Anyone else suffered anxiety/panic attacks since you loss? I had anxiety after my first loss, but this time it has been awful. It started the night after they were born. HR went up, got really short of breath, like this impending doom feeling. The nurse gave me benedryl and later an ativan and it really helped. Since then I have had several. The worst was 9/10. I got so short of breath and dizzy we called the paramedics. By the time they got there I was better. HR was up a little but all other vital signs were normal. I declined to go to the hospital. My first night back to work was Thursday. Had one at work that night. I was able to cover pretty well, but my heart was racing, I was dizzy, had that impending doom feeling again. It last much longer than the rest. I'd say two hours or so. But once I started giving report and kind of forgot about it and I was fine. Then it happend again tonight. Heart racing, jittery feeling, impending doom feeling. In fact I had my husband drive me home tonight because I was afraid to drive. It's just weird. I think part of it is I try so hard not to fall apart at work or at home in front of my husband. I think holding all in is driving me crazy...or literally breaking my heart! I certainly feel like a crazy person!
