@the.joy.edit: I’m sharing the scariest health spiral I’ve ever experienced—panic attacks, body breakdowns, and what finally helped me feel human again. If this helps even one woman feel less alone, it’s worth it. Drop a 🖤 if you’ve been through something like this. Let’s talk about it #realtalk #Perimenopause #anxiety #panicattcks #lexapro
What I don't understand is; peri menopause has been around forever and yes it has its effects on women. Why is it that our generation has such severe symptoms from perimenopause? Why are the symptoms so progressed? It's scary what I'm going through and Im so tired and feel defeated.

I don’t think these things are natural I think these symptoms have increased 10x in the last 5-10 years and seems like everyone has POTS or anxiety or severe panic attacks, feeling out of body, like their dying but fine at same time.. I think something else is happening. Maybe externally in our environment

Life changing panic attack June 12, 2022, 5:32 pm. Changed my life. 2 years of hell….. all the symptoms. And then some. Heart rate so high I lost 32 pounds (not the worst….lol). Scared to leave the house because I didn’t trust my body. I am so so so sorry to all of us going through this. So sorry.

Not once in entire life had I known what anxiety is. I started this year having anxiety thankfully I'm on HRT now & it helps a ton. Because Drs just wanted to put me on antidepressants and I did use them for a bit but I weaned myself off of them due to other reasons

adrenaline dumps are the worst feeling ever. Thought I was having a legit stroke. I have dealt with them since my first COVID infection.

Nocturnal panic attacks are panic attacks that wake you up with a pounding or fast heartbeat. It’s panic attacks during your sleep and they wake you up.

I have POTS and MCAS and have struggled for years. But I hit 42 and HOLY 💩 Constant crippling anxiety, sudden spikes in hr/bp, back to back to back panic attacks, waking up every single night feeling like I’m dying. I have no idea how I will survive this.

You explained my situation to a T. I went to the ER twice, once by ambulance. I thought I was having a heart attack or a stroke. Was diagnosed with dehydration. Every time it happened, I thought I was dehydrated. In 9 months I went from normal hormone levels to post menopausal. I had an ablation so I did not have obvious periods. I’m at the point now where I cannot drive or go into stores because those are my triggers. I’ve started HRT and SSRIs. The bad high, exactly how I explained it. Out of my body. Thank you for sharing. No one ever told me this could happen and I actually thought I was having mental health issues.

This made me cry because no one has ever explained it so perfectly. The words I could never find.

I have had very similar experiences. I literally thought I was going crazy. I feel like I’m almost to the other side.

This is how my perimenopausal spiral started; random anxiety attacks, driving anxiety, nocturnal panic attacks... My Dr was not forthcoming in investigating if this is perimenopause, I am 47. What a scary ride that was! 🥺

This sounds like adrenaline dumping from POTs. Most doctors miss this. Not to say hormones don't play the part, but adrenaline dumping can give you the panic attacks

Crazy! I had all the same symptoms back in January!!! So scary! Panic attacks, dizziness, feeling weird, heart rate rising! Went to the ER they told me I was fine. Went to the doc and they put me on Lexapro and it’s a life saver!!!! You are not alone!

Amanda :
This sounds like what’s been happening to me. I started having anxiety and panic attacks after going to bed. Doing nothing but laying down with my eyes closed I’ll start feeling so anxious while I’m trying to fall asleep and my heart will be beating so fast. So fast that I think I’m having a heart attack. I’m always tired now bc I can’t fall asleep well.

I have an anxiety disorder. I’ve had anxiety my whole life but different symptoms. My nervous system cannot withstand a lot of stress. But as I entered my 30’s after having kids symptoms would worsen but still come and go.

Yep! That “weird feeling” for me is a cool wave starting from my head and goes down to my toes. SO much testing and no answers 😫
