It will be interesting to see your results. Personally I believe the incidence of anxiety, Panic Attacks, and depression are under reported for males. Us males have a tendency to deny we experience them.

Would be nice if some form of physical test could be found. i suspect in time there will be as there should be a correlation between synoptic activity and levels of depression.
 
very true..
there is such a thing as reactive depression as well.. where bad events have a direct chemical influence.. yesterday I started a thread entitled a doctor's toxic shock..

his condition worsening after meds.. it was an interesting read.. sob7an Allah...
no one is immune from this, old young, male/female.. doctors/patients .. it is the human condition.. I am glad there is so much info out there about it.. I know in my home country anyone seeking meds for any sort of 'depressive disorder' is shunned (maybe things have changed now?)

I am not sure there is anything quite so bad as being a prisoner to one's own mind..

May Allah swt have mercy on this umma..


:w:
 
I voted for I am a female and have never experienced these symptoms
 
Guess u people are talking anxiety/panic attacks, I suffer from these and have learned self management, never seen medical help and feel that I have conquered it.

A truly horrible experience..........
 
This is informal and before I do anything major just need to get a rough idea-- it is a sort of a cohort study :hmm: for now I just need you to kindly participate by voting in the area that most applies, and if any of the first three apply, I need you to express the following on the account it couldn't be included--


here is the list of symptoms

Difficulty Breathing (only once was in a bad situation)
Smothering Sensation (no)
Chest Pain Or Discomfort (no)
Tingling Numbness Of The Skin (no)

:w:
 
Assalam o alikum
Fear of dying or going crazy or about to die. this thing happens to me alot
 
:sl:

I'm not sure how I'm meant to do this, forgive me if I'm going about it the wrong way. I have to say though that I'm a very poor eater and that's probably affected my answers.

Pounding Heartbeat---almost always, though probably because I drink coffee all day everyday and usually chase after buses and elusive professors.

Difficulty Breathing---never

Smothering Sensation---no

Chest Pain Or Discomfort---was once diagnosed with angina after very bad chest pains :) I still get sharp pains, but not very often. No more quack visits though..

Tingling Numbness Of The Skin---only when anxious

Lump In Throat---when close to tears

Hot Or Cold Feeling---only when feverish :)

Sweatiness---when exercising (rarely)

Shakiness---no

Nausea---again bad diet, too much junk and I get sick every once in a while

Palpitations or a thumping heart---too much coffee

Sweating and trembling---no

Hot flushes or chills---hopefully not for a long time :D

Feeling short of breath, sometimes with choking sensations---no

Chest pains---asked already

Feeling sick---answered already

Feeling dizzy, or faint---I do get blackouts, but they don't last long. Used to faint a lot when I was a teenager. I recall fainting once out of fear.

Fear of dying or going crazy or about to die---passed that phase

Numbness, or pins and needles---numbness not really. I've got pins and needles right now from my sitting position

Feelings of unreality, or being detached from yourself---always, I fear I may have lost touch with reality a long time ago.



1- Did you seek professional help for your symptoms? Yes, chest pains.

2- Did you take anything for your symptoms? Strong painkillers

3- on average how long did your symptoms last? Still ongoing but less painful.

4- what do you believe brought them on? No idea

5- what do you believe made your symptoms subside? No idea

6- on average what constitutes 'often'', under special circumstance' or 'rarely', in other words, how many times per month or per year? Rarely, once every two months, can't say for sure.

7- Does anyone else in your family suffer such symptoms? Not that I know of

8- Do you know anyone who has committed suicide because of such symptoms? No

9- Do you have any other serious medical conditions or that require medications? Do horrible bunions constitute serious medical condition?
 
may ALLAH solves your problems i really dont have any idea what its all about i did'nt understood
 
inshallah, so sister skye, what will you be using our records on? i.e what is the study on?, if you dont mind answering that is.
Peace
 
women seem to experience these symptoms at a ratio of 2:1
that is what I have concluded.. I am not using this to publish... hence I stated in the beginning this by now means is a scientific study -- maybe in the future with my findings here I might do some serious research on the matter?

I think the purpose of any study should go beyond epidemiology and stats to focus on alleviating cause or rx of symptoms... but not enough people seek help for a gamut of reasons

Jazaka Allah for participation and interest........

:w:
 
Erm, I've never encountered all of the symptoms at one given point but I do rarely get a few when I'm feeling ill...

Because you're supposed to sleep on Yr right side innay, ma mom said that...she sed else Allaah will beat you up. :rollseyes
Well that is hadith, but I'm asking for medical reason. Whenever I sleep on my left side I feel my heart is under-pressure and discomfort. I mentioned in my answers to the questions in OP.
 
:sl:
your prob is likely musculoskeletal or digestive in origin...

people who have positional cardiac problems are likely pregnant women, in fact, we usually place them in the left lateral recumbent position on the account the gravid uterus presses on their major vessels (mainly the vena cava) and prevents blood from returning to the heart..

I can't assess anyone on the web... I think it is best you see your GP about this insha'Allah..
but I wouldn't worry about it---

I sometimes experience the above and I am not aware under which cirmustances, sometimes yes but sometimes it just happens. What should I vote? It's not often, neither rarely and not under stress or other known circumstances, yet sometimes it can be.
