Passing Out-|Panic Attack?

[Guest guest]

Evening Ray and Chris,

 

A young guy that works for me did the same thing. I say.... young as he is

in his

mid 30's. When in the middle of a presentation, he passed out.

 

You did not tell us your age. Often age will have a big effect when many

of us state ideas and opinions.

 

 

>If your doctor confirms this

>you may find some relaxation techniques useful.

 

Of course he will confirm it. When the doctor has not one clue and

cannot call it anything else, he calls it a " panic attack " .

 

Most of us should know that several hundred thousand disease names exist.

 

Many of them do not exist at all. The name is simply attached to a

specific symptom.

 

I have a young friend, 35 years old. He exercises regularly and can run a

mile in 8 minutes. He doctors says some of his odd symptoms are " panic

attacks " .

 

This guy is tough, weight 260 pounds, and consider the 8 minute mile.

 

I was talking with him a week or two ago. I told him no such thing exists

as a panic attack.

 

He has something seriously wrong with blood chemistry or the brain. Or.....

some of the regulating mechanisms. He definitely has no panic, no

fear, and no panic attack. He has a serious chemistry problem, .....

still NO PANIC.

 

The classic example of this " disease name " junk ....... is " flesh eating

bacteria " .

This one does not exist either.

 

Here is a short block relative to flesh eating bacteria.

-----------------

The latest research shows that this supposedly new disease may be caused by

taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofin, Aspirin,

Motrin and Tolectin when you are infected with a beta strep germ.

 

One study shows that 5 of 7 cases of flesh-eating bacteria occurred in

people who took these pain medicines. White blood cells called macrophages

produce a chemical called " tumor necrosis factor " , which travels to your

brain and causes your body to produce prostaglandins that cause fever and

shut off tumor necrosis factor.

Aspirin and nonsteroidal anti inflammatory drugs block the production of

prostaglandins, causing the white blood cells to keep on producing tumor

necrosis factor. This allows the bacteria to spread through the body,

dissolve tissue and even cause shock and death.

--------------

 

The fact that cells dissolve is not caused by " A Flesh Eating

Bacteria " . Any bacteria could produce this effect, when the body chemistry

has a major breakdown

in communications and cannot cope with the crisis.

Hi Chris and Wayne,

Thanks so much for your input. You asked how old I am. I'm 38, in excellent

shape, work out regularly and I'm fairly strong. I did see my regular doctor

today and after examing me and a few tests, he said not to worry that perhaps it

was due to stress or other similar factors.

I guess, you never know exactly what could cause such a thing. I'm more

inclined to think that it was a panic attack. What that means to me is that I

was experiencing an intolerable amount of stress that my body could not deal

with so my brain and my body had to shut down for 20 seconds. Who knows. It

could be as bad as you have indicated, Wayne. But, no worries.

Besides my slightly abnormal CD4/CD8 ratio, which is due to my being HIV

positive, I have no other abnormalities in my blood that my doctor could notice.

But, that doesn't mean that there isn't seeming wrong with my blood chemistry or

my brain.

I'm not a worrier in general and I never take life for granted. I'm quite

happy to have had the priviledge of having lived 38 years. Whenever the good

Lord decides that my time is up, I would have no regrets, no worries but I do

hope to live a very long and productive life.

I do seem as strong as a horse!! lol I never get sick (knock on wood), and

I'm completely unaffected by the common cold and the flu.

I guess, I'll continue doing what I can to prompt better health and I'll leave

it at that.

Thanks again for taking the time to write me.
