Is having occasional panic attacks which raise ur bp bad for your health?

Posted by Paula in Questions n Answers on July 26th, 2009

I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks and if I get a bad one, I notice at the ER that my blood pressure shoots through the roof. Nothing TOO high but it can go 130/140s and very close to 150s, and the lower number can go into the 100-110 range.

Is this something I should be highly concerned with?

It normally drops to like 100 over 60 afterwards when I’m sedated, and it never stays at that level, but it can shoot up there in a matter of MINUTES!

Should I be concerned, becuase none of my doctors seem to be at all, whatsoever,

but people on this message board go crazy if you mention anything over 120/80.

I n eed some true advice.

I just saw a cardiologist today and he didn’t seem the slightest bit concerned.

He didn’t do any extensive tests on me since I Had heart palpitations frequently, but im also sick, so maybe during illness its more normal?

He said the palps and the anxiety/panic high bp are nothing to worry about.

Is this true?
I also notice that SOME times my LOWER number seems to be the most dramatically increased, and other times its the HIGHER number.

What could cause the lower one to increase, and what would cause the higher?

Can benadryl be used to stop panic attacks?

Posted by Paula in Questions n Answers on July 22nd, 2009

I have been having panic attacks and I was on xanax but I have ran out and want something that can keep me calm because these panic attacks are really uncomfortable. I have read that benadryl can be a help for anxiety and panic attacks. Has anyone ever taken this for panic attacks? Does benadryl work to stop panic attacks?

anxiety and panic attacks, benadryl, xanax
