, chest pains, lots of fear, mood swings, feeling unreal, no hope, think im going to die and so on, but the symptoms are soreal, but you must understand none this is harmful!
for me it got so bad at times i couldnt leave the house and not going to work.
so after trying much medication nothing worked, so i googled everything and i found the cure, a genius called Charles Linden, he has cured 99% of 260.000 people with exactly same problem as us.
***edited by moderator*** web addresses not allowed i hope this will help you.
what i can tell you is the reason we have this is because there is a small part in our brain called the Amygdilla, and that acts like a gage, which includes the fight or flight response, look at the Amygdilla as 1-10 people without GAD will be set on 3 and if somethink bad happens will go to red alert 9 for example, watching a scarey film may go to 6 or 7, out Amydilla is set on 7 or 8 always, which is why we always panic and have these horrible symptoms, are subconcious is all wrong, so we need to set this Amygdilla back to normal, and only panic when necissary! Charles teaches you how to do that! he had it like us but worse! if you would like to talk more about this i am very happy to, would love to help each other, many thanks alex xx

Hey,
I found your post looking for something totally unrelated and wanted to put something out there. I went through the exact same symptoms and was diagnosed with panic disorder. However, the waking up at night shaking, heart racing 180 bpm, tingling and throwing up continued. I had a doctor ask me to get an apnea test. Went in and I was stopping breathing 16 times an hour. When you stop breathing for long enough your heart starts racing and causes these symptoms when your body finally screams at you WAKE UP! Long term apnea can cause stress on the heart, that is how I found out I had it. It may be worth checking into if you haven't been tested as it seems to happen to you at night.

What you are describing is a low magnesium cellular level. I know, I just went through it. Guess what drains magnesium levels? Stress (it's a catch 22 since low levels lead to stress), alcohol, caffeine, sugar, carbs ect.
Calcium makes muscles tense and not relaxed. As time goes on it can lead to brain issues, anxiety, panic attacks ect.
The great news is it's reversible with a daily dose of magnesium and some time. How much? There are many website that say at least 700mg depending on your size and some website even go as high as 1.2Grams. Since magnesium is a laxative, you can get this much via transdermal via magnesium oil on the skin or in a bath.
You will find you will sleep better, stop the breathing issues and anxiety melts away. 90 percent of the population is low on mag. You are NOT alone.
I hope you still check this forum board still.
Good health!!

I too have experienced symptoms very similar to these. i was diagnosed with MDD a few years back. I was put on antidepressants and antipsychotics which made matters worse. I gained a significant amount of weight and was also diagnosed with sleep apnea(using a cpap machine sucks because I'm claustraphobic). I've had a lot of stressful events in my life. I remember having my first panic attack several years ago. I woke up feeling as though something was in my chest and throat,my heart was racing,basically the classic symptoms. I went to the ER only to have the doctor sarcastically tell me"there's nothing wrong with you,you're fine". I actually remember feeling worse while on the meds,I was sleepy all the time during the day,had no energy. The past few years the panic/anxiety attacks seem to have gotten worse. I can remember several times in the past 2-3 years waking in the middle of the night gasping in a state of panic and fear. It's way worse when you doze off and wake right back up a few seconds later out of fear of it happening again. There have been several nights where this happened and it was pure torture.It's gotten so bad till I couldnt tell if I was hot or cold,I felt disconnected from reality,even the feeling that you want to come out of your skin and be released from your body. I've also experienced the suicidal thoughts,thoughts of cutting myself(never actually done it),but the thoughs are so strong that i can actually feel the cutting. It's just like you said,you start to"feel it coming on". You know it's gonna happen and you start to panic. I too have experienced that "fight or flight" sensation for no apparent reason. It's as if my adrenaline glands are pumping full blast. There have been several times it was all I could do to keep from going to the ER. It's like you want to live but you feel like your only chance to be at peace is to die. Some nights when I get ready for bed I start to wonder"will I experience it again tonight". The thought alone puts you in state of panic. Often times it's as if my mind won't shut down to go to sleep. It's kinda like a recording in my head that's stuck on a loop and won't stop. I'm constantly replaying thoughts or converstaions or a favorite song that I heard during the day. What makes maters worse is if you have a spouse that's insensitive to what you're experiencing. I've had some success taking sleepy time tea and CALM which is a powder form of magnesium. I refuse to give up though. I have four young children to help raise so I need to be around for them. I hope this helps somebody. If you or anyone else has any suggestions please feel free to forward them.

I had this similar experience when I was between 12-14 years old. Whenever I woke up, I find myself crying. It was a recurring dream. Finally it never came back when I completed the dream and just didn't wake up. I confronted the dream itself. But 30 years after, I woke up from a nightmare. But it was not as bad. Then I remember what happened in my puberty and wondered what happened. I had some problems with my blood pressure but with proper exercises and supplements, I am able to keep it at the right level. I was thinking that as a child, my blood pressure could have been elevated that I experienced anxiety, numbness, headaches, etc. It was about 10 years ago when I was diagnosed to have an elevated blood pressure which was causing me headaches. But after following my doctor's advice, all the symptoms were gone. I still have nightmares but without the symptoms that I used to experience. I took up Dream Analysis in class and this was able to help me confront into myself and deal with some unresolved issues.
