Hey everyone!
(I posted this under the introduction board then realized I probably should have put it here since it's in regards to symptoms. Sorry about that!)
I am new to the boards and was wondering if someone could help me out. I'm 17, a freshman in college, and have a couple questions about panic attacks.
I've had panick attacks for the past two years. I am pretty sure that's what they are but have never gone (don't want to) to a doctor so don't really don't know. When they happen, I usually feel like I can't breath, my chest aches, or my throat is closing. I get them 2-3 times a week and seriously they're a real pain to deal with.
Could you tell me if these sound like panick attacks to you? If not, any idea what they could be? Also, anything I can do to stop them?
I am not intereted in meds. My uncle is bipolar and I hate what the lithium does to him. No meds for me =)
I really appreciate all your help, thanks in advance!
