Panic Attacks

[jelbel 0]

Does anyone suffer from panic attacks?

I have been suffering from these anxiety attacks since February. I get very sleepy with one of my medicines. I know I'll have a hard time before the surgery.

I wonder what other people have done....:help:

Talk to your doctor in before you go in for surgery so that when you are in pre-op and you ask for something for nerves (usually they give you valium) they are prepared. I suffer from anxiety as well and had them do that for me.

Good luck

I concur. Talk to your doc and get Valium before you go. When I was 17 and had rhinoplasty, the doctor (thinking I'd be nervous but I wasn't) gave me a Valium to take before my mom drove me to the hospital. I didn't need the Valium, but taking it was quite a ride. I'm sure it will help prevent a panic attack.

Def talk to your doc. I wasnt that nervous before my surgery but when i was coming out of anesthesia(probably how i react to that stuff) instead of getting neauseated i got SEVERLY anxious. Like i was trying to get off of my bed and like run out of the hospital- lol- i thought they were out to get me. They gave me meds then, and in an hour or two i was better. But take it from me, you dont want that to happen after surgery, so take something before hand.
