:$ okay, i'm am extremely shy, i haven't told many people about this, and i am terrified about it. Two days ago i had to go the ER due to a sever panic attack. However, since the doctors took FOREVER (1 hour) to get to me, the symptoms had resided into nothingness. For the past 8 days i've been experiencing panic attacks, normally at night around 2:00. in a more recent panic attack i got worried enough to constantly feel imending doom and death, hyperventalating off the block, having such stiff limbs (normally hands) that i can't move them, irregular heartbeat that would drag race from normall 75 beats a min to 150+. And the extreme heartbeat would normally be closed by the heart skipping a couple beats (when i say a couple, i mean 4-5). Whenever that happens my body atomatically reacts and forces me to gasp for and and go into shock like symptoms. I'm only 14 and i'm worried that this is more than just GAD, maybe something serious. Also i'd like some advice as to what i should do whenever in the middle of a panic attack. Taking deep breaths doesn't seem to be enough.
what's your email? i want to send you some information about panic attacks that we read in my Abnormal Psychology class. It should be helpful to you.

getfunky79,
GAD is different from a panic attack. I don't have materials for that.
But I agree that pills are not always the best solution because what are you gonna do -- take them for the rest of your life? not very pleasant, right? Why don't you start a new topic and see what people have to say about it? Maybe you can get some help here.
