Well, on Thursday, it started out like my days have usually been going. I have a fucked up sleep schedule, so I always wake up in the middle of the night sometimes breathing heavy with a feeling of anxiety. Sometimes I'll get paralyzed in my sleep and realize it and be half awake, but there will be nothing I can do about it until I somehow jolt myself out of it. Anyways, so I get out of bed, shower, and go to school early, around 10:30. I get there, bust out a database final project with my buddy, and eat something around 12 before my first class starts, because I'm starving. Our tradition is to shotgun a monster of our choice before our NOS1 tests because somehow we always get A's when we do that. So we both do that, I smoke about 3-5 cigarettes, and the day begins. I get an A on all of the NOS1 finals (97 percent, such a joke of a class) and we both finish the test about an hour and a half before class ended. So in total, took us about 20 minutes for a final. We go outside, shoot some hoops for a while, and I come in incredibly dehydrated, or so it feels that way. I get a drink, and by then I'm sweating balls, and then go back up stairs to my next class because we had to sit there for an hour to get credit on our final project. So this drink has B vitamins as well, and I just finished puffing another cigarette, so my heart is livid. It's beating so fast I can feel it through my chest. I take a few drinks of my new drink because I think I'm just really thirsty when I notice I'm getting short of breath. So I sit there and wait for it to wear off, but it doesn't, so I get up to try and walk it off. I start talking to people about trivial bullshit and converse with people I never talk to in attempt to wear off what was happening to me. Didn't work. So I tell my teacher something's wrong, so I was going to head down to the nurse. By then, I started getting dizzy. So I start walking down the ramp on the 6th floor to the 5th when I run into the nurse, and by then, my whole body was starting to go nuts. She pulls a desk out from a classroom and I sit down fast and put my head down. I start to lose vision, I'm freaking out like crazy. My whole chest is numb and by then it's like breathing from a straw. I tell her I think I'm having a heart attack because initially I thought that's what it was. She starts trying to say shit to me but I can't really understand what she's saying. They put me in a wheel chair and take me down to the nurses room and lay me down. I was at my worst point, here. I couldn't see shit, I couldn't feel anything, I couldn't move anything, and I couldn't talk. Worst of all, I couldn't breathe. They shove an oxygen mask on my face and the paramedics were already on their way. The flow of oxygen caused the CO2 balance to tip, making my body feel like it was getting stabbed with thousands of needles. At this point, I'm pretty much passed out. I can remember them putting me on the stretcher and into the ambulance, and out of there. Then I got an IV and some Valium, mmmhmm. I laid there for about 3 hours, got some X Rays and a few tests ran, and got a heart monitor so they can read my heart beat for 24 hours. I'm pretty much back to normal now other than the inability to breathe normally (I feel like I've smoked a pack a day for 40 years). Anyways, basically, here's what contributed to my severe 'panic attack': 1. Energy Drinks 2. Cigarettes (a lot). 3. Drinking (I drank a lot that previous weekend). 4. Lack of sleep 5. Panics in my sleep 6. GAD (General Anxiety Disorder) 7. Weed (Don't smoke a lot, but it gets the heart rate high). 8. Bad sugar diet, and high sodium intake. Basically, I'm eating all healthy for a long time in order for my body to go back to normal, so to speak. This consists of almost sugar free everything. Natural Peanut Butter, Wheat bread, unflavored oatmeal, Cheerios, the whole 9 yards. Try eating this shit for two straight days while drinking nothing but milk in your Cheerios and water. Anyways, avoid what you drink and eat, especially energy drinks, because they'll fuck your shit up if you drink them like I did. Alcohol + Energy Drinks + Packs and packs of cigarettes + high sugar and sodium intake = certain high speed heart rate. Shit, I was like Crank 2 with all that. |

Sounds like you need to lay off of Smoking as well, Knight. And just milk and cherrorios? Am I missing something here. That's all I put in mine. Eating well is the way to enlightenment. |

What you described about your sleep is called Sleep Paralysis. It is a common sleep disorder that causes your body to be as you described it, frozen. I dunno what causes it but I know it is the worst thing on earth when paired with Night Terrors. Sounds to me like the caffeine plus nicotine plus exercise plus not a lot of sleep = you felt heart palpitations and you essentially fainted. Get more sleep and don't overload your heart at once and in my 16 year old self-taught medical opinion, be fine | ||
