Help
I'm scared. These panic attacks keep coming. I just had one this morning just sitting on my couch. Continuous panic attacks ever since I used a portable vagus nerve stimulator(for a month now! I stopped the portable vagus nerve stimulator when I had my first initial panic attack that sent me to the hospital). During my panic attacks, first my brain feels weird, like out of body, then my lips start twitching, my face starts tingling, my chest gets tight and all that. Going outside helps calm everything down, but having a panic attack in my safe place (my home) is scaring me. My husband called me and it calmed it down further. My chest is still tight. I was able to go to my hematology appointment yesterday morning, and have lunch with my husband without a panic attack. But I ended up having one going to my daughter's chorus concert. I had to get out of my seat and go outside, my husband went with me and that calmed me down. This morning, it just happened out of nowhere. Went outside and it calmed down a bit, and then my husband called me and finally my lip unlocked and face stopped tingling. I can't keep doing this. I am exhausted from all these panic attacks every week for a month or so now. My psychiatrist prescribed guanfacine, but it's not working. I'm lost. Will I ever be able to function normally again ? I hate that I'm doing this to my husband and daughter. I'm on short term disability at the moment because I can't drive or work like this 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I wish I would've never used that stupid device.... Waiting on an appointment with a neurologist to make sure it didn't damage anything. I'm trying everything. EMDR therapy, breath work, tapping, hypnosis videos, humming, telling myself I'll be okay... I'm scared I'll never be normal again.
P.S.
I have MCAS and chronic Lyme disease.
