Answer 1

You feel like people are looking at you and talking about you. And you get very nervous and you r heart beats faster and you don't want to leave the house ,There was a case of this woman in my city who never left her house for 42 yrs .She would run to the mail box and run back in the house .It must be a terrible way to live.But now they have main different drugs u can take to feel normal .I don't know if pain has anything to do with it but I am no Doctor,

Answer 2

These are symptoms of post natal depression. It's normal..

Make an appointment with you GP, he will tell you how to  keep it under control. It's very common, you have nothing to worry about :)

Answer 3

YES

I'm no doctor but i have personally experienced panic attacks, they are certainly not fun. After it happens you feel exhausted as well as confused.

It could possibly be a mental or psychological thing

but there are ways to help yourself when it starts to occur

Answer 4

yes i have been though very same thing, avoid alcohol and walk plenty

Answer 5

no ..they key ingrediant you are lacking is extreem fear for no apparent reason..Flight or fight ..not exercise energy

Answer 6

Make sure you talk about this to your husband and don't keep it in.  Talk also to your GP and health visitor.  In the meantime Calomine tea is soothing.  It is very normal to be like this with a young baby as you are worried that if something happened to you who would look after your baby so it really is your mothering instincts doing this to you!  I bet when you are feeding your baby you feel very calm!  Take care.  I had a similar experience and it did go away after a few weeks.  Try not to over analyse the experience - sing  -  dance -  you can fool your body into thinking you are fine and then all of a sudden you are!!

Answer 7

You are a new mother. Relax!  You are up often at night.  Constantly on the go.  Your doctor's haven't found anything.  You are just nervous.  Everything should settle down in a couple of months.  If not, revisit the doctor.  Because you are having pain on part of your left and part of your right, I doubt it is a stroke or a heart attack.  Just nerves.  All new mothers go through this or something like it their first time.  :)
