Funny. My dad had a defective heart valve.....was repaired (not replaced, but repaired....a much less invasive and preferred procedure) by a surgeon at the U of MN. My sister's mother in law just had a quadruple bypass. My massage gal was diagnosed with breast cancer, had a double mastectomy, and has already had her plastic surgery (looks terrific and they are pretty sure they got all the cancer).
Every disease is emotion based.
Even heart disease?
There is no doubt many doctors are quick to write a prescription and send you on your way. But if that happens to you, get another doctor. They aren't all like that.
There is a reason they call it "practicing" medicine. No one knows all the answers.
And I_Need_Detox, everyone's chemistry is different. My gal takes paxil and it works great for her. Didn't work for me. My sister is on a combo. of Welbutrin and Lexapro and she says she feels absolutely terrific. One of my sisters takes something in the winter for seasonal affective disorder, but is fine in the summer.
It IS a bit of a guessing game, but if you don't try, you're never going to see any improvement.
FYI, I went to a mental health professional when I was having problems and she basically laughed at me. She said, "therapy isn't going to help you.....I don't see any sign that you have issues that can be cured through any sort of therapy. You have a chemistry issue IMO."
Think about it. My mom takes medication because she doesn't have a thyroid. How is that any different? It just so happens her deficiency is related to metabolism.....some are related to brain functioning. Why is that so taboo?

yes if the cause of the anxiety can't be removed, as Van says seek professional help, not the opinions on here
IMO - You've already taken the first step. I disagree slightly with BMA. Coming to a forum like this could very well be the first step in getting the help you need. Finding out in the relative anonymity of the internet just how common your situation is might help you realize just what others have already said... There's nothing wrong with you and whatever stigmas that used to be associated with anxiety have long passed. The first thing you need to realize is that it's a VERY common problem and you're NOT alone.
I don't think you should seek the advice of others on here other than to realize that a doctor is who you need to speak with. Let him diagnose you with a fear, disorder or bad (eating) habits.
I started getting anxiety attacks in OCT of '01 just after 9/11. I travel frequently for work and never had a problem on a plane or in a car for long periods of time. All of a sudden out of nowhere it started on a plane trip - like you said, I thought I was going to have a heart attack - the pressure inside my chest, the sweaty palms combined with the feeling of being trapped and completely out of control started my heart racing even more, it's a F'n nightmare that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. Shortly afterwards it happened during a long van ride - after the second time I saw a Dr. because I vowed NEVER to go through that experience EVER again - and since I started seeing a Dr. I'm always prepared in case it happens again. Ironically enough, I realized in my case that just having a Xanax in my pocket without even having to take it is enough to calm me down.
Good Luck

I used to get anxiety pretty bad, gambling was a big part of it.
I'd say these are the best natural solutions:
-Stop gambling
-Dont do drugs--coke, ecstacy, pot (lots of people say weed relaxes them but technically speaking it raises your heartrate)
-Exercise
And my personal favorite that saved me many times in public when I thought I was about to have a heart attack, the breathing technique!
Take half your breath through your mouth, then complete the 2nd half of the breath through your nose. Exhale through your mouth. Do this 10 times in a row and I guarantee you relax a little. This was taught to me by a doctor away from the office, said it phsyiologically forces your wind pipe to relax and open more. When people get anxiety attacks their breath tends to get very short without them realizing it and their windpipe tightens. This is why in the old days people would grab the paper bag and start breathing into it, because it forced them to take full breaths.
Personally would never be a fan of requiring a pill to function, but if you cant solve it yourself you have to do something. Exercise man, this is so huge in the battle with anxiety.

There are so many things that could be causing it. Before you get STRUNG OUT on anti depressants by some quack go to a psychologist and discuss whats going on. Medicine should be a LAST resort. GL

