Oh i thought its Mike Oxmal

Omg, preach! I had a panic attack literally in front of my dad and sister, and it was so embarrassing and scary. The fact this man handled himself as well as he did on live TV is astounding.

@@laserdisc688 i had one on the way to school infront of everyone i was getting out the car i cant imagine infront of live tv and thousands of people 0.0

I don't know how he did it. I had a panic attack once and I couldn't stop crying.

My first long speech in school, I had a panic attack and the same thing happened. I couldnt get it together.

@@laserdisc688 lol i would need this. Im severly anxious and get panic attacks everytime my parents scream at me, or if something traumatic happens. Once, my brother got out of the house when he was 3, and we were looking everywhere for him. I had a panic attack running from house to house shouting for him. In the end, my dad picked me up, and we went home, thinking to call the police if he doesnt show up in 24 hrs, but my mom said she found him sleeping in our basement in between all the stuffed animals. We had checked our house multiple times btw. I felt relief but was still barely able to breath because of the lump in my throat.

Panic attacks in the night are the worst. During the day, I was able to use some strategies to help coping with it and reduce it’s impact, but when I was waking up with one, there wasn’t much I could do. Those are terrible experiences. My heart goes with you.

Get an air purifier and leave the window open. You went from being outdoors with fresh air to a small indoor space rebreathing your own air.

@angelc6552 I leave it open as much as I can lol. Northern weather sucks this time of the year. You're probably right though since going out and doing literally anything while I'm having one tends to help

⁠@@angelc6552 As someone who suffers from frequent panic attacks I can already tell you that is, with all due respect, a crock of sh*t. You don’t “rebreathe” your own air… simply because you inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide, if you simply inhale carbon dioxide you’re not breathing air and you’ll literally just pass out, and, without oxygen, will die. Panic attacks also, 90% of the time, start with your way of thinking, for me my brain just simply overthinks everything and for whatever reason has to run through every possible scenario of a situation or I won’t stop thinking and worrying about whatever situation it is that I’m thinking about. For instance if I have a job interview tomorrow my mind will start thinking “what if I don’t have an answer to their question? Will they end the interview early? Can they end it early? What if they do end it early, I’d look like such an idiot.. should I just leave if they end it early, should I ask to possibly be reinterviewed? Can I be reinterviewed? That a dumb question ofcourse they won’t reinterview me.. but what if they might and I miss out on the job because I thought they wouldn’t?” and it just keeps going and going and the thoughts keep getting more and more negative and it just snowballs until one of two things happen; I either answer all my own fear based questions until my mind has satisfactory answers, or, I start worrying more, start hyperventilating, sweating, then start worrying about worrying, my chest tightens, my heart races, I get weak, get nauseous, start shaking, start throwing up or dry heaving, and then eventually pass out. But if I take my emergency medication and think of those same thoughts/questions, my mind says “that’s a stupid thing to be worried about” and I’m able to stop worrying about it just as quick as I started. But it doesn’t matter where I’m at, if it’s a big or little room or if it’s inside or outside, it always starts in my mind with my thoughts. The most frustrating part is people who will tell me “just think about something else” which would be the equivalent of someone breaking their leg and being in excruciating pain and I simply say “just don’t focus on the pain, think of something else. Come on, mind over matter!”.. when it just doesn’t work that way and they can’t simply stop focusing on pain that’s so bad their mind can’t think about anything else. Now maybe it’s different for others as mine tend to get pretty extreme especially when it happens from a bad “dream”, air quotes because I never actually seem to dream but instead just reply different memories and experiences that are 9/19 times negative and uncomfortable ones, but most people I talk to who can relate and also have severe panic attacks all have had the same experiences as far as how they started or what caused them. When it’s due to the physical surroundings then even people who don’t normally have actual panic attacks will still experience one. Phobias for example, people afraid of heights who are taken to bungee jump will 90% of the time start to panic and experience identical symptoms when they get to a certain height, same for people with a fear of water who are taken out on a lake, or people who have a fear of blood if they have a severe cut, or even what others feel are ‘irrational fears’ like people afraid of clowns when they go to a circus. So when it’s a physical condition causing it you can usually tell when or what will happen as those conditions come first and lead to the fearful thoughts, but when it’s all in your mind anything could start the process of those negative thoughts that then lead to physical symptoms.

Not from the US but thank you so much for your service❤ Praying that you are healthy, safe and well❤ God bless you✝️🙏❤️

hypocondria is pretty terrifying huh

@@Flexrush understatement

My guess as a layman would be that it gives you understanding. One of the biggest fears with medical problems and I assume hypochondria is not knowing so having someone talk through different scenarios relieves some level of anxiety.

I’m also a hypochondriac. At time this channel helps and sometimes it exasperates my anxiety. All in moderation I guess!

same here.

same. I had a panic attack very similar to Dan Harris when I gave a speech... coincidentally the same year as him: 2004. It not only still haunts me, but I can't ever give speeches anymore.

