What's wrong with me and how can I get help?!


Question:

What's wrong with me and how can I get help?

Here's the deal: I felt fine when I first got up, but I was standing at my front door talking to my friend, when I started to feel sick. My heart started to beat harder and faster and my head started to hurt really bad. It felt like my ears were closing up and I could barely hear my friend talk. It felt like the world was spinning rapidly and everything was turning into a white blur. I was shaking like mad and every passing second it got worse. I told my friend I would talk to her later and went to lay down. I was very dizzy and could barely see, and it was like it was in a dream sequence. I regained my vision and I could hear again a few minutes after laying down. I was still dizzy but my heartbeat had slowed down and I could focus clearly on things again. My mom said it sounded like I was going to blackout, since she had experienced it before. If that's the case what's the cause is it part of something serious, and can I seek medical treatment? By the way I am under 18 if that helps.

Answers:

It could've been a panic attack or an anxiety attack. As a fellow sufferer, I can tell you that "Klonopin" is a miracle drug. You have to tell your doctor everything (if this happens again. These attacks are very common in young women for some reason. I'm talking 17-30.) If you tell your doctor everything, he'll know the right med for you.
