i have the symptoms of a panic attack and get them quite often but i always feel as if im in a dream?

You have a number of options.
1. The most popular (but damaging) option is to get drugs like Prozac. I suggest you read http://www.antidepressantsfacts.com/ first before taking this option. Many times drugs don’t work and people get trapped in the cycle of trying different mind-bending drugs for years, without relief.
2. If you have an issue or problem with a certain event or situation or person, see a therapist and work through it, learning new coping skills. If seeing a therapist isn’t an option, self-help books can help you to learn ways to cope with problems. Plus, there are many books on panic/anxiety and also a free online course that you take over a period of weeks at http://www.paniccenter.net
3. If you have irrational phobias in an otherwise balanced life, and can’t understand why you get anxiety/panic in a certain situation, try self-hypnosis-type programs like http://www.panic-anxiety.com
4. Calming herbs like valerian, kava-kava, chamomile or special formulas might help to take the edge off, but don’t seem to eliminate the problem completely. Be wary of expensive on-line herbal formulas that promise to eliminate anxiety/panic: you can easily get the same herbs at most drug stores for a fraction of the cost.
5. Exercises like tai chi or yoga (many libraries have DVDs you can rent) are helpful to calm the breathing and mind. You can do these, and other things like walking no matter what treatment you decide on.
6. If you feel you have a more or less balanced life without any major issues, yet you’re having both mental and physical symptoms, such as heart palpitations, anxiety, feeling weak, mood swings, confusion, etc. you could have a hormone imbalance, which would take blood or saliva tests to determine. If you have a hormone imbalance (NOT a chemical imbalance) no breathing exercises or hypnosis or self-talk is going to help- the physical imbalance is in the adrenals, thyroid, and cortisol levels. This is easily corrected with bio-identical hormones. Many doctors/insurance don’t deal with this, so you’ll need a specialist. http://www.womentowomen.com/depressionanxietyandmood/anxiety.asp

U should see a doc. they can evaluate and put u on meds to maintain the panic attacks

First you need to check you diet. Are you eating healthy? If not, get a multivitamin and start eating a well balanced diet. Alcohol, drugs, caffeine and nicotine can make anxiety worse. So, if you’re on any of this, please get off. I would definitely suggest going to a Phycologist office. Don’t go to a Psychiatrist! They will only prescribe you meds that you don’t need. You can get better. You just have to believe YOU are in control of YOURSELF!! http://rds.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0geusuUX51FCjgBdaJXNyoA;_ylu=X3oDMTE2NjVoN3BrBGNvbG8DZQRsA1dTMQRwb3MDNgRzZWMDc3IEdnRpZANGODQ3Xzkz/SIG=122i89rpr/EXP=1168027924/**http%3a//www.medicinenet.com/anxiety/article.htm