@polkso Generalized Anxiety Disorder

But you know how it feels. Why would it be good for you to hear there's physical symptoms involved. I can't quite follow

I have panic attacks as well and the medical professionals near me don’t take me seriously at all. I even went to the ER because I was having panic attack symptoms, but I wasn’t having a panic attack, and when I got there I explained to the Dr that it felt like a panic attack, but it wasn’t because there wasn’t any psychological or emotional trigger, only the physical symptoms, and the doc was like “you’re fine. It’s just a panic attack” Like. Bruh. We went over this.

@@captainobvious8037 a lot of people will act like it’s all in your head, when there’s actually physical stuff going on as well. It’s validation. Especially because some people expect you to be at 100% as soon as you are past the attack, and you can’t be because it’s physically exhausting to go through it.

What does it feel like passing out? Does it just like go to black because my sister said its like TV static until its full static and u only can see the static in your head you can't talk can't move open your eyes and you just pop back to existence like 5 minutes later or smth

@@AllmightyGigachad that is a pretty accurate description. My analogy is fruit flies. You see one or two in your vision, then the swarm gets bigger and bigger till you can't see anything. Then I can hear what sounds like a baseball bat hitting a ball and a rushing sound that kind of mimics cheering (that is the sound of my head hitting the ground and the rushing sound is the inner ear adjusting)

I get them too, mostly I believe due to low blood pressure or something, found ingesting some potassium helps a lot, hope you eventually recover from it, annoying when you're trying to do something physical

@@AllmightyGigachad happened to me one time during school, legs went shaky, vision blurred before I fell over and my vision went black, hit my head on the hand dryer thing so prob got a concussion or something

@@AllmightyGigachad I've only fainted once, and it was brought on by stress, exertion, low blood sugar, and some blood loss (the miracle of childbirth y'all) and I didn't *know* I was going to faint but I could tell something was off. The colors around me started to look funny, almost like when a monitor or TV screen is wonky, and I got really cold, and then I started to get tunnel vision and it was hard to string a sentence together. I didn't want to scare anyone since I was holding a literal newborn so I managed to say "Dad needs skin to skin time" and then after I wasn't holding her anymore I was like "Yo, I don't feel so good" and then passed out. Woke up a few seconds later with a hoard of nurses around me.

I'm kind of envious of you! I've developed panic attacks around 16. 12 years later and I'm still convinced I'm dying every time, making a big fuss. I feel like the more I try to "hide" it, the worse it gets. Kinda messed up to be envious of silent panic attacks but I guess I'd rather not everyone know when I have one if that makes sense.

You sounded awful young for panic attacks?

Im 29 and live alone so when i get panic attacks at home their usually so bad and terrifying tht ill walk my way (usually very unsteadily and struggling to take deep breaths) to the corner store so that if i pass out and or actually have a heart attacks at least there will be ppl around to call emergency services. Ive gotten alot better with breathing techniques and distracting my mindover the last 4 years butstill sometimes theyre really bad. P.s. Well wishes to every replier who suffer with panic attacks

Mine were always quiet 🥺

This generation is fuckd, panic attack,anxiety, depression. Poor bastards.

JESUS LOVES YOU ALL

Same almost took me out.

Fun flip in the snow.

@@tiananesbitt7156 lol

Migraines are so bad I’m sorry u dealt with that

my mom had the same thing happen. but she was at weird when it happened

Hemiplegic migraine. I have them often. They actually put us at increased risk of a stroke. Make sure to stay in communication with your neurologist.

​@@katscratchfever3506 My Nana got migraines a lot but she's doing so much better luckily

Sorry to hear that happened to you Happened to me back in December 2012

A friend of mine has one of those. She has really strong migraines, one of the doctors once told her that people called it "suicidal headaches", she suffers a lot when she has then. It is so debilitating.

I get these same exact complex migraines they are horrible! Similar symptoms to a stroke, vision becomes impaired, half my body goes numb and I can’t speak properly when it first starts. Usually takes about an hour for major symptoms to pass and then just left with a bad headache

My husbands sister had a ministroke last year at 37 and they realized she had an undiagnosed heart condition since birth! Shes ok 👌🏻 it was minor but same as your husband it was very confusing to everyone. Im glad hes ok 👍🏻:)

Did they include the Lupus test? 😺

That's so scary! My thirteen year old daughter has a history of severe migraines, but a few months ago, she had a complex migraine that looked like a stroke. I got a call to pick her up from school because she was getting a migraine, and by the time I got there 20 minutes later, her face was numb, one hand was numb, and her speech was completely garbled. Took her straight to the ER at a children's hospital, and they determined it was a complex migraine. They kept her for a few days to get the symptoms under control. It was terrifying.

Same here

I have anxiety especially around hospital and doctor's offices (sadly) and this made feel warm and fuzzy

Is it possible to have a panic attack from drinking too much coffee because the symptoms of a panic attack was exactly what happened to me after drinking a mug of coffee and it was also my first time drinking coffee, this kinda sounds stupid 💀

@@fbiagent3998 it is possible since coffein can trigger anxiety by a faster heartbeat and higher pulse as well! So there might be a big chance to suffer panic attacks from excessive coffee intake

@@x3Lielliax3 That makes sense, I also thought I was gonna die and had to be taken to urgent care, it's kinda embarrassing over coffee 😭😭😭

last year a man got hit by a car crossing the street and me, a 17 year old girl, was the ONLY ONE who did cpr for 15 minutes while 30 people around me just stood and watched. i was so confused why nobody was helping and concerned that no one knew cpr but me. he ended up dying and i believe he might have had a chance if other people helped me with cpr cause i was too exhausted and had to stop.

