HELP.... I recently had a panic attack 2 weeks ago I thought I was dying.....?

the ER gave me Xanex, which helped until now. I saw my doctor the next day and she gave me a script for Zoloft which made me SICK, headaches, diarrhea , chest pains. I gave it four days and I stopped taking the Zoloft, thinking this might be the side affects to the meds, or not the right meds for me. Lately I've been having problems sleeping, I can't fall asleep like I use too. Some nights I feel bad stomach pains, and hurtful chest pains and even problems near my trachea. My question is, how can I get a better sleep to stop the uncomfortable pain in my body? I want to be normal again. My sister is on Zolft so I thought It might work for me also. The Xanex doesn't do anything for me anymore, it use to put me right to sleep, I need help sleeping!

Are you under a lot of stress right now? Sometimes that sets off panic attacks. I used to have panic attacks but overcame them without medication. Try getting exercise during the day, long walks in the woods worked for me. A lot of times, fresh air will make you sleep well at night. Try playing music if it relaxes you, I used tapes of rain or the ocean. I also used fragrance, I think it was lavender that helped with sleep.
