Guest guest Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Hi Lynn Memom Wow, I'm so sorry about your daughters experience. Is there anyway she can get a new job or what about going to personnel and filing a harassment complaint because that is exactly what that guy is doing. He needs to realize that he is the problem and not your daughter. The shacking and difficulty breathing does sound alot like an anxiety attack. The following symptoms of panic attacks and/or anxiety are from just one web-site. Panic attacks and/or anxiety may include Electric current thru body Breathing difficulties Excessive perspiration Rush of energy thru body Hyperventilation Sweating hands Tingling feeling thru body Tightening of the throat Giddiness / Light-headedness Hot prickly feeling thru body Choking sensation Frequent need to urinate Intense heat thru body Diarrhoea Wave of energy thru body Chest pain Sleeping difficulties Ice cold moving thru body Headaches Night sweats 'Ants crawling' sensation Neck pain Unexplained rashes Lower back pain Weakness in left arm Depersonalisation /Derealisation: Aching jaw Feeling detached from body Muscle pain Lack of concentration As if looking through a mist Sciatica Extreme exhaustion As if you are not real Loss of feelings and/or libido As if surroundings not real Nausea and/or vomiting Short term memory loss Stationary objects appear to move Churning / burning stomach Sensitivity to light / sound Indigestion Fear of dying Dizziness Fear of having a heart attack Pins and needles Fear of going insane Hot and/or cold flashes Fear of losing control Racing / Pounding heart Shaking Fear of embarrassment Missed' heart beats Trembling Fear of making a fool of self Take Care Babs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Lynn, That sounds like a panit attack to me. I shake uncontrolably when I have an attack and I cant focus and things get fuzzy and my chest is tight. She might just have situational anxiety, such as tests, being in public, parties, etc. Have her talk to her Dr. They can prescribe a very small dose for her to take, before she goes and does these events that will help calm her, I hope she gets to feeling better, it is so hard to deal with if it is ALL the time. If that is the case she may need to be on a dose to prevent it from happening. I take klonopins, .5 3 x's a day. This helps keep me calm and doesnt make me sleepy like xanax and ativan will. My experience with buspar was it made me nauseaus at first. Just some information for you. She needs to talk to the dr to be sure what she is feeling is anxiety or hypertension.

She has to go to Delaware which is an hour from here, no big deal. Laurie has a controlled seizure condition. Actually she has only taken four seizures since her birth. When she gets upset she starts to shake, happens all the time. Yesterday her awful manager was just plain nasty. She had ask for " Friday off because there was a test she had to take. The test is pass or fail no in between. She never, never takes off and has plenty of time built up. He wouldn't give her off. A few weeks ago when she had her wisdow teeth out, he said to her " can't eat maybe you will loss weight " . She really doesn't need to loss weight, he is just nasty. Anyway they were doing a pre-test and she started to shake at school. New twist on this is she said everything got fuzzy with her eyes and her chest felt tight and she couldn't breathe. She told them that she shakes whenever she gets nervous but they said no. They took her to the deans office, they were helping her calm down. They called me, I told them that the shaking is something that happens and that she is on seizure medicine. They wouldn't let her drive home. I called the doctor and he said " Lynn this is not a seizure and it is highly unlikely she will take a seizure " . He was more interested about this very important test. Well the school couldn't be nicer and she can take the test, just has to be set up. My son and I went down and got her. On a positive note showed us a better way to come home that she is very happy with. Seems the way she was coming there was all kinds of construction and it took much longer. Plus with the construction there is flashing light. Flashing lights are very bad for anyone with a seizure condition. Does anyone know if shaking, things getting hazy and lightness in the chest, hard to breathe is an anxiety attack? I am wonder if that is what happened to her. I will say Laurie is smart and can do this law thing. I don't think there will be any problems with the work at all. The dean did tell me that the first week is an extremely stressful week for all students. On top of that you put her manager and his terrible treatment to her. He keeps telling her she is stupid for going to law school. One other thing they don't like it when she has to take off, which is rare. No one knows or can do her job but her. I am sorry this is so long, I am just so upset. I just feel that nothing goes right. Thanks for letting me vent. Lynn MeMom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Hi Cortnee, Yes it was an anxiety attack, I talked with her doctor. She will see him tomorrow. I think if we could just get past this she would be fine. I really believe it is more her job that is bothering her, or better yet her little boss. He is younger than her. When he wants her, he doesn't even call her name. He just bangs on the wall for her to come. I would seriously like to meet up with him. Thanks for your note and concern. I will let you know how we make out at the doctors tomorrow, Lynn Cortnee Nixon wrote: > Lynn, > > That sounds like a panit attack to me.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 Hi , We just home from the doctors. He reassured her that it was a panic attack. He also said he felt the school lost control of the situation not Laurie. She just wanted to sit there and wait it out but they wouldn't let her. If it happens again she is to have the school call him and he will take care of things. He also recommend getting another job. Which is always easier said than done. He did give her a note stating that she was under his care on Friday and could not work. So I hope all will be okay. What a time of it. I hoped she will be all right now. Guess we wait and see. How are you doing? Guess the kids are getting ready to go back to school. Lynn wrote: > Lynn, I'm very sorry to hear this about Laurie.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 Hi , We just home from the doctors. He reassured her that it was a panic attack. He also said he felt the school lost control of the situation not Laurie. She just wanted to sit there and wait it out but they wouldn't let her. If it happens again she is to have the school call him and he will take care of things. He also recommend getting another job. Which is always easier said than done. He did give her a note stating that she was under his care on Friday and could not work. So I hope all will be okay. What a time of it. I hoped she will be all right now. Guess we wait and see. How are you doing? Guess the kids are getting ready to go back to school. Lynn wrote: > Lynn, I'm very sorry to hear this about Laurie.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 I'm glad Laurie saw the doctor, Lynn. He sounds like he is on the ball. I'll pray that she finds a new job soon and that she doesn't have any more panic attacks. I just dropped my oldest son off at college yesterday. I thought I would be able to stop myself from crying, but I was wrong. Now two are in college and only is home now. He doesn't go until Thursday. Not an MD I'll tell you where to go!
