Bin 18 und seit 6 Monaten habe ich unglaublich Herzprobleme gehabt, konnte weder zur Schule (habe trotzdem mein Abi geschafft und Studienplatz sowie eine Wohnung bei meiner Uni bekommen🙏), noch zu meinem Minijob gehen ohne, dass ich das Gefühl habe gleich umzukippen oder so, weil mein Puls bei den leichtesten Belastungen wie spazieren und ähnliches auf 160-180 hoch ist. Dadurch hat sich mittlerweile auch eine angststörung entwickelt, dass ich nicht mal normal rauskonnte ohne Panikattacken zu bekommen.

Nach mehreren Monaten Untersuchung hat sich herausgestellt, dass ich POTS habe und jetzt Beta-Blocker nehmen soll. Heute meine erste Tablette genommen und ich habe mich wie ein neuer Mensch gefühlt, ich konnte sogar ohne Probleme 1 Stunde spazieren und hatte nur einen max. Puls von 125 und keine Beschwerden, weder ein Gefühl von Panik, Angst, Übelkeit, nichts.

Ich bin einfach nur glücklich gerade, dass ich ab jetzt mit den Tabletten scheinbar wieder normal leben kann, es fühlt sich so gut an

FT3: 3.66
FT4: 13.70
TSH: 4.53

I’m taking since 7 months 5mg Methimazole daily, because I had a hyperthyroidism and now these are my blood results…

Hello everyone,
First of all, a little background: I am 18 years old. About 8 months ago, I drank an energy drink at school in the morning right after PE class (I was already feeling nauseous because I had overexerted myself during sports). My heart rate shot up so high while sitting down (160–180 bpm) that it triggered a massive panic attack. The worst symptom during this was extreme nausea. Before that day, I had never experienced panic attacks or anything like that; it really all started on that specific day.

My heart rate has always been a bit elevated anyway, but since then, it somehow kept getting worse day by day. That’s why I went to the doctor at the beginning of the year, and I was diagnosed with an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism). At that time, my resting heart rate was around 96 bpm, and it went up to 160–180 bpm just from walking—both measured by my doctor via a 24-hour ECG. I was prescribed 5 mg of Methimazole for treatment, and by now, my thyroid levels are supposedly back to normal with a TSH value of 1.98.

The problem, however, is that the panic attacks are still happening in potentially stressful situations. This makes working my part-time retail job alongside school, as well as attending other events—like those for the university where I’ll start studying in October—extremely difficult. My resting heart rate is now around 70 bpm, sometimes closer to 60, but other times still around 80–90 bpm, even when I'm lying down. Just walking pushes it to at least 120 bpm, but it averages around 135 bpm. With even slight exertion, it immediately spikes up to 170–190 bpm.

Four months ago, my doctor actually wanted to prescribe me beta-blockers, but since I am so young, they wanted me to see a cardiologist first. It took a while to get an appointment, but fortunately, it’s finally at the end of this month. In the meantime, however, these panic attacks, the extreme nausea, dizziness, etc., have worsened, and I’m slowly running out of options/at my wit's end.

It has become such a burden for me, especially working, because I can no longer go to my shifts without taking 50–150 mg of Dimenhydrinate due to the nausea...

Because of this, I did some research into what might be causing it and came across POTS. But as I said, I have no idea if it might be something else entirely, and my appointment is still 3 weeks away.

I would be very grateful if anyone who experiences the same thing could give me tips on what to do in acute situations, like at work, to manage the panic attacks. Walking or riding the bus isn't a problem for me. Although a constant mild-to-moderate nausea has developed over time that just won’t go away—likely because I feel like I'm under constant stress—I have learned to live with that over the past few months.

Auch wenn ich aufgrund von extremen Stress (und einer schlechten Erfahrung) seit knapp 7 Monaten wöchentlich unter Panikattacken leide freue ich mich unglaublich sehr darauf nach Hamburg zu ziehen, ich bin mir auch sehr sicher, dass alles was die Panikattacken angeht dadurch besser wird, weil ich einfach so unglaublich unglücklich in meiner aktuellen Stadt bin und wirklich jeden Tag hier einfach weg und etwas Neues erleben möchte :)

Guten Abend, kurz einmal zu mir, ich bin männlich und 19 Jahre alt.