@@sophiatheisen565 Geeze, I hate the bystander effect! And basic emergency response needs to be more widely taught! Did anyone at least call an ambulance?

EMS pride!

I was raised in a household where medical emergencies were quite common (elderly parents with long histories of chronic issues) and to this day, I still freeze up in these kinds of emergencies. I've found, at least for myself, that it's a lot easier to respond if you're the only one around. If there's a lot of people everyone kind of gets into this mind set of thinking that someone else is going to help. A lot of people think that's Selfishness but it seems to me more like people are afraid to get in the way and do something wrong and make the situation worse. It really does take a lot of training and confidence in your skills and knowledge to be able to shake thar reaction.

@@slimyboixd Interesting, that makes sense. I tend to feel I have to do everything myself, and it's such a relief when a 911 operator says someone already called for the same thing before asking for more details!

FI make entertaining vids as well am

So true

Don’t read my channel namee

Same. He’s incredible

I agree. I love how he doesn't mind repeating the important information (chest compressions, chest compressions, chest compressions). I feel like he'll save lives indirectly because of this repetion. I feel like he's my professor too. He takes great care to give correct medical information. If he speaks incorrectly, it's corrected on the video edit. I wish he was my MD because of this.

So true. When I used to get them, I thought I was definitely going to die every time. And it perpetuates that stress so you're in a near constant state of fear that another one will hit. And each new one makes you think "ok THIS time, I'm definitely going to die". It's so weird and terrifying when you're stuck in that zone. I wish you luck on your panic attack journey

Who asked?

@@krad4668 joe

Ive learned to ride them out and people notice I change a little but nothing more. It is doable, everyone can.

Yeah I had one the other day I drove to the hospital thinking I was having a heart attack and I felt this impending feeling of doom as I approached the hospital so I ran a red light and felt better when I started talking to this beautiful nurse. It was awesome.

Same. I always thought I was just over reacting.

Absolutely same. When I have a panic attacks in a crowded room, I usually go outside and lay down if I can, or sit down in the quietest place until I can get through it. Then I go back in and I'm scared to tell anyone I had a panic attacks because I don't want them to think I'm faking it. I look pretty calm most of the time. When I have a panic attacks at home, I usually lay on my bed. My dog follows me and I hug him and pet him until it passes. Most people understand that panic attacks are a real phenomenon, but not many people realize it doesn't always show.

@@coinwater8511 Exactly!!

its the same for me, ive had them since I was 3, I always feel my panic attacks arent valid as I was told almost all my life that "shes just doing it for attention" "nothings wrong with her shes faking it/making excuses" when it actually feels like your dying...for me at least when I have one its so severe my hears starts racing far too fast...I've said more than once it feels like my heart is going to burst, does not help that I'm hyproventaling, shaking, amonst others

They are completely valid.

Well, technically it IS in your head, but not in the demeaning way the doctor meant it. Doctors can be jerks.

I was thinking the same thing! I’ve struggled with panic attacks for years, and it’s hard for others to know what it’s like. I REALLY appreciate doctor mike explaining it in such a way that shows it’s not our fault.

people downplay panic attacks way too much. and just feeling "anxious" is NOT a panic attack. you'll know for sure if you get one. they are unbearable

Yes as someone who suffers from panic disorder I can tell you I have had episodes so bad I almost fainted if not thanks to my mom helping me. Panic attacks are a serious health condition ( I have to take medication to help with it) and should never be downplayed. If you go to a doctor that does not take it seriously, always look for another opinion.

@@AuskaDezjArdamaath I see what you mean, it may start in your head, but the physical symptons are definitely there tho, and (for me, at least) they're the worst part. I'm almost sure I didn't faint just because I was sitting down, I was dizzy and couldn't breathe, my muscles ached, felt a terrible migraine and numbness on my feet and hands, as soon as it ended I tried to get on my feet and stumbled a bit cause I was still trembling a LOT. I was lucky it was a one time thing, cause I'd def be pissed if a doctor dismissed it cause it's "in my head" like OP said

I had a similar instance with my first and 3rd babies. With my first, I had a subarachnoid hemorrhage during delivery, and with my 3rd I was in the hospital getting fluids for excessive vomiting when my face went weird and I had to page a nurse. I didn’t even know about the first one until I had a brain scan where they found scarring from an old SAH at the same time they saw the fresh one. I can’t say 100000000% certain that the SAH happened during delivery, but the timeline matched, and during delivery I had a bizarre out of body/loss of consciousness experience that I hadn’t experienced since. And yeah. If you want a shortened care time, be pregnant and have bleeding in the brain. You’ll get people from across the hospital running to help, lol I’m very glad your wife finally got appropriate care.

@@CraftyVegan thanks. Glad you got care, too. It seems like “Mother Nature” was not kind to women with that whole pregnancy and delivery thing. On a separate note, it shocks me how some doctors won’t take women and their medical issues seriously. I witnessed this a couple times with my wife, including once when she was in the ER. That time the doctor kept ignoring & dismissing my wife’s questions and comments, but he *immediately* snapped to attention and answered respectfully when I asked or said the *SAME EXACT THING*. We were both pissed about that. Now I make sure to accompany her to difficult appointments when I can. Fortunately her current doctors don’t seem to have that problem.

