Q: I have told by numerous doctors for the last 30 years that I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks. I am a 56 yr old male that had a total right knee replacement in 2008. My question is; I was hurt on a parachute jump while in the army in 1976, and hurt my knee to a point to have surgery. Can a bad accident like I had bring on the attacks since I’ve had them since 1977?
A: Anxiety can be a symptom of post-traumatic stress disorder. You did not supply any details about your parachute jump but it may be related. I suggest you discuss the accident with your doctor.

The link about post-tramatic stress does not work. I would also like to know what he is currently taking for his panic attacks and how the attacks are affecting his BP.
I have had panic attacks, and I can tell you it gets old. I have searched and searched for answers.
Now I have found some excellent advice, whcih i do not get from my Dr.

Please let me know what this Lithim is. I am very curious. I HAVE AN INNNER ear migraine that effects the nervous system. i look forward to your information.
I have panic attacks, too. My blood pressure is normal when I am not having a panic attack, but when I have one my BP goes up very high. The doc put me on BP meds, so when I feel normal my BP is 106/63 with pulse of 56 and I feel very tired.
I find that taking a natural supplement called Rhodiola helps me a great deal. You can find it at health food stores for around ten bucks.
Having panic attacks is a nightmare. So I feel for anyone who experiences them. It is hell. I hope you can find some kind of relief without having to take drugs. I think therapy with a therapist that specializes in anxiety is the best way to go.
I had an attack of claustrophobia many years ago, and the recurring attacks. This came out of the blue for me, as I never was claustrophobic. I decided to seek the advice of a psychologist and after many talks she suggested that it may have come from a very traumatic experience I had about 10 years earlier. She gave me breathing and learning to cope exercises to do. It took a long time until they really worked, but now I do not have any problems anymore. Claustrophobia has gone. I now can sit through an opera, go to the movies, stand in a queue without any problems.
Suggest you talk to your doctor and also my seek psychological advice.
