got sent here from /AskDocs. i'm 18F and i had a really bad panic attack yesterday that i went to the emergency room. they check my lungs and heart and everything was fine, it was just really bad anxiety. they injected me with some ativan and sent me on my way

since then i've been thinking nonstop about death/my death anxiety, which i'm slowly trying to get over. i thought the ativan still had effect but apparently it's just anxiety, thank goodness. i have a pretty dry mouth and had no appetite up until about 4 hours ago. i ate some chips and was fine. but then about an hour ago i tried eating dinner and it felt so bad and weird. i had no appetite and the food felt really weird on my tongue and i had trouble swallowing and i have some dry mouth too. i also keep needing to go to the bathroom but whenever i try i cant poop/pee only a little. i know it's just anxiety mixed with the ativan wearing off but does anyone else get symptoms like this? i'm kinda freaked out. i've never had them this bad before. my eyes feel kinda weird too and i had a headache a couple hours ago but i don't know if that's related. 

i keep cycling through this routine of feeling fine, making myself have mini anxiety attacks, then calm down again. my mom scheduled an appointment with a therapist and i'm seriously considering going on meds for anxiety. 

does anyone else get symptoms like this too? how do i stop sending myself into mini anxiety attacks? does anyone have advice on how to calm down from these anxiety attacks other than grounding or breathing? also does anyone know of meds i should ask to try out? i really don't like how the ativan made me feel and breathing slow freaks me out and i don't like SSRIs. 

sorry i'm asking so much, i'm still kinda shaken and freaked out but i'm trying to calm myself down. anything would be appreciated. thanks
