Panic attacks during menopause & how to deal with them
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 лис 2018
- Panic attacks can be a frightening symptom which many menopause women experience, so this week on A.Vogel Talks Menopause I thought I would take a close look at what causes them, including common triggers, how to calm down during a panic attack and how to prevent them.
Thank you soo much for sharing your amazing advise and remedies. I am 46 yrs old and have all symptoms of Anxiety, depression, panic attacks and heart palpatations, sweats and hot flushes. I was so overwhelmed and scared, had no idea what was happening to me until I started watching your video's. I am going to start a daily diary and watch my food intake. I have already starting doing daily breathing exercises and meditation which helps so much when i go into a state of panic as well as focussing on something that takes my mind away from whatever is happening to me. My partner has been a huge support as well which is a great bonus to me getting through this change. Once again thanku. Im not dying! Im not going mad! I can beat this and I will. Yayeeee.
Hi Sheryl, please do let us know how you get on. It sounds like you have a good plan, and good support, but if you have any questions going forward please email eileen@avogel.co.uk
@@AvogelCoUk hello A.Vogel, thank you for this information, l now know am not under demonic attacks. In February 2020 l was admitted in a mental hospital for what they said was paranoia condition, l am in my menopause. My question is, do this panic attacks ever go away or one gets to live with them ? Is it a phase l have to go through in menopause? I drink lots of water.
Hi Kate
This is a very difficult question as it is different for every woman, sorry. In general, however, for most women this is one of the phases which you can support with natural remedies.

Yes, Menopause is awful. Anxiety, depression, panic attacks......I've started on Prozac. Takes a few weeks to work......but hopefully it will help!
Just celebrated my 40th birthday and I have all these symptoms and have been off work for the past two weeks. Never thought these will happen so early. Am reading a lot to educate myself about these things so I can better manage all of this and I hope all this is just a phase and it will go away. I will be free yet again and enjoy this second phase of my life.
I thought the same thing I was 39 years old when all my symptoms started. I just turned 41. It's good to have a chanel like this and a community to disgust things with. Because for a while there I thought I was going crazy.
I experienced my first panic attack this week. I thought I was having a heart attack. I didn't have any fears of danger but I couldn't breathe, dizzy, cold hands, suffocating feeling. Omg I never want to go through with it again 😢
I was getting panic attacks and didn't know it was because of menopause.Its a terrifying experience.So thankful to you!
Being out in the garden always helped me to cope and feel better sooner rather than staying indoors
Great to hear that you've found something that helps. I love being out in may garden too!

Eating at regular intervals and drinking lots of water is really good

I had a panic attack when we were on the freeway. My ears got hot palpitations sweaty palms trouble breathing. My husband pulled off the road. I can usually snap out of them like Dr Phil said however this one was Bad.... One thing I did hear of was getting a cup of ice and chewing on ice which the senses redirect themselves.
Thank you for this video.
You're welcome and thanks for the ice tip!

Man I've really felt like I was loosing my mind and I am so great full 💞 for this video. I can't believe this wild ride, nobody prepared me for this for sure
Glad you found it helpful!

My wife said she thinks she’s “become a different person. This isn’t like me! What’s wrong? Why can’t I change? Why can’t I be myself?” This video helped. ❤
Things that help me redirect during the day are staying busy with chores and hobbies and conversations with friends and family, while trying to remember to breathe deeply, that's the tricky part!
Great tips, thank you Susan!
Listening to you is so soothing. You make it sound so easy to deal with. I love your videos.
Hi Toyin
Thank you so much for your lovely comments! :)

This has definitely taken over my life. Mt hormones shifting during my cycle always meant eating very differently during the luteal and follicular phases, but now that there's no predictable schedule to my cycle, oy. I'll be strong, stable, sleeping well and feeling great for weeks, then I crash and it's a constsnt battle with crippling panic attacks and blood sugar crashes. I've leaned on Atarax to help get through the worst ones. But it helps so much to hear this talked about and read how other women are experiencing this. I'm in the midst of another one now, after a week of on and off attacks. Praying for it to shift back to normal soon.
Hi Madeleine
Do hope some of the tips can be of benefit for you.