@@dbackscott I assume those are mainly older doctors who grew up at a time when women weren’t taken seriously in general?

"depressed bc she didnt have a husband" lol wtf

@Scott D Are you a good husband? I ask because I feel like there are more and more bad marriages and not enough are good husbands or wives, or just relationships, at all.

160 and 180 is really high, hope you're doing fine now. the highest my heart rate has been was ~194 but i was a lot younger.

I want recommend you to DR EWI1 on UKposts because I was cure with the herbs

I always have physical symptoms as well when I have them. I hyperventilate and have longer episodes that can last several minutes if I can't steady myself, so I'm more likely to pass out. I've never been been admitted like that, though. I don't think people realize how severe panic attacks can get, especially since sometimes we don't even know what triggered the attack and/or can't escape the environment to calm down. You sound like you're doing better now, though, so that's good. :)

What the Hell did you just casually say 160-190? That’s really high and that’s not good I’m glad you good now but that is not good at all please be careful 🙏

My average BPM on a 30 min run is 184BPM when I’m out for a PB

YES! you nailed it right on the head! Calm voice for those witnessing. Just reassure the individual that they are not alone.

There is people who are getting human trafficked and your acting like your cptsd is so bad

@@Rab1thole i hope you never have to suffer the physical abuse that I have to ensure that I suffer mentally. I dont deny others have problems but its not a pissing contest. Its my truth as much as it is theirs.. Not that I owe you any explanation.

My goodness, you people are so weak and overly sensitive.

@@Rab1thole Dog Frame, you have a LOT to learn about life and perspective. You are not being helpful at all here, I assure you.

Could be conversion disorder? If other test results (for physical causes) are negative Stress can trigger temporary paralysis and other unexplained symptoms in some people

That is scary. Hope your son is better with his anxiety.

have he checked out by a electro-cardiologist!

I use to pass out in school as well, so one day my mom decided to take me to the neurologist to get evaluated, they found nothing wrong with me and saw nothing wrong the structure of my brain and til this day I don’t really know what caused these episodes my guess would be extreme anxiety and ocd

My son has issues with passing out when his anxiety gets too bad. He passed out at school one day and was completely unresponsive for about an hour. He ‘woke up' before the ambulance got to the school but he wasn't there. They did sternal ruvs and needle sticks the entire time and nothing. The weirdest part was everything was comletely normal…BP, heart rate, respiration, bloodwork came back clean and within normal ranges. It was scary

Exactly, when they said she suffered from a rare condition, I was expecting to hear about something that hasn't happened to me in my lifetime! Rare my butt! Context, I've suffered five vasovagal events in my life; three of which while listening to talks about spinal cord injuries, I wonder if that's relevant 🤣; one while on cold/flu meds (pseudoephedrine); and the last while I was having blood drawn for a test and I was an idiot and watched the whole process, needle and all. Fortunately I had enough presence of mind into what was happening each time, that before I lost consciousness I lay down so that the fall wouldn't hurt me. I like my brain, and I don't want to damage it by smacking it into the corner of a desk while passing out.

I’ve had many of these episodes and never know what it is (as I’ve never gone to a doctor about it, but having now googled it everything makes so much sense - I’ve had it when seeing and hearing about gross things, falling off horses, and seeing someone else get their ears pierced 😅 None of them have caused a loss of consciousness though, just the physical act of collapsing, and I’ve had it where my vision will go black and white

I think maybe she has POTS

I didn't get referred to neurology until I started having seizures every other day, if I got sent earlier I might not have the permanent damage to my nerves and muscles from nearly dying to untreated Pernicious Anemia. My Neurologist was the only one who didn't call me a hypochondriac and was very interested in my migraines unlike my PCP, and sat with me for over an hour just listening to my story until that point, and reviewed my medical testing history line by line with me side by side. He was the one who noticed my B12 was low without being flagged by the system (the ref ranges are outrageous) but didn't suspect PA, he suspected I was having seizures and knew something must be there to cause them out of the blue in someone in their late 20s, his other suspect was a rare kind of POTS. BUT sent me to retested just in case, while also having me go through an MRI and the EEG gamut. He sent me straight to oncology hematology when all the further PA tests and antibodies came back positive. He saved my life. Everyone seems to have had positive experiences with Neurology! Thanks for all you do!

I mean they were on a talent TV show Let's be honest some people take every chance to get extra points, he probably tried to make her condition sound more special/unique/dramatic than it actually is to make her look more unique or maybe get some pity points. Such things happen all the time on those shows.

I have a simple brain. What the heck is a vasvoagle sincoppe?

@@NotNochos I am asking the same question. Time to ask Dr. Google.😂 And here’s the answer from the Mayo Clinic “Vasovagal syncope (vay-zoh-VAY-gul SING-kuh-pee) occurs when you faint because your body overreacts to certain triggers, such as the sight of blood or extreme emotional distress. It may also be called neurocardiogenic syncope. The vasovagal syncope trigger causes your heart rate and blood pressure to drop suddenly.”

