Shedav6, Always wait for the next dose after being sick because you never know if the pill has been absorbed! When trying to determine if you have the flu or a PA, try taking your temperature? The flu is usually followed by an increase in body temperature. Try our panic diary and record your symptoms. This diary can be helpful in the future to determine if are experiencing a PA or if you getting sick again. Thanks for asking these important questions today :). Take care, Melanie

Hi there. I'm sorry to hear you aren't feeling too swift right now. I just thought I'd tell you that I had a very similar situation like yours on Friday. I was at work and was getting symptoms of my panic attacks ie: lightheadedness, unsteadyness, tense back ect.. So I started to panic somewhat about having a panic attack. I stuck it out at work and left half an hour early cause I really wasn't feeling great. I was so upset for leaving work! I thought I was leaving because my anxiety was bad and now I will be having a setback. :( Well you know what? I got home and took my temperature. I HAD A FEVER!!!! So!! That means most likely my "Pre-panic attack symptoms" were from a fever and I was coming down with the flu. I worked myself into a state thinking I was going to panic, when all along I was actually not well. I know it is so hard to stop worrying about having an attack (I'm sitting here in a cold sweat before work because I felt anxious there on Friday) but I'm trying to tell myself that my fever is gone and I'm going to have a good day. That is hard to do i know, but I'm trying :) The heat sensations that were running up your arms could possibly be from a fever, however, because you are coming down with the flu (I'd say that is a good bet you are)your mind is freaking out because it feels like a panic attack. Go have some hot soup and relax infront of a funny movie or a good book. I hope you feel better soon! :) Jen

OMG!! Here I have been doing good. Than out of nowhere I get one while trying to fall asleep to my relaxation tape last night. Weeks without an attack. =0( Good news was that I talked myself through it and didn't get up out of bed and pace. Bad news this morning I fear another one. . On top of it I believe I have the flu.......so I am afraid of taking my meds and throwing them up. =0( I am unsure what is the flu and what is anxiety related this morning Question: If you throw up after taking a tranquilizer/benzo do you take another??? Or wait for the next dosage time? Have alot on my plate. Have two very close friends moving (we are military so are they) in the month of February, plus my dh is going to sea in the month of Jan. First time since 2001 I am disappointed in myself since I thought I was handling it all well. =0( We helped a friend move on Thurs. I woke up with a backache (which I freak on since having a kidney stone years ago) thurs morn. But I kept my promise to help the friend move. Friday morning I was so sore and knew most was from the moving. But had a killer sore throat. Yesterday we babysat 5 kids in addition to our crew all day and my sundown I was feeling like ****. Its all running together into a gray mass and I am unsure what is anxiety, what is flu and what is pain from the move. I do know I had the heat sensations shooting up my arms last night at midnight (usually my first PA attack symptom). GRRR frustrated here can you tell???
