I have agoraphobia and panic disorder. I’m going to be in a situation where a restroom won’t be available for an hour or so, so there’s no way I can get to a restroom if I need to.

I was wondering if it is actually possible to lose control during a panic attack. Can you lose control? If you feel the need to go to the toilet, can your panic attack make you lose control of your bowels?

Thanks in advance.

Margo asked:


I think I may have had a panic attack the day before yesterday. While in the shower, I became short of breath, felt as if I would pass out, and my heart was pounding. After getting out of the shower, drying, and dressing, I sat for a while (about 20 minutes) until the symptoms went away. Deep breathing helped.

Do you think I may have had a panic attack?

Foosa asked:


Often before going on airplanes, I take my sisters panic attack medicine. I could not tell you exactly what it is called though. I am 14 years old and I do take it with an adults supervision. Although I do ride in airplanes often, I am still quite afraid of them. Do you think it is still okay to use it, or should I not use it before going on planes because I am not prescribed it? I don’t need it for anything else, I don’t get random panic attacks or anything.

I am having ( I think ) panic attacks in school. I have headaches,dizziness and I sometimes shake. My heart races with like every breath I take. I always know when a panic attack is coming because I feel like the room gets brighter and I get really dizzy and my heart races. I haven’t been in school for a week now because I don’t want to pass out. I am not usually the type that misses school.

Also, I have no idea what is triggering these attacks. There is nothing at school that upsets me or could hurt me. I love school. Can anyone help?

How do I know if I am having a panic attack? On May 30 of this year I was at the mall. My first experience is that I feel dizzy. Then I start to feel like I can’t move my body. My body doesn’t feel relaxed. Than make stomach gets upset and I feel sick to my stomach. The spells comes twice a week for 20 to 30 minutes. After 30 minutes than I feel like myself. After I have theses spells I feel really sleepy and feel like I am on edge. I have made and appointment with my doctor for next thursday. Does anybody think that I am having a panic attack? Or does anybody think that I have a medical problem? Is there any medication that I can take for panic attack? Are there any self help groups out there? I live in the south jersey area.
