"Can anyone identify with migraine brought on by stress and seems to be like a massive panic attack that goes on for days sometimes. I can feel it when it starts to subside as it develops into waves of panic. It’s horrible. Lots of diarrhoea. "
Greetings- thank you so much for sharing how stress/anxiety and migraine can result in the feeling of a full-body panic attack. You are not alone in this. We have several resources on our site where contributors and community members have shared a similar experience: https://migraine.com/blog/migraine-and-anxiety-a-multi-faceted-relationship. And: https://migraine.com/video/lets-talk-about-panic-attack. It does sound like an awful experience in the way that it is prolonged and impacts your stomach as well. Are you working with a migraine specialist or doctor to help treat your migraine condition? This would definitely be worth discussing with a doctor to brainstorm ways to proactively treat these attacks when you feel them coming on and/or treat them once they are full-blown with rescue medications/strategies. We can send you some links for migraine specialists if you would like (migraine specialists are doctors who have received more specialized training in evaluating and treating migraine).
So grateful you shared about this- we are here for you to provide information, compassion, and support anytime.
Warmly - Holly (team member)