Or not remembering where you put something, not remembering if you told somebody something, trying to focus and not remembering what you just read or heard or whatever. Yep, been there done that. It's scary when it happens the first time but after you realize what it is it's not as scary but it's still scary. Also if you don't mind I'm going to give you a tip, if you can when you take your medications for your migraine tell someone you're doing it. If there's someone in the house with you either tell them or if you can't speak very well try to write them somehow try to let somebody else know what you're taking and have them note down the time that way they can help you remember what meds you've taken etc.

Mine always seem to start with my own voice sounding weird, I sometimes get pins and needles in one side of my face, words don't make sense, I can't find the right words or get them to come out, it really is quite frightening.

Same here

That happens with most of my migraines. The first few times I was worried I was having a stroke.

It’s been a while since my last one this bad, but I will get migraines where I will forget simple words I use everyday and will either substitute or fumble around for words. I also get numbness that starts at my temple, travels down my jaw and sometimes will spread all the way down to fingers and legs. I will start tripping over my own feet, and if I’m trying to hold something things keep falling from my grasp because I just can’t seem to work out the right grip strength-easy to do when you can barely feel your fingers! I would say the closest description is that feeling when your limb falls asleep but without the pins and needles. I can’t say I’ve ever lost consciousness, but I did come close many times and had to hold onto a wall to keep from falling to the floor. It would be REALLY scary to also not remember, but I personally am acutely aware of what is happening..I just can’t control it. It’s really scary when stuff like this happens, especially when there is a family history of strokes and related cardio conditions. I really should get a new head scan. It’s been about 10 years now.

Honestly watching Dr. Mike as an EMT is SUPER helpful especially for extra knowledge on calls

*course

Oh, of coarse. (sorry, couldn't resist...)

I took an EMT class because I do home care for my grandpa and I watch videos like Dr. Mike's to honestly just kinda keep my "medical mind" from atrophying and I can agree with this. The course was great and I got a lot of hands on experience, especially in the clinicals, but Dr. Mike feels like such a powerful supplemental tool.

Testing testing yo yo

Panic attacks are truly awful, the psychical symptoms can be strong so no wonder. My first panic attack felt like a seizure. I was hurting but I wasn't in pain...it was just really uncomfortable, as if my brain was zapping + I couldn't breathe. I was screaming and twitching so hard my mom first thought I had accidentally electrocuted myself. It came so out of the blue too, I was cooking with my mom and talking with her happily when I suddenly noticed that our dishwasher sounded very loud. Then became the "oh no. Do I exist?" feelings and finally the dread and pain.

My panic attacks and asthma attacks go hand-in-hand and it’s terrifying. I go to the ER every time.

I had the same thing happen. Except one time my ‘panic attack’ never calmed down, my heart rate seemed to be around 260, but not consistent, exactly like I felt every other time it happened. So I went to the ER again, and the EKG showed a textbook atrial fibrillation, and this is exactly how I felt with all of my previous ‘panic attacks’. An ‘as needed’ beta blocker seems to have fixed my ‘panic attacks’.

Same, it's rough. I haven't gotten one in years though. However i got one Mixing Duloxetine with Amphetamine which is big nono. I woke up while sleeping thinking i was absolutely convinced i had a stroke and i started getting several tics And the Catastrophic end of the world panic attack/mild form of psychosis i got from that was delayed 2.5 days when the speed was out of my system. Had over 160 resting Pulse when i ended up in the ER (Sober) as a 25 year old who trains 4-5 times a week. I wanted them to put me under or give me something to calm me down but they refused, i guess they were afraid of counteractions because they couldn't know it was already out of my system. Had to spend an afternoon at a psychward at the hospital so i got a short wheelchair ride because i was so messed up mentally i couldn't really walk for a while (nothing serious though).

Can I ask what the proper medical attention entailed for you??

@@bananawammabama Sure :) For me it was appropriate medication and ongoing counselling with a psychologist.

Yes. Many down-play the true symptoms of panic attacks because they believe, like what Doctor Mike has stated, it all branches from your mind, and is easy to shut down. It's not that simple. From one person who has been a victim of panic attacks to another---pins and needles and paralysis are extremely prominent and further set into the "impending doom" sensation. The best way for me to describe the symptoms I had paired with continuous, anxiety induced panic attacks, is this: the first panic attack I had, I was genuinely under the impression I was dying. It sounds dramatic but my whole body was shutting down into sensations I had never once felt in my life, and it came out of complete and utter nowhere... other than me starting my period which threw me off as is. More, and more panic attacks came after the first, and in the long run it ended up giving me trauma. It can start at any age, any time, anywhere. That's the horrible part about it. I'm glad you've come to share your experience. It's incredibly hard to bare and I'm happy for you that you've managed to hurdle over most, if not all of the horrible symptoms. People will never understand until they experience. You're so brave and I wish more could realize. But, I'm thankful we aren't alone.

@@itsastridonzepeto having one whilst swimming is a very scary experience, glad to hear you’re doing better now :)

@@lennytnovel thank you, friend 😊 I agree with you 100% ☺️

I've had that type of migraine twice and they're so strange! It's like language is just suddenly gone. Like a switch in the brain gets flipped. I couldn't read or even think in proper sentences. Conceptually I knew what I was trying to think but the words just turned to nonsense.

