Yes, my plate is overflowing :(<br /> @brady80: I've ask my Dr and he told me they weren't occuring enough to warrant medication.<br /> @Pointshoestutus: Thank you so much for that info, I will be looking into it. These started when I was still pregnant, I had her in August but they've continued.<br /> The last time I passed out I was doing the dishes, last night it happened immediately after i put the fire out and opened a window. Good luck at your appointment, I hope you get some answers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-keep-having-panic-attacks#post-1175752 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 07:06:09 +0000 brady80 1175752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry you're dealing with this. Maybe talk to your pcp about a referral to a therapist? Panic attacks can be managed and cured with therapy and/or medication </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-keep-having-panic-attacks#post-1175689 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 01:10:34 +0000 PointeShoesTutus 1175689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Look into POTS (postural othrostatic tachycardia syndrome). What you're going through sounds a lot like what is going on with me at the moment, except I'm not pregnant. In my research on POTS, I found it can be brought on by pregnancy. </p> <p>Do you have fainting issues and/dizziness upon standing when you're not pregnant? What were you doing right before you passed out the recent time? </p> <p>I've struggled with panic attacks before and they resurfaced again recently but something about them seemed different. I went to several doctors and their best guess is POTS. It can only be confirmed by a cardiologist so I'm waiting my appointment. </p> <p>I found <a href="http://www.dinet.org" rel="nofollow">http://www.dinet.org</a> to be very informative about it. I hope you get some relief soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-keep-having-panic-attacks#post-1175684 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 00:50:25 +0000 autumnlove 1175684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hugs!

Well baby girl is now 2.5 months old, big sister is 2, and big brother is 11. I've had at least 2 a week since they started, I've blacked out twice, mostly I just have shortness of breath, heaviness on my chest, and everything goes fuzzy. Tonight was especially stressful ( 2 yo's food on the floor, baby hysterics, entire kitchen contents on the floor thanks to said 2 yo, she pooped her pants, then my 11 yo caught a roll of paper towels on fire because I left a burner on), I cleaned the poop, put out the fire and collapsed. I couldn't stop shaking, couldn't move or talk, I stayed conscious and could hear everything but I couldn't talk or move. He called my parents and my Mom came over and helped. I still feel weird and now have a headache. This whole 2 under 2 thing is no joke. </p>