Ich weiß nicht was und wieso das gerade passiert ist, aber ich habe aufeinmal angefangen zu weinen, das erste Mal seit fast 7 Jahren…

Zur Vorgeschichte: meine Mutter hatte zwischen 2017 und 2020 3 Chemotherapien, Bestrahlung, mehrere OPs etc. Aufgrund eines aggressiven Tumors den sie besiegt hat🙏. In der Zeit bis ungefähr 2023 hatte ich fast täglich Panikattacken und halt alles was dazu gehört, welche dann von 2023 bis Ende 2025 fast komplett weg waren. Und nun habe ich wieder seit Ende letzten Jahres regelmäßig Panikattacken die ich aber relativ ok in Griff habe wenn ich vomex nehme (ich weiß sollte man nicht 7 Monate wöchentlich nehmen, weshalb ich auf pflanzliches versuche umzusteigen).

Bin den ganzen Tag irgendwie schon angespannt gewesen und ja wie gesagt, ich liege im Bett und habe aufeinmal über eine halbe Stunde geweint und ich kann nicht aufhören. Ich habe Angst, dass ich nun schwach oder so werde, da ich relativ früh mit 10 schon recht selbstständig werden musste aufgrund der Therapie meiner Mutter, musste mich um sie kümmern etc. Weil mein Vater morgens von 5-17 Uhr arbeitet (Führungskraft in einem großen Unternehmen, weshalb es uns finanziell auch nicht schlecht geht) und dann wenn er zu Hause ist in den Keller geht und anfängt bier zu trinken um dann abends einmal kurz mit uns zu essen und ins Bett zu gehen. Und in der Zeit als mein Vater noch nicht so eine hohe Position hatte und man natürlich mehrere Stunden am Tag etwas unternommen hat, habe ich gelernt keine Emotionen zu zeigen, weil das ein Zeichen von schwäche ist…

Außerdem ziehe ich in ein paar Monaten zum studierend in eine andere Stadt worauf ich mich eigentlich sehr freue, weil es meine traumstadt hier in Deutschland zum leben mit meinem Traum Studiengang ist, ich habe einfach nur Angst, dass diese nervösität, Unruhe, Panik und so bis dahin anhält, wobei ich am liebsten jetzt schon dahin gehen würde.

Ich will einfach wissen was mit mir los ist, ist es überhaupt ok als Mann zu weinen?

Hi, I’m 19 years old and the last time I threw up was when I was 5 years old, so it’s about 14 years ago. Since about 8 years I have emetophobia (panic attacks and nausea at school/work and on events), because my mother had 3 chemotherapies and almost threw up one to three times a week from 2018 to 2020. And I’m almost everyday so fucking afraid of throwing up, especially in social.

Now my other most important question: How can I get rid of this panic?

Like going in the gym or something like that isn’t that bad, often I’m not even nervous and don’t feel nausea, just on work, in school and when I’m on events from my university

Hi everyone, I’m a 19-year-old male. From 2018 until mid-2023, I suffered from almost daily panic attacks—accompanied by severe nausea, a racing heart, sweating, etc.—because my mother had cancer. In 2023, I started high school and hardly dealt with panic or nervousness anymore.

Then, around late 2025 (October/November), I overexerted myself during sports at school and almost threw up (though I didn't actually end up vomiting). Since then, I’ve been having panic attacks almost every day again, especially when I go out or have to work. As a result, I’ve started taking 50–150 mg of dimenhydrinate regularly (about 3–4 times a week) because it’s the only thing that really calms me down or gets rid of the nausea. It constantly feels like I’m on the verge of vomiting; I’ve even had episodes of intense retching, though nothing actually came up.

I’ve tried passion flower extract, too, but it only helps a little. On top of that, I have hyperthyroidism, which was diagnosed in January of this year. I don’t know my exact levels, but my doctor said they’re good now, though I’m supposed to keep taking the medication.

In three months, I’m moving out of my parents' house to start university. Do you have any tips on how I can manage my panic attacks—and especially that terrible nausea? I’m honestly at a loss as to what to do.

Thank you so much if someone has some ideas :)

So, jetzt mal ein Thema was wahrscheinlich viele hier beschäftigt, und vor dem ich auch extrem Angst habe. Also zuerst einmal, 2 Noten kenne ich schon, mündliche Prüfung 6 Punkte und besondere lernleistung 14 Punkte. Seit Wochen habe ich aber so einen extremen Stress und Unruhe in mir, weil ich aufjedenfall eine LK Prüfung bestanden haben muss, also entweder Chemie oder Englisch, in beiden Fächern bin ich normalerweise so bei 7-10 Punkten in den Klausuren, aber bei beiden Abiprüfungen hatte ich so ein schlechtes Gefühl, dass ich absolut nicht einschätzen kann ob ich bestanden habe oder nicht und muss nun noch bis nächste Woche Montag auf die Noten warten…

Wem geht’s auch so?
