Is this anxiety?

lately, from the past couple months, there have been many different occasions of myself feeling very nervous, heart racing, body tingling, scared, feeling like im %26quot;losing it%26quot; or going to die, and every so often these feelings come outta know where. for instance, about a month ago...while laying in bed one night, in my mind for some strange reason i was totally convinced i was not going to wake up the next morning if i was to fall asleep. this really sounds crazy and its starting to freak me out. i had the same episode a few nights ago again. i felt like something was going to happen. i really wanna laugh at all this, but really i wanna know whats going on with me! ive been noticing and rethinking of how i am with certain situations. like if something doesnt go right ..ex: like when my husband doesnt take his shoes off when entering our 17 month girl%26#039;s room, i really get nervous and anxious. why does this bug me so much? probably cause his shoes are dirty (which is a normal reasoning)..

but for me, lately stuff like that really makes me nervous. i guess i look back, and recall many incidents where ive had panic attacks over something so minor. but that was when i was a child. can anxiety/panic attacks stir up again later down the road? im 24 year old female with a 17 month (first). even the other day, my older sister just had a baby...im so happy for her and my new nephew, but again...on the way there my heart started racing and i was getting nervous as if i were about to say a speech in front of the whole world! im gonna be calling my dr tomorrow cause this is starting to bug me. but i guess i was just wondering anyone who has felt this way or what not your opinions. is this anxiety? if so, will i be put on some sort of medication (if i have to, thats fine!)..what do they prescribe for symtoms like this? ive been researching the web and found some info, but again, just curious to hear what you all have to say. please be respectful, im already confused myself. thanks!

Is this anxiety?
It does sound like anxiety. For that, they%26#039;ll prescribe something like xanax or seroquil (sp?) on an as needed basis... like, when you feel anxiety coming on, you take one and it%26#039;ll calm you down. I%26#039;ve heard they%26#039;re addictive though. If you%26#039;re having depression also, they might prescribe something like lexapro or welbutren, or prozac, something like that, an antidepressant. Most of these can cause a little weight gain but it%26#039;s not likely.
Reply:yes, you are having panic attacks,see your doctor and go over your attacks with him/her,there are several medications that can be used to help with your problem.hope you feel better soon.
Reply:your assumptions are correct and you should see a doc for meds
Reply:That definitely sounds like anxiety, and yeah, panic attacks CAN come back down the road. It%26#039;s not crazy to think you won%26#039;t wake up if you go to sleep; both fear of dying and being crazy are symptoms of panic attacks. If it%26#039;s bothering you, which it seems like it is, it definitely needs to be looked at. The doctors can%26#039;t PUT you on medication, but if it%26#039;s causing you a lot of trouble, they%26#039;ll probably recommend it, although medication shouldn%26#039;t really be used in replacement of therapy or something, just until you feel like you can manage the symptoms on your own. If they do give it to you, they%26#039;ll probably recommend some sort of antidepressant, maybe an SSRI. I hope this helped.
