My husband recently started having panic attacks. It started this past april, I had to take him to the ER- he didn’t know what was going on….. they ran tests, his PCP ran tests- and he is a healthy 33 year old man.
He doc did prescribe xanax, and he has used it sparingly- but has had to use it.
He was out of town this past weekend, until Tuesday, for business as well as pleasure- he and his father were in FL and also saw his grandparents. Apparently he was having elongated and moderate episodes most the time when he was away.
wednesday was his first full day back to work… he felt symptoms, yesterday and all evening he was having issues- he had to take a xanax and pretty much laid down the whole evening.
I just do not know what to do…. I order him a book yesterday with some congnative and other therapy types that he can try to help him better control the feelings as they pop up. But I feel so helpless….. and it worries me.
Both his fathers & mothers side of the family has a history of anxiety and depression- so it’s likely that he his already predisposed to it- but I do not know what else is triggering it, and he seems to not know either.
I worry that it’s something I might or might not be doing
…… I almost wish it was so I could fix it.
And lord knows we shouldn’t have kids now- I have suffered depression- he has anxiety… our poor kids would be nuts!
