Suggest Treatment For Dehydration And Panic Attack

Hello, my name is Doris, Jenny Hoyt recommended you. I was on a holiday in CO & NM and while there experienced altitude sickness, dehydration and shortly after panic attacks. While going through perimenopause 20 yrs. ago I had a bit of this. And can’t stand sharing my space again with it at the moment. Would like to know what your schedule is like and see if we can connect, sooner than later, if you please. Blood work was taken today to follow up on my thyroid challenge, etc. and health. Jenny thinks the hypo challenge has manifested itself into hyper? Quien sabe, we shall soon find out. would like to meet with you at your earliest convenience, thank you. By the way, My heart, BP, and most of me is in pretty darn good condition, despite my unusual come and go quirks. I actually am a bit calmer at the moment, but have periods where I think I am doing all I can to hold on. Screaming is a good thing, as is crying, & of course some of my passions - - singing and dancing, though am not feeling much like the two ladder, which I normally, normally love! But then am not feeling so hot at the moment. I am 61, 34 yrs. married to a very loving and interesting chap, never had kids, infertility, am creative, like to work with my hands, garden, knit, sew, quilt, crochet, cook, metal smithing, broke my patella 6 yrs. ago, and clavicle when I was 3, had 2 laparoscopies 25 - 30 yrs ago, mother is still alive, have 4 siblings, they all reside in SoCal., love to travel, hike in nature, strolle the beach, enjoy the movies, cook & bake with friends, go out, dance all summer at the summer concerts. Studied Psych and Soc in college and graduated with a BA in Sociology, as did my husband. Was an academic advisor at UCSB for many yrs. Then stayed home for sometime, took care of sis and nephew when she had leukemia and later another niece, a 3 yr old, helped my brother and sister in law with her, cause they were having a difficult time coping, did many missions outreach trips to Europe & Mexico for years. Am a Tica, place of birth - Costa Rica, came to UCSB in 1975 and stayed, fell in love with the smallness of it and still love being here, over SoCal any day!!! Have two childhood best pals from age 9 and age 10. Looking for a mature spiritual type psychotherapist to start working with as soon as possible. Thanks, That’s a little about me, more to yet be discovered! Doris Maria Scoltock-Smeltz, 451-3438, my best mode of communication is via email, and of course last minute things that come up (the phone), however, it is not usually on my body, but in my bag in the car or in the house, somewhere else from where I physically am :-). In Colorado Springs with my niece - I am the one with the cap on. - Doris

Dear Dorris
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I do understand your concerns. I am not sympathazing because sympathy could worsen the symptoms. Panic attacks are usually due to underlying anxiety disorder. We need to find out how and why those anxiety disorders started and what are those anxieties? Do you have any phobias or fear? When people are dehydrated and anxious, mild to moderate panic attacks are normal and it is body's defense mechanism. You need to understand that defense mechanism and not to worry and be obsessive much about that. Awareness, change in life style, exercise, meditation and cognitive behavior therapy etc should help you in managing your anxiety and panic attacks. If you do not meet with a psychotherapist near you, I am ready to provide you the treatment through this medium. Please post a direct query to me with every detail. Take care.

If you still need my assistance in this regard, please use this link. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Please remember to describe the whole problem with full detail.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
