Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Epilepsy / September 2003Anxiety, Panic Attack, or Siezure
Yesterday arms and legs started trembling out of control, my jaw would not stop shaking, I couldn't speak. and my chest/lungs locked up, I stopped breathing went into some sort of seizure and woke up with a black eye and a scrape on my head. Is there any way to test of epilepsy? or seizures? Or is this a panic attack? I don't know the difference between a panic attack and an anxiety attack. I am diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, and anxiety disorder. These "seizures" or what ever really scare me.. especially when I lose control and pass out. Any insight to this matter would be greatly appreciated Thanks John >"TriKster" <pc_circus@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:vmjt6pnumrfif9@corp.supernews.com... >Yesterday arms and legs started trembling out of control, my jaw would not stop shaking, I couldn't speak. and my chest/lungs >locked up, I stopped breathing went into some sort of seizure and woke up with a black eye and a scrape on my head.

Standard tests include CAT, MRI and EEG. Of the three the EEG is probably more telling but is, by no means, foolproof. With the Paranoid Schizophrenia and Anxiety Disorder...I would probably put my money on a panic attack. You should, however, be working with specialists to help sort though this. Best Wishes Jedi and Son Hi Jedi and son, good to see you are still here. Some seizures can start like a panic attack. The fact that John passes out seems like a definite sign he needs to see a specialist. John, it could even be that your panic attacks are misdiagnosed. I was having what appeared to be panic attacks and my neurologist told me that for me, they were a type of seizure. But, then they already knew I had epilepsy. In some cases they would go away, and other times it would move on to another type of seizure. Take care, Julie > >"TriKster" <pc_circus@yahoo.com> wrote in message > news:vmjt6pnumrfif9@corp.supernews.com... [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > > Jedi and Son |
