HadIt.com Elder Pete53 Posted October 4, 2008 Author HadIt.com Elder Share Posted October 4, 2008 I think it was a panic attack The VA says that blood stopped going to my brain and I passed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berta Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 God I almost missed this post- I am so glad you are OK now Pete- this is scary- "Meds I take daily but did not get in VA" Is the VA fully aware of all of those meds? Is it possible something they gave you is contraindicated by other meds you take- or might have taken just before this ER visit? Do you have a copy of the PDR -or Merck-actually it is all on line too- if I were you I sure would check over the meds you are on- some of it is powerful stuff- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HadIt.com Elder evandc Posted October 4, 2008 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted October 4, 2008 Pete, Take care of yourself. I missed you & didn't know why you were not on Hadit for few days. I had a Panic Attack at Dentist when they did impressions. It was not fun. Take care, Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder Pete53 Posted October 4, 2008 Author HadIt.com Elder Share Posted October 4, 2008 The VA provides me with over 30 prescriptions. One of them requires me to take once a week and the others are daily. I try to keep up with them but it is not easy. I get a little panicky when I forget to take a med but two days really got me going. I know I am addicted to xanax I have taken 4 a day at 1 mg since 1991. I also worry about messing with my medications as I never want to feel like I did in 1991 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
