Hello, i'm new here and english is not my
first language so mistakes are possible..
Sorry
do you think it's possible to have very
rapid pulse (130) under extreme stress?
This happend to me twice in last seven
days and it lasted util I calmed myself
down.
If this problems are only psychic, can
anything happen to me physical durnig this
"attacks"?
Thank you

No, panic attacks do not harm your body in
anyway. They are however extremely
scary, and you think that they will hurt
you, but they don't.

That could also be the sign of a thyroid
problem. I would definitely see a doctor
is it happens again. Better safe than
sorry!
Good luck!

Oh yeah, I didn't think about that.. I
have hypothyroidism. And that is a sign
of it.. Also weight gain, lethargy, hair
loss. Etc.

Well, thanks..
You were fast in your answers.. This is
now big burden for me, this was extremely
unpleasent expirience and now i'm checking
my heart rate every 5 minutes.. And when
it's close or around 100 (which is often
becuse i'm thniking about it all the time)
I get nervous and that just complicates
the problem and creates a magic circle.

Hi dido-
looks like you have already gotten some
good advice :d definitely get your
thyroid checked and if it ends up being
anxiety and panic you may want to look
into cognitive behavioral therapy (cbt) as
it taught me the tools I needed to get
over the problem. My favorite
introductory book on cbt is "been there,
done that? Do this! By sam obitz and
many universities offer cbt programs that
are of little or no cost to the
patients.
Good luck!