I'm 25 and have had bad anxiety for the last few years. Doctors started me out on welbutrin and celexa and both of them did nothing for me. I guess you don't really notice any changes until you take them for a while, but i threw in the towel. One of them made me an insomniac and I was up for like 6 straight days giving this thing a chance. I thought I was going to have a seizure towards the end of it and tweeked out and stopped taking it. I had bad acid reflux at the time which can be brought on by stress/bad diet/overweight and the acid reflux really is what started my fight with anxiety. The first time I had heartburn I thought i was having a heart attack. I had no clue what was going on. Same thing when all the acid came up my throat the first time. I tweeked out and had a panic attack leading to tachycardia and a trip to the ER. I thought I was going to die. It didn't help that I was blazed out of my mind when this happened either.
Ever since the acid reflux/heart burn I knew I needed to make a lot of changes. I started eating better, working out more, drinking less. I lost like 40 lbs in a 18 months and the reflux got much better. Nexium and other drugs didn't do much for me and actually made me a gain a ton of weight. I finally stopped taking those antacids and switched to xanax and klonopin as needed. Both are amazing drugs, but very addicting. A lot of us gamblers have addictive personalities so I would be careful with benzos like these. They have worked great for me and I rarely have acid reflux anymore and no panic attacks in a while. However, they are extremely addicting and you build up a tolerance to them quite fast. A little over a year ago I was taking .5 mg xanax and it was doing the trick. I now have to take 3 mg to feel the same effect and my tolerance will keep going up which is scary. I am going to try and get off of xanax while its still somewhat doable without too much withdrawal issues and switch to something less addictive like lexapro.
I think I'll always want to have a scrip to xanax just for emergencies tho where i control when i take them very strictly like if im having a panic attack, someone close to me dies, or i have to go on an airplane. Like a few others said before me....planes give me a lot of anxiety eventhough im not scared of flying at all. The altitude and pressure always seems to give me acid reflux and i don't like being confined to my seat for hours on end bored. A big dose of xanax that zonks me out for the whole flight will always be something i'd want to have when traveling. Its nice to have one close incase a serious tony soprano like panic attack sets in. It is extremely fast acting unlike most of the others.
I'd ask your doc about the less addictive types like lexapro that you could take daily and maybe for a tiny scrip containing a few xanax if you get serious panic attacks bc of how fast acting it is. Start eating better, gambling less, working out more, setting goals for yourself, keeping in touch with friends/family more often, read more books, etc. Definitely go see a dr. but start making some life style changes that in the long run could lessen the anxiety on its own maybe.

one last thing.....be very careful if you do get prescribed some type of anti anxiety med when it comes to boozing or doing other drugs like cocaine. I know a bunch of kids who would take a xanax and drink a few beers bc it got them fucked up quick. Same thing with pain killers. Mixing them with booze will get you really fucked up and in some cases can lead to death. Everyones body reacts to drugs and mixing them differently. I'd have more faith in a big dude being able to get away with this stupidity than a skinny dude who weighs like 150 lbs though. When i drink i make sure I have waited long enough since my last pill before i start boozing. Some of the drugs stay in your system longer also like klonopin. You could have taken that pill the day before and it could still get you a lot drunker so be careful. I enjoy taking a xanax when I'm very hung over, but i always wait until my body has processed the alcohol before taking it. Not a crutch you want to rely on when fighting hangovers tho lately ive been drinking much less.
I also saw on that intervention show last night an episode about ppl addicted to pills. One 22 year old died from mixing xanax and cocaine. Bottom line is be careful with what you put in your body and mixing drugs. Talk to your doctor about this kind of stuff if you are a big drinker or do other drugs.
last bit of advice.....maybe get an eighth of shrooms and a buddy to babysit you and go out into the woods away from everybody or to a secluded lake. Trip balls and analyze your life and what you want to change. I haven't tripped lately but everytime i do I have like a spiritual awakening where I actually become a better person after it and make changes. Of course with each trip came a very intense part where i thought i was dying, but thats why you need a babysitter who can set you straight and make sure you don't do anything silly.

Don't go to a doctor. They are legalized drug dealers. Taking a prescription is like covering a bullet wound w/ a band-aid. Every disease is emotion based. Buy a book by Louise Hay called " You can heal yourself." You can get to the root of the problem by digging deeper into what's causing the physical manifestation. It cured my Ulcerative Colitis, and also by staying away from gluten. Good luck bud..
cured your ulcerative colitis?
you must of been real minor.

It cured my Ulcerative Colitis, and also by staying away from gluten. Good luck bud..

Docs are good, i wont dispute that. But giving you alternative ways other than meds or surgery..not so much. I got off the meds and started to eat right for my blood type. Miracle or just unknown knowledge not applied by mainstream docs?

learn to meditate....works wonders.....will feel like a completely different person....20-30 minutes a day....sit up straight in a chair, close your eyes, and focus on your breathing...there's a vid on you tube....how to meditate....
This also helps tremendously. However most Americans are unable to focus 20 mins on just one thing..

stay away from stress. eat non bad. find your happy place mentally each day. and its amazing how healthy u can be.

Lexapro is expensive, I switched to Paroxetine. It's cheaper and does about the same thing.
For those against medications. Granted, it sucks needing these compounds but when your ready to jump out of your skin, there's a problem. A defect in the brain needs to be treated.
Just don't take any more than you need. I cut my pills into 1/3 rds.

Im not against medication but for some people seeking a alternative w/ out side effects there is always an option. Im not the tree hugger type, but there is hidden cures not known to mainstream that will treat every issue. Just have to take ownership of yourself and not rely on someone who is treating u like just another number.

Every disease is emotion based.
