I am 25. In 2008 I had an episode of rapid heartbeat. I was taken to the ER who found nothing wrong on my EKG. I had another episode of rapid heartbeat January of 2009, and also found out I was pregnant. My symptoms were pushed off as pregnancy related. I gave birth in October and was doing fine then last week I had a rapid heart rate again with a headache and dizziness. I’ve been very concerned over my heart rate I check it several times a day obsessively afraid it will get fast again. It happened last night and tonight upon waking up. I’ve cut out all caffeine, and even msg. It is the most frightening feeling in the world and when it happens I have to throw wet rags around my neck, I flush, and sit in a cold area like outside. I get so afraid I hold the phone ready to call 911. Last week I did but the emt said my hr was 120-130 steady, oxygen fine, bp slightly elevated he believed it to be a panic disorder and said I didn’t need the hospital and they left. I am terrified though of this being a real issue. Advice on where to go next or experiences are needed please.
Panic Disorder affects billions worldwide. Anxiety and panic attacks take their toll on the lives of everyone they touch, making it difficult to perform the simplest of life’s tasks. Do you think you have this disorder? Find out below with our symptom checker:
The trademark symptom of panic disorder is chronic panic attacks. A panic attack is a sudden and intense feeling of terror, fear, or apprehension without a danger present. Most panic attacks occur suddenly and the symptoms peak within ten minutes of the onset and then subside. Although, it is not uncommon for symptoms last longer and the attacks could even occur one right after the other.
Generally, if you experience a panic attack more than once a month, you might have panic disorder. Another symptom of panic disorder is the constant, debilitating fear that something bad is going to happen and that is cannot be escaped or that another panic attack will occur. This fear is so real and intense that it prevents the sufferer from participating in regular everyday activities.
Agoraphobia is a panic disorder in which the sufferer becomes anxious and fears having a panic attack in an uncomfortable setting in which there is no means of easy or non embarrassing escape. Therefore, many people who suffer from agoraphobia find that it can affect their lives in extremely negative ways.
i know this sounds crazy but i may have panic disorder. a couple months ago i was driving and i started to feel lightheaded so i pulled over and my friend started to drive. that was fine until it came back and i started to have a panic attack because i thought something was seriously wrong. after having numerous tests done i found out i am healthy as a horse. but i am still worried i am going to have an attack like that. my hypochondria keeps me thinking something is bad. so today i was driving again and i felt weird and my heart started to race and i began to worry. even now i feel freaked out that i will never be the same again. i just want to know if i cant die or go crazy, and if not how can i get better. please any help is greatly appreciated.
with this is it normal to feel kinda out of it/absentminded/detached?
because for after the car incident i thought it was a tumor, but ive talked to many people who are of great knowledge in the medical field and they are certain its not, and i thought the absentmindedness is from a tumor. i hope not!

I have been diagnosed with social anxiety disorder (or social phobia.) It has gotten in the way of my life a little to much. I am a college student in my early 20s, so there is constant pressure of interacting with many people. Also, I am in charge of 31 people at my job. I am constantly being made fun of where I work, for my anxiety issues, (though they are not aware of my condition.) Is there any treatment other than Cognitive-behavioral therapy? Something that I can just do on my own?
