I have for a couple of months been haveing panic attacks. Couple of them really bad. Not really knowing if this is somethig really physcial wrong or anxiety. Now they are coming more frequent. I am 50 years old And pre-meapause. Had one yesterday and today. I also have Mitral Valve, and heard this sometimes causes panic attacks. Either or both. Could this possibably have ANYTHING to do with it. ANYBODY????

Actually, pre-menopause causes hormone imbalance, that could lead you to high and low. My friend, who is going through pre-menopause suffered from panic attack as well, but it will be temporary.

If you can't stand it, you may want to try hormone therapy, it will get you thru your menopause easily but can increase the risk of breast cancer.

Panic attacks are frightening but fortunately physically harmless episodes. They can occur at random or after a person is exposed to various events that may trigger panic attack.They peak in intensity very rapidly and go away with or without medical help.
People experiencing panic attacks may fear they are dying, that they are suffocating, or that they are having a heart attack.About 5% of the population will experience panic attacks during their lifetimes. People who have repeated attacks require further evaluation from a mental health professional. Panic attacks can indicate the presence of panic disorder, depression, or other forms of anxiety-based illnesses.
