I started having panic attacks last January!. I actually thought it was caused by high blood pressure!. When I first had an attack I thought I was having a stroke!. I called 9-11 and had all kinds of cops and EMTs show up to help me!. It was embarrassing!. Had to go to the ER!.
Anyway, after the ER and before I went to a doctor, I was still convinced that High BP was the cause!. I actually found that drinking Concord grape juice would stave off an attack!.
I insisted the doctor give me a prescription for generic Elavil!. It's cheap and has few side effects other than dry mouth and drowsiness!. No panic attacks since I started taking that!.
I take an occasional Xanax, about a half or a quarter per week!. But I doubt that is even really necessary!. Helps me go to sleep faster though!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
