PA and anxiety trouble :(
hi everyone, i am 19 and was just recently diagnosed with anxiety. i had my first ever panic attack 5 weeks ago and i was alone in my dorm when it happened. ever since then i have had bad anxiety everyday and at least 1 panic attack a day, usually at night. mainly because im scared of having another panic attack. i have had to leave college and go back home to live with my parents for support. i thought that college was the reason for me having anxiety and panic attacks but i am still having them at home. although they have reduced to about 2-3 times a week. some days are better than others.
lately i just can’t shake my anxiety and fear. i start feeling chest pain and tightness in my heart and then my left lower arm and fingers start to hurt and tingle. i am scared because it really does feel like im going to have a heart attack sometimes. i am wondering if this is normal and if this happens to anyone else ? i have been on buspirone for 3 weeks but i haven’t really found it to be effective yet.