It's not that people don't think panic attacks are real, it's that the language and reactions are completely dismissive. "Only" a panic attack. Get over it. Everyone gets nervous. Things like that.

I've had those types of migraine attacks several times, and they're terrifying. I can usually write short sentences, luckily, so I can let people know that I'm not having a stroke. But I usually check to see if it actually was a stroke, before I do. Because what if one day that's what it is.... 😬😱

I have hemiplegic migraines. I lose the ability to speak and half my body goes numb so…yeah. It’s super scary and looks exactly like a stroke. Risk of stroke with these kinds of migraines is much higher so it’s a good idea to go to the ER every time even though it sucks.

@@kateslate Luckily I haven't had one where half my face wouldn't respond, at the same time as the ones where I can't talk. So I haven't gone to the ER. But if I do, I most definitely will. 😬

Same. But for me it feels like I'm about to die, and that makes me worse. My doctor put my seizures down as vasovagal syncope. Tbh I wish he did more tests. Considering my history of epilepsy and the fact that he didn't even to a Tilt Table Test for syncope. I do also have a fast heart, slight tachycardia arythmia. Still wish that they also did more tests on that one. Had to go to therapy after having so many seizures cause it messed me up mentally. Doing better now. Haven't had a seizure since. My triggers were mainly hunger and a bit of anxiety.

Surprised u never hit ur head 🤕 I hit mine many times 😂 On a bicycle, toilet, radiator, floor, table, tiled wall u name it

@@jessec1620 I’m glad you’re doing better now, hopefully I’ll get sorted soon.

This!! I was having panic attacks for years, was put on anti-depressants and that was the end of it. Still continued to have them, if not more after being on the medication. PCP refused to refer me to a neurologist after giving me the medication so I changed doctors and was able to get an appointment. Ended up having an MRI done and finding out I had basically benign spots on my brain and what I was experiencing was actually seizures along with panic attacks caused by this. Always get checked out, you never know if there could be something deeper causing them!

@@Kulababy11 I’m glad you got the right diagnosis after seeing another doctor, it’s always frustrating when you don’t get the treatment you actually need.

Much good health to your mother, and support to you. Having a family member fall sick is super- stressful.

I hope she’s doing ok

Hope they'll be okay!!!

With both of my strokes, ppl say I looked exactly like this!! Honestly, I really think she either had TIA or stroke and is just saying migraine to the public. I've known other's that don't want ppl knowing something that's that personal about them.

Hey. So I have someone very close to me. actually has the same condition as the woman who wasn't speaking correctly. They have gone to a professional about it. Let me assure you that it is possible for someone to not be able to speak properly and have visual oras without having a stroke. I will say those episodes tend to be rare and triggered. For the person I know there is an additive that triggers them same with one of their children. I'm not trying to invalidate anything here I'm just saying it's possible. Definitely don't take stroke symptoms lightly *especially* if you have migranes like that because you can still get a stoke and because of the migranes just write it off. Hope this helps people .

@@leahknaul2713 Yeah my first thought was stroke, but migraine can do weird things - I have relatives that cannot understand written text when they have migraines, and I get confusion and memory problems during them.

It is BANANAS that basic first aid is not taught in school, imagine all the lives saved if everyone knew chest compression, hymlich maneuver and to never move an injured person. Yall using that Pythagoras theory on the regular? Never?

It could be either a stroke or migraine. The way to tell is that usually a stroke or TIA (transient ischaemic attack, aka "a stroke trying to happen that reverses to normal quickly") is very sudden, with no warning. One moment everything is fine, the next a blood clot has cut off blood supply to a part of the brain, which then receives no oxygen. The migraine however is described as a spreading "wave" of abnormal electrical signals in the brain. Usually there's some warning before something dramatic like this happens. If this news anchor says she had a migraine, it may be that she was trying to power through it and was aware of other symptoms like severe headache or visual aura but was just trying to get the broadcast done before lying down and resting but got caught out. Otherwise, if it literally happened out of the blue, it's more likely to be a stroke or TIA. Of course, I'm not saying that it cannot be a migraine if it happens quickly, but it's much less likely.

Wait is there a physical reason you get panic attacks? Or do you just get unormally scared?

My favorite is when I’m told to just get over it. That really helps a lot, thanks. 🙄

@@dawnwarriorplaysgd148 Panic attacks aren't "getting unusually scared." They are a very real physiological reaction from the dump of adrenaline that starts with a neurotransmitter imbalance that is causing anxiety of some sort. A lot of people that don't realize they are having a panic attack get told that's what's going on by EMTs because they called 911 thinking they are having a heart attack. White a panic attack and a heart attack have pretty different physical manifestations, that's not the thought when your heart is racing and you can't breathe right and there's no logical reason you would otherwise feel this way.

@@michellegaza7740 sorry if this question is dumb, but where does the adrenaline come from?

