How Can Panic Attacks While Suffering From Fibromyalgia Be Treated?
Hello. I have had panic attacks in the past and had another this past Thursday night. I also have fibromyalgia and have been under a tremendous amount of stress due to my job and family obligations. However I have not felt right since the panic attack. The pain levels throughout my body have been higher than normal, especially in my upper body and my arms feel week. Sometimes I feel better but then it comes back. Could this be from the fibro? I am only recently diagnosed.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The panic attack during fibromyalgia is not normal panic attacks. I suggest you work with your neurologist for better treatment. For further clarifications, make sure that you include every minute details possible.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. K. V. Anand
