All of a Sudden, I have been having pin and needle feelings in my head and body, i feel cold inside, my musles tighten, which is uncontrolable, my chest sometimes is heavy feeling and i feel shortness of breathe or it could just be from the discomfort of everything else. When i first went to the hospital cause it was making me feel like i was going crazy they tried to say it was a Panic/Aniety Attack than they put me on Ativan and sent me on my way. It would than come right back and again this horrible feeling was there in my body. I went back to the hospital ER 2 more times and again they said the same thing, that i was having a Panic/Anxiety Attack. So i continued to take my medicine that they gave me and hoped it would stay gone, but it didn't. It would come and go and it was awful. I ended up going to a different Hospital and they said My Potassium was low, 3.3 and i have to be on Potassium Pills. Does this sound right? I just want to be back to my normal, fum, exciting self. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. Thanks so much.
I have read that meds for panic attacks and anxiety can actually make you feel worse at first. It takes a while for your brain to become used to the medicine, but once you are used to it, it works as advertised. It sucks it doesn't work right away, but it is what it is.