@@dawnwarriorplaysgd148 It comes from an imbalance of neurotransmitters firing in the brain which causes mental illness. In a regular situation, you would be in an obvious fight or flight mode, but with a panic attack, there's nothing to run away from but you experience all the physical manifestations of fight or flight - which is a horrible experience. Worrying consciously may not even be occurring. In the specific case Dr Mike reviewed, it appeared to me (I'm not a dr, but I did work as a psychiatrist's assistant/mental health case manager for a decade) that the reporter had the same wartime PTSD from his previous work as a field journalist in very difficult situations that soldiers get. His body decided to have a panic attack on air, not because it was a threatening situation, but because panic attacks don't make sense most of the time and he mentioned in the video that when he finally slowed down (like a soldier coming home), his body was still in anything-could-happen-at-anytime-mode. It's a life preservation mode that cannot be shut down just because your life isn't in jeopardy any longer. Hope that helps.

At school I get overheated alot, 1 time I was so Confused, I kept asking my friend where lilo and stitch were

😞😞😞

I nearly passed out from dehydration when I had the brilliant idea of getting my labs done during my clear liquids restricted day in advance of a procedure in summer 2020. There I am in the waiting room of the blood lab at the hospital, and I carefully slump myself to the floor (passing out in a chair is dangerous…), and pulled off my mask. They spotted me fairly quickly and I sucked down an entire bottle of water so quick.

Absolutely, I collapsed bad when I was active duty. It's no joke

yikes. I worked at a warehouse for about 6 months in 2020 and it was winter but I remember everybody talking all the time about summer- how it got insanely hot and you needed to be careful. the bathrooms had all these posters too about dehydration and what to watch out for. the place I worked at had a union so they were constantly talking about safety but I heard so many horror stories about other warehouses, namely Amazon. Really just Amazon. (My one major takeaway from that job was never work for Amazon.) Don't know if that's where you worked or whether they discussed dehydration with the employees or not beforehand.

I hear you. I had my panic attack 2 years ago. That was the worst moment of my life by far. I remember wishing I would just die. Stay strong, be healthy, and I pray it doesn't happen to you, me, or anyone again.

What are panic attacks like? Personally I've only had manic episodes and existencial crisises... How bad are they on a scale of 1 to 10? Not bringing up any bad memories just curious

I have a phobia of throwing up. Had panic attacks almost every night. I now have OCD, anxiety disorder, social anxiety, and yes, my phobia. it’s been a couple of years of that, but I’m doing better now.

Yep, it's scary. Mine usually take a little while to escalate, so I know what's going on before it gets to the worst, but it sucks. I really love being with my friends and doing things (I'm an introvert, but I'm inside the house by myself most of the time, so I rarely get to do things) nearly every time I get a panic attack and ruin it. I was in a show last month, and everything went great until the last night. I started feeling shaky and nervous before, but I thought it was just nerves. As soon as I got on stage it started, which was terrible because I had to keep acting. I had to leave the stage at the end of the song, but thankfully I didn't faint. The entirety of intermission was the worst. I feel bad because 3 of my friends were worrying about me and I think it took away from their enjoyment.

I hear you. Last year of September was my peak of getting panic attacks ever since I dabbed THC (basically Weed Juice THC Cartridges). Soon after, I began having frequent panic attacks that happened out of nowhere. I began to feel scared for the rest of September and October, panicking over breathing, panicking about heart, usually topics about my body. Panic attacks are really terrifying - it's like the feeling of falling from a chair but it lasts hours. Your heart races fast, thinking you're having a heart attack or near-death, wanting to call the ambulance, can't breathe properly, going to pass out, all the traumatic experiences that our mind that gives us the illusions of death because of high blood circulation to the brain. I was diagnosed with a Panic Disorder later on, but I wanted to fight it. It took me a while until I don't have panic attacks no more. Panic attacks are always an emotional response. Like me, I always thought of something wrong in my body, even though that something is a normal thing that could trigger me a panic response. Panic attacks are easy to let go and relieve. I always believed that me myself is gonna be alright and everything's okay. Sometimes you have to make scary things into a positive, laugh it off a little. Be confident. Since then, I accept death, even though I'm quite young. Everyone dies eventually.

If anybody wants no know, that show is "Wetten, dass..?" and the guys name is Samuel Koch.

i remember that so well :/

Yeah I remember that too pretty vividly, I watched that live. Everyone back then watched Wetten dass before Gottschalk retired but sometimes people really overestimated their abilities or sometimes you cannot Single out accidents happening which happened there that time. I really hope people could be more careful with stunts!

@@badbats8697 OMG! I looked it up, I thought he would be hit by the car, but it was a bad landing. That was so hard to watch

I watched the show back then...

I faint at certain places. Crowded places where it feels hot and "lack of air" and I also recognise symptoms (sweating, blurring and bubbling stomach just like when you are about to throw up)and it's resolved by going out in fresh air or more open space (again more air). Twice I haven't got out in time, which lead to hit the floor face first and throwing up. I was on queuing to movies with then bf (now husband) and you entered there thru hallway...which was crowded. Feel symptoms and just say "need to go back...need to to back" and he looks at me like wtf and I just go "need to go back or you'll need to scrape me off the floor" and he grabbed my arm and took me back to ticket booth that was in more spacious area. Felt better and just waited that everyone else had gone in and walked to our seats. I explained everything to him and he was just "okay got it" Most embarrassing was at rock concert (indoors, crowded, standing) and felt symptoms, managed to txt friend I need air, brb. Turned and took few steps and hit the floor. I couldn't see well and voices were muffed. Someone tried to help me up, first aid rushed to me (yay for fainting near first aid) and all I could feel was cold air coming from one direction and started crawl towards it while first aid dude was trying to hold me still. Got closer to fresh air, curled up next to trash throwing up and first aid guy talking to me in language I do not speak (I was abroad) I really hope your bf understands you are not faking, you cannot control it and know also what will help if you say about symptoms or he sees you.. not okay.

