The ABC Homeopathy Forum

Someone !! Please help me !!!

Hello,

I REALLY hope you guys can help me out! I'll try and explain a bit about the problem :

Started about 8 months back. Going to a party, my lets grew weak and I thought I could'nt stand up any more. Went to the ER, everything normal so the Doc there gave me a tablet of MelZap . All was fine and I came home.

After that, for 6-7 days every evening I'd have the same sensations ... jelly legs , flushed face , seemingly trouble breathing .. once I remember I was sorta shivering REAL hard so the ER doc gave me another Melzap and suggested Stress as the culprit.

I don't have a stressful life AT ALL !! I own my own business, love my wife and kids and am happy with my life! No long working hours or anything of that sort too ..

So I went to a shrink and he suggested the term ' Panic Attack' and gave me a few medicines. I took none and don't intend too either because I've seen people go from bad to worse after being on those medicines. FYI, the Doc gave me Petril MD .25mg which I've not taken till date, but ALWAYS keep handy in case of emergency.

Everyday, 4-5 times in a day, I feel the same sensations .. weak legs,heavy breathing , flushed face.. but since I got to know what it is, I sorta can 'steer' through it, but those 15-30 mins are the longest ever.

I went to my local Homeopath and he suggested :

Bc-16 ( 4tabs 4 times/day)
Ignisium ( 4 pellets once a week)

You can get remedies on here to help
with this. I had had panic attacks and
got over them totally.

I'm REALLY hoping the Docs here can do the same for me!


However,
usually something set them off mentally
in most cases.
think back to going to the party, what
went thru your mind before your legs
got weak? Bc you can have a thought-
that is only 3 seconds and for some
reason terrifies you, and brain tries
to protect you by activating the panic
response- which is low brain takes over
shuts the frontal cortex down and
puts you into flight or fight mode
when there is no danger. You are flooded with adrenalin but it has
no logic bc there is nothing to use
it for-but it starts with some very
quick thought.

I've actually tried and tried to think about it .. maybe it was that at that time, there were TOO many parties and I was virtually out EVERY night for like a week or so ..

after that incident however, I shy away from parties and socialize the BARE minimum.

You might want to describe the actual panic attacks in more detail. Go through one and describe it step by step. Homoeopathy best works when a high level of detail of the complaints is given, not just a short single sentence description. Describe everything - physcial sensations, mental thoughts, emotions, what you feel the need to do, what you can do to moderate it, what triggers it, what makes it worse while it is happening. More is better in homoeopathy.

Try not to just give one word answers. Saying 'sick' as a response to how you feel isn't going to help anyone. Don't you think all sick people are going to feel 'sick'?

Also, stop that other treatment. That is not homoeopathy but such a careless use of medicines may very well harm you. There is no such medicine as Ignesium in homoeopathy, and the other one is a combination remedy from the sound of it. Combination remedies break the basic principles of homoeopathy and put your health at risk.

Apologies for the mix-up. I checked my medicines again and they are as follows :

Ignatia 1m 4 pallets once a week
BC-16 4 tablets 4 times a day
( Calcarea Phosph 3x , Ferrum Phosph 3x, Kali Phosph 3x, Magnesium Phosph 3x, Natrum Phosph 3x in equal proportion )

I'll try to describe what happens to me when the attack happens :

It really, happens out of nowhere.. I could be sitting on my computer, watching a movie, driving , eating .. anything ...

The first thing I notice is that I start sighing .. a few seconds later, I feel my knees won't hold my weight .. another few seconds after the realization, I feel my face emitting heat . All tis while I'm thinking, OMG .. here we go again and keep trying to figure out why this happens. I'm not nervous or scared anymore because I know it'll pass in a few minutes. Sometimes, I feel as if my whole body is shivering.. yet other times I feel light headed.

Usually, I just continue doing whatever it is I'm doing and it passes in a few minutes. I have'nt been able to pin-point any triggers or what makes it go away either.

regards,
aggarwal

Varun,

I'm not comfortable uploading videos as my internet connection isn't fast enough. Secondly, I've tried already and every time I come up with nothing purely owing to the fact that I simply don't remember when it happens and am preoccupied trying to figure out why.....

Don't know if I emote during such an attack but all I can remember is trying to rub off the heat from my face a few times.

Regards,
Aggarwal

Like I said in my initial post Simone, The Doc prescribed me Petril MD 0.25. The Doc told me to take half a tab when it happens and take 1 tab before going to bed.

I have'nt actually taken any yet but do carry 2 tabs in my wallet all the time for emergencies.

I know it's a phase and it'll pass.. probably that's why I'm able to get through them in about 5-10 mins.

I don't know what Pertril is- if it is like
valium or Xanax? I don't like any drugs,
just used them if a problem, but
I used the Aconite 30 c as an acute
and that helped.The less you have attacks
the less 'memory' gets stored.
 
simone717 last decade
Don't know but a quick search on the net tells me its some sort of anti depressant and also works as a sleep inducer. My doc told me to take one every night regardless of the days happenings.

I'm really looking forward to some homeopathic remedies to get out of this so I can finally remove the emergency tablets from my wallet and live my life happily.

Varun,

I don't know if it could be that simple :)

I'm sure however that whatever the good doctors here prescribe would be the best course of action for me.

I'm sorry you're going thru this...I did for years and years until a progressive psychiatrist suggested a 24. Hr sleep deprived EEG. Mine were caused by petit mal seizures. Don't mean to scare you but my life began again after I was able to find MY root cause.

Also -are you taking the Ignatia1M?

bc if it is not been helping-it can cause
proving-sighing etc- so If that did not
happen in original attack, then you
might be proving the Ignatia. You should
stop all those things ( homeopathic) as
Brisbane said and see what goes on
after 3 days or so. Plus get the physical
and teeth check up.

Then there would be a clean slate to
start from if no physical or dental things
show up. Meantime you could try
aconite as an acute. You want to get
this done right.
 
simone717 last decade
I already got a full medical examination done .. nothing in it .. only Serum B12 was a bit low ( routine for vegans ) but I got shots for that as well ..

Dental checkup was also performed about a month back .. nothing there..

STILL everyday the same .. really struggling to get this under control :(

On top of that, since a few days, I've starting having a lot of gas and acidity..

Since no one is prescribing, why
don't you ask for someone -change your
headline and put in the person you
would like- use the edit button.

Brisbane is not taking cases at the moment bc he is recovering from car
accident. Look over the forum and
Pick someone. (Sameer Vermani also does
not pick up hardly any new cases)
 
simone717 last decade
Hello Simone,

I would'nt know who to ask for help!! The reason for a forum posting was to get expert advice... but no-one seems to be interested in my condition :(

could you suggest anyone ?
