panic attack of asthma ? Posted: 05-15-08 14:29pm


I have a young brother, 15 years of age, that has had "Panic Attacks" for some years now. The reason the doctors call them panic attacks is because they are not sure what it is. Some thought it was asthma.. but I don't know.. every time it happens he takes an inhaler. I just felt like making a post here to see if this happens to anyone else... It happens to him at the most random times. He might be walking around and he starts getting dizzy, he might be eating lunch and his chest starts hurting.. But what happens is his chest starts hurting or he gets dizzy, then he starts struggling for breath saying he can't breathe. his chest hurts really bad.. Oh, and he says he's really hot.. It always goes away, though, after a couple of minutes (maybe 5 maybe 10 maybe 20..) It's usually when my mom comes and does stuff, but some times he can go on his own. It was also suggested that protien would help? I don't know lol That's all I can really say.. Don't know much else. Of course we went through that stage, "Is he faking to stay home from school?" type thing.. Anyone else had this problem before?

They thought it was panic but still gave him an inhaler? It sounds like it could be panic, definitely. The best way to treat panic attacks are to see a psychologist.
