I was watching t.v. Sunday night and my heart started going a mile a minute. I managed to calm myself down but it happened again and then again. It wasn’t like a my normal panic attacks. I got so freaked out my parents called an ambulance. They immediately diagnosed it as a panic attack but took me to the E.R. anyway because my heart rate was really high. I had the standard tests run — CT scan (for blood clots?), EKG, ECG, urinalysis, etc. They gave me Ativan to calm me down and kept me on a vitals monitor. They said everything was fine and let me go after a couple of hours with a Rx for Ativan and Ibuprofen for my chest pain. It’s two days later and my anxiety is worse than it’s ever been and 1 MG of Ativan is not helping at all. Usually benzos calm me right down.
Has anyone else had an experience like this?

Worst Panic Attack Of My Life Happened Sunday — And Ativan Is Not Working?
Wednesday, November 4th, 2009Is Working Out 4 Times A Week Enough To Lose Weight?
Monday, October 26th, 2009I really don’t have much time for more than that. I work out hard on the elliptical for an hour, four times a week and keep track of my heart rate with a Polar monitor. I also watch my calories. So far, my progress has been depressingly slow, but I figure, the slower it comes off, the longer it will stay off. Can I expect to lose weight (I’m shooting for 25-30 lbs) over 6 months by following this plan?
