the last 3 days

[Anastasia513]

for the last 4 days i have been having nonstop panic attacks, and they are getting worse. I don't really know whats causing them. My sister whom i'm living with now, took me to the er where they prscribed me for zantac, or "happy pills" but its like im imune to happy becaue they arent working and im still having bad bouts of attacks.

Well zantac is for heartburn so could be why they are not working. Did you mean xanax maybe?

Anxiety attacks are so hard to figure out as they can just happen out of the blue and no notice and makes us more fearful and incur more anxiety because we then become afraid of the darn attacks happening. Are you going through a lot of stress in your life? Is something going on that you are unsettled with? Do you have any other issues that you try to manage daily? When working through anxiety or panic attacks it's first and foremost really important you tell yourself right away, okay it's another stupid panic attack, breath slow deep breaths, or I use a brown paper bag if they get bad and I'm all tingly and hyperventilating, tingles are from hyper ventilating, breath in the bag slowly, it will bring your CO2 down. Next you have to begin looking at the stress in your life, also try and figure out if you see a pattern of what's going on around you when they attack. Like me I know standing in grocery lines is a huge trigger so I prepare myself and keep telling myself I'm going to be okay I'm going to be okay. When I was able to recognize what triggers most of them I was able and able to manage mine. But every now and then those rolling panic attacks what you are experiencing have not reason to me that I can find. So hang in there, look for the patterns that could be causing them.
