My boyfriend and I have been together for a little over a year, but have been friends for about 2 years. So, I know him very well. He has always been a very “emotionally healthy” person. People always turn to him for advice, and for opinions because he is so smart and put together and has a trusted outlook on things. Recently he has been acting a little off, which confuses the mess out of me! He tells me that he has been getting this overwhelming anxiety that causes chest pains, racing heart beats, to the point where something just takes over and he doesn’t know what’s going on. Personally, I think he’s being a little bit of a hypochondriac (and this is ONLY because it’s like he’s trying to find some reason to go to the doctor, to me). I have A.D.D. and keeping my life and work organized is a huge struggle for me, so a few months ago I decided to try taking adderall, prescribed by my doctor. It’s like ever since then, he’s been trying to come up with something, and I really don’t understand why. He is 29 years old, has a great job, great family, good morals, does NO drugs/alcohol, awesome musician, and is my best friend. I believe that everybody has some anxiety, and I’m not trying to be insensitive towards his feelings either. But, like I’ve said he is so put together, and this is kind of like him showing weakness. He’s looked up his “symptoms” and has come up with Panic Disorder. How do you go from being completely sain (and that coming from him on numerous occasions) to having panic disorder? I DON’T think anything is wrong with him, but he’s practically obsessing over panic disorder now, and it is starting to come in between us. I don’t want him going and getting on Xanex or something like that which will zone him out, change his personality, or him possibly becoming an addict. I don’t know what the deal is but if anybody can relate, please help me out! Me and him have such a close relationship and tell each other everything, but this is making him a little cooky… and nobody would ever use that word to describe him! He’s maybe playing into the “symptoms” a little much. I’m so in love with him, but all of this is really not the “him” that I know. I don’t know where this is coming from. I really need some advice on what is going on. What should I do? Is there really actually something wrong? Is this more of an insecurity or what? I have told him how I feel about it, and that I don’t understand why now? How can you be so honestly secure about yourself, thoughts, and actions, to flipping a switch practically overnight, and then you have “panic disorder.”

I think I have both.. I know for sure I have panic attacks. I also have all the symptoms of anxiety. Should I make an appointment to get this treated? When I went to the er for chest pains the doc told me it was panic attacks and gave me the paper stating the problem and everything when I left and it said to make a follow up appoinment and I haven’t yet. Should this be treated and should I get checked for anxiety disorder? I’m not going to list all the symptoms lol but i know for sure i have every single one. Please help I’m sick of feeling worried ALL the dang time.
moxx- I was just wondering if there was something more of like what i could do at home instead of running to the doctor to get me some pills to pop down my throat every 4 hours of the day to keep me in shroomy land lol. I don’t like any types of pills unless it is tylenol. No muscle relaxers, nerve calmers, whatever they are if they make you feel even alittle funny I DO not like them. I take them and then start feeling the whoopy calming feeling and I have a panic attack..(even though these are for that, Im sure my body will somehow find a way to go in “freak out mode”.. so i was more wondering if this stuff has been cured from like just therapy or anything besides popping pills. Thanks though just wanted to clear that up lol! Thanks to all answers.

I’ve been having panic attacks for about a year now. I also usually have like a lump in my throat feeling and nausea. I saw a doctor a few months ago and she prescribed me some Lorazepam. The med did not work very well, and I still have panic attacks.
I have panic attacks because I start thinking of getting them or getting nauseous. So in a way, I have developed a fear; I’m pretty sure I must have Panic Disorder.