Hope some of these tips can be of help for you Jocelyna

Thank you for a very helpful video. After taking myself to hospital a few times with what I thought was a heart attack, I have since realised it was a panic attack. I suffer quite badly with panic attacks and feel them trying to take over, as I delve deeper into menopause (never suffered prior). Self talk, deep breathing and listening to a wonderful youtube channel 'Jason Stephenson' who has great guided meditations for anxiety and panic all help. One meditation video in particular lifts me out of panic within minutes. It's my safety net and God send. I listen as I drift off to sleep as that's when panic hits me hardest. There are many channels that may help also. In addition as per your advice, I'm buying lavender oil tomorrow also :)
Hi Narelle
Thank you for the UA-cam recommendations; this is really helpful as there are so many channels to choose from it can sometimes take ages to find something suitable!
Thanks much for the information..
Progesterone cream has helped me with menopausal panic attacks. It doesn't help over night but after time, it really works.
Thank you for your wonderful videos! The smell of mint really helps me. I keep soft peppermints with me when I leave home, and I regularly wear mint lipgloss! 😂 Blessings to all you ladies!
Hi E

Thank you so helpful 🙌
This is such an informative video. Thank you! I've been having awful heart racing and anxiety and I've been tested and checked for everything even an adrenal tumour. It's amazing that not one consultant has made the connection with the fact this all started since I went into menopause. What I would like to know is do these symptoms subside with time?
Hi Skilla
Great to hear that the video has been of benefit for you!
Unfortunately, it is really difficult to say how long this may last for you as it is different for every woman, sorry. However, doing as much as you can re diet, supplements relaxation etc can often ease symptoms.

This is very helpful thank you. I have experienced this and I know it was really scary. I am glad you are talking about it too.
You're welcome, it's one of the horrid menopause symptoms!

@@lisaklozenberg6408 are you okay now? I think my supplements are really helping
@@trishtuckermay what supplements are you taking that help panic attacks and anxiety?
@@jessie9653 Hey Jessica, i take a few. magnesium, fish oil, adrenal complex, and mito2max that has adaptagens and ginseng. Occasionally I will take 5HTP as well. How about you? I use my essential oils to help as well and I particularly like copaiba. I am happy to discuss further if you wish you can book a call here p.bttr.to/2MZVUKN

Hi Bintu
You're welcome! :)
Thanks a lot
My nerves are shot to begin with. Have been on anxiety meds. Menopause just compounds what I’ve already been feeling. I’m tired.
So sorry to hear this, hope all resolves soon for you.

Eileen
Thank you God bless you
You are welcome!
strategies do not work for my panic attacks.
This is great! My wife has menopause and it’s bringing anxiety etc. UGH! “I don’t know what’s wrong with me! I don’t know if I’ll ever go back. I don’t, I can’t etc etc.” Thank You! Can you do another video on how to heal during menopause and say something like “be really physically intimate with your mate” ok. Just an idea. Yeah. She’s in pain but come on. This can’t be forever.😮❤
Glad this was helpful for you. Unfortunately, it is difficult to say how long this may last as it is different for everyone. From feedback, I do know that most women really appreciate good support from their partner

Yes essential oils really help with some deep breathing.
Can you recommend something for insomnia?
Hi Gwen
You could try the Dormeasan; this is specifically for sleep and usually works quite quickly. Other factors that can affect sleep are:
caffeine and alcohol drinks at night, so avoid these
Low blood sugars so have a good snack about an hour before bed, but not a sugary one!
Dehydration, so remember to drink lots of plain water every day and have a little shot glass of warm water just before bed

@@AvogelCoUk thank you. I have to go for more blood tests . Least no more panic attacks 🤞
@@pauline6005 hope all goes well for you!
I do accept what you have written - definately more difficult than it sounds to overcome fear of driving.
Be cautious and take advice from others. I looked many websites and found plenty of expert help by searching google on websites such as Roys Quick Fix. I wish you luck and hope you are successful!
Thank you for your helpful tips Vivek

@@AvogelCoUk Thank you Eileen for your wonderful videos. They were suggested to me when I started searching for relief from the onset of symptoms last week. You have been a blessing in my life as I have felt so afraid and alone. Your presentation is so therapeutic, with your calming and reassuring manner and voice and helpful ideas. I wrote down all your food suggestions, went shopping and changed my diet for the better. I have recommended your channel to members of Facebook menopause groups. I'm so grateful to have you in my life, making this life transition easier!
Thank you so much for your lovely comments Susan, glad to be of help!
Thanks too, for passing us on :)