I have it as well and it's truly scary. My first major incident was at the gym and I was luckily using a machine. Had I been benching, squating, etc. I could have seriously put my life at risk. To this day I'm too scared to lift free weights. I was benching earlier that day and I squirm thinking I could have fainted and dropped 200+ lbs directly on my neck.

The signs for me is that my hearing and vision starts tunneling off and then it goes white or black. I've only fully fainted twice because I'm good at sensing the signs and sitting down now.

@@TheGytrash yeah. I’ve had it since 2nd grade and it effects me often. I’m glad you’ve only passed out twice. I’ve lucky never passed out because I’d immediately sit down so I don’t pass out. I’ve had some really close calls tho.

Our son started having seizures out of know where when he was 16. With each one they kept getting worse and worse developing into grand mals. Neurologist ran every test they could think of and were stumped at what was possibly causing them. They wanted to put him on anti epileptic medication but we were hesitant for two reasons. 1 - he’s autistic and cannot explain to us what kind of side effects he’s internally feeling and there are some serious potential side effects. 2 - there are different medications for different onsets of seizures and without being able to diagnose his, medication could actually make things worse. We chose not to put him on the medication and thank god we made that decision. I cannot remember why but we made an appointment with a cardiologist. We explained what was going on and as we’re telling her all the details into where and when the seizures were happening she said, I know what’s causing them and it’s an easy fix. My wife and I looked at each other and said, what? We noticed his seizures always happened in the bathroom, then I noticed it was always after he peed. She said he had developed Vasovagal Syncope. So when he pees his blood pressure drops so fast causing his seizures. She said all he has to do is sit down while he pees which will prevent the rapid drop in blood pressure and he’ll be ok. He has not had a seizure in 3 years. So happy we didn’t put him on those meds. You never go against a mothers gut feeling. Hope this helps someone.

Same, it's rough. I haven't gotten one in years though. However i got one Mixing Duloxetine with Amphetamine which is big nono. I woke up while sleeping thinking i was absolutely convinced i had a stroke and i started getting several tics And the Catastrophic end of the world panic attack/mild form of psychosis i got from that was delayed 2.5 days when the speed was out of my system. Had over 160 resting Pulse when i ended up in the ER (Sober) as a 25 year old who trains 4-5 times a week. I wanted them to put me under or give me something to calm me down but they refused, i guess they were afraid of counteractions because they couldn't know it was already out of my system. Had to spend an afternoon at a psychward at the hospital got a wheelchair ride because i was so messed up mentally i couldn't really walk for a while (nothing serious though).

It's true! All humans have the mechanism for panic built into their brains. It's a very primal part of the brain. Just some people's mechanism gets triggered more easily than others. And it's NEVER your fault for having one! It's a natural reaction as old as time. Just we don't use that part of our brain as much because we aren't running from danger or fighting predators as much as we were in the cave people times. I used to hate panic attacks, I dreaded them so much, and they ruined my life for several years. But now I'm no longer afraid because I learned to be deeply grateful for them. Panic is a necessary part of you designed to protect you. It's truly a miraculous feat of natural engineering. But now that I don't fear panic attacks anymore, they've stopped. But it was such a long journey for me. And everyone's journey is different. I wish you well on yours!

@@BlinkinFirefly thank you so much

My complex migraine starts in my arm. It has a major drift, and I am unable to use it. I now have a complete every kind of migraine and all the auras.

@@colleenbattensabala1128 mine starts in my legs. I call them floppy droopy migraines because I'll flop or drop

I get migraines that leave me with all the symtopms from the last part of the second paragraph. They're not complex migraines as they don't start anywhere I assume, but they're really really strong and affect my mood and behaviour greatly. It's exactly like you described. Apparently it's because I have a deviated septum and I'll have to get surgery in order to fix it.

Wow. Your symptoms sound exactly like what my daughter goes through. She has Danlos Ehlers also. Believe it runs on my side of the family. She gets dizzy standing up. Low blood pressure. So odd.

Healthy people like me never got this symptoms like me for example

Yes, I once had a panic attack so bad my hands turned into claws and I couldn't extend my fingers. I could barely move or breathe. It was incredibly scary...

@@nerfworthy218 this happens to me when I have a panic attack, arms hands and fingers all turn inward , it's horrible, I can't breathe and I'm sure I'm going to die

I too suffer various types of migraine. I usually get migraines with aura, but also get vestibular and have had hemispheric. They don't fully understand migraines but there are some treatments. The part I need help with is the speaking weirdly, calling things by the wrong words, and forgetting what things are called. Asked my sister what a thing was, she was baffled but told me it was a table.
