I had a laproscopy surgery (they found endometriosis) yesterday morning and was given an intravenous general anesthesia. As I came out of it though, I had an anxiety attack. I don’t know what caused it as it was how I woke up and I am wondering if this is a normal reaction. Also I have asthma and have had occasionally wheezing since I have been home. As far as I know I had no tubes down my throat, only the face mask on.

There was another thing as well, this morning I got up and went to the bathroom and changed my dressings without assistance. My legs were a little shaky but I held fast to the wall and was very cautious. All of a sudden I got a wave of nausea, and then a bad case of cold sweats; something I’ve never had before. The cold sweats then morphed into this super-hot feeling like somebody was heating my blood and then I got a hissing, static-like sound. Think of that black and white channel and the static from that. I managed to sit myself on the bathroom floor before I took the header I knew was coming and waited a couple minutes until my brother came inside and rushed and got dad. He ended up carrying me back to my bed where I remained for the better half of today. Does anybody know what could of caused that or what it may have been? I wasn’t moving around much at all. Thank you.

Have been diagnosed with panic attacks and anxiety. Am on Valium (short term) and Prozac.

Many of the symptoms are better ie. cold sweats, palpitations, being unable to go into shops etc. Have had physical conditions ruled out,

But, when I wake up I seem to have had horrible dreams night before and wake to pins and needles in my arms. Any ideas help would be appreciated,

Thank you!

–of every side effect from the meds, even though the time has passed for there to be any…. run on panic attacks now…. and between attacks im having chills and hot flashes, cold sweats and feel like im dying….. wtf do i do?

Can i get the ER to strap me down and force massive ammounts of meds in me to kill the anxiety and the fear? how the hell else can i take any.

Its taken me a month to even take this cause i worry so much about it…

Is it even worth trying to ever take anti-anxiety meds again?
