Four days ago at work, I all the sudden got light headed and felt like I was going to fall over, I also had a shortness of breath it was hard to breath. I went to the clinic and they said my blood pressure was 170/90, Maybe it was a miss read, its back to normal now.
But now for the past 3 days, every time I go to say rent a movie or drive around. I get this panic attack sorta thing, It gets hard to breath its hard to concentrate, I also get very anxious. It happens every time I go out now for the past 4 days. I went to the doctors today, my blood pressure was normal, but couldn't explain the shortness of breath panicky feeling. HE put my on ativan, witch I don't know if I should be taking it.
From research I have done I feel I have Social Anxiety disorder I fear the thought of going to a big party even tho all my friends do, I have a fear of just being in public, or hanging out with new people or big crowds, I just try to avoid them. I feel I'm losing friends this way. my buddy will ask me to come out and drink, but i make stuff up so I can stay at home. it sucks, but i feel very comfortable sitting hear rather than going to get drunk at some persons house.
I haven't been able to work for days, I was fine until now... Why now?
It seems when I went to the mall, I started getting the panic feeling, but as soon as I got in the parking lot, and saw my car, I was fine, but in traffic as soon as I come to a stop and know I have to wait for a bit I start to get very anxious and it gets hard to breath also I get light headed.
IS THERE ANY TREATMENT I CAN TAKE!!! PLEASE IF ANYONE KNOWS WHERE I CAN FIND HELP IN VANCOURVER. I APPRETIATE IT!
