Anxiety After Migraines

A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭
Bristow, OK

Has anyone ever experienced an anxiety attack right after having a migraine. I’ve never had that happen before until last week, and now every time I get a migraine I’m afraid that I’ll end up getting an anxiety attack too.

I have anxiety after my migraine attack with severe vertigo because I am so afraid of having another one. I too am in FL and the weather seems to contribute to my migraines.

I actually have an anxiety attack as a precursor to a miagrane. Many of my triggers are weather related. In Florida it can be beautiful one minute and rainy and. Storming the next over near by. I will suddenly get the scariest feeling in my gut. I am a nervous wreck. Muscles tighten up. And suddenly the lightning alert goes off. So weird. But everyone in my family has seen it happen.

Please take it from someone who has suffered from agoraphobia since her teens: If you become afraid that you will suffer another attack, you are setting yourself up to actually have another attack! Try to relax and not expect another panic attack. It could very well have been a one-time event. I became so bad I couldn't leave my house for a year. A lot of therapy later, I have learned to control them. But, I am 72 now! I still have panic attacks, I just breathe through them. Sometimes I have to leave a situation, but not like before. I wish you many happy years of no attacks. But, if they do continue, please seek help. I didn't and suffered needlessly for too long. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
