RSS FeedsWhat are some side effects to panic attacks?
Ive been having panic attacks recently (or what i think are panic attacks) and i have been feeling worn out.. and i keep getting bad headaches.. or migranes rather.. is this to be expected?
I have been to the doctor and have had a full blood panel and everything came back normal..although i am about to schedule another appointment. I am worried a bit because ill get headaches (or migranes which im concerned they are) and they make my eyes agitated.. and it does make them sensitive to light and such.
Certainly! It varies between people, though. It can be difficult to find information about it, but if you talk to a psychiatrist or a mental health care worker, you’ll find out that it’s more common than you thought.
I myself have a Panic Disorder, where I have frequent panic attacks, sometimes even over nothing. My side effects include a lack of control over my muscles, loss of strength, uncontrollable emotions and mood swings, and sometimes even severe stuttering if it’s bad. I am left extremely exhausted and ready to fall asleep. Sometimes, I have some of these side effects for hours or even all day!
I’ve been seeing a mental health care worker twice a month, and I’ve been getting a prescription for Zoloft from my psychiatrist. If you’re having these frequent panic attacks, it would be best to see someone about it. Sometimes, panic attacks are a result of a medication, or perhaps you’ve developed a panic disorder with a change in your physical or emotional life. Maybe, there was a recent loss in your family or friends. Maybe, you moved or got a new job. New members of the family…getting married…going to college…all these big things can set of panic disorder, which may or may not last. I have always had this thing as long as I can remember, but you most likely are experiencing something of a temporary condition.
The best advice I can give you is to keep going with the tests but for sure see a psychiatrist or something. Get some immediate help by at least going to someone in the mental health care area of expertise. That way, if he thinks it’s serious, he can get you in to see a psychiatrist quicker (especially if you get the help of a doctor). All these things will help. Believe me. I should know.
Just know that what you’re going through is actually quite common! Lots of people get panic attacks sometime during their lives, and quite a few people have gone through a period of having panic disorder. So long as you don’t let it control your life, you’ll be able to get through your life just like normal!
I hope you get the help you need soon!

Panic attacks cause increased breathing, chest pain, feeling of doom, headaches, body aches, stress, rapid heart beat. Not a very good feeling and a headache can come along afterwards. Please seek medical attention and be evaluated to verify that it is just panic attacks and not something medical going on like your heart or your thryroid. God Bless
