Fluke panic attacks! Normal?

Is it normal with Fibro to just have all of a sudden panic attacks and just want to cry because of anything n nothing at all all at the same time? Just had a bad panic attack with what seems to be no trigger. Is this just one of the many side symptoms of fibro or am I just a freak?

Thank you

HI Christina,

NO, you're not a freak! We just don't handle being overloaded anymore! Too much work, too much stress, just nails us! Be as kind as you can to yourself, try to take it easy and just BREATHE!! Being ill is an adjustment, it's a process, and it is emotional at times! Make your life as simplistic as you can, and don't overload. Learn to say 'when'!

I think we have all gone through this, and if the stress gets to be too much, we continue to!

Hope this helps, sure hope you feel better soon!

Big hugs,

SK

Hi Christina, no your not a freak … Not at all !!! Fibro & anxiet go hand in hand & panic attacts can come on for no obvious reason… That is the frustrated part, fibro is hard enough add a panic attact to that & heck ya … The tears can start !

Be kind to your self, perhaps talk to your dr about this… Sometimes short 5-10 min of mild exercise daily can run off panic attacts, just something I read.
Your not alone in this & definitely not a freak
Hugs &
Blessings
