Panic Attacks

Throwing me under the bus, but in that thread, you thanked me for my posts?

If I misunderstood the direction of your statement, I apologize. Been a long day.

 

OK, now I'm not educated. I could hold a doctorate and it still wouldn't matter when you're debating with someone who would argue with a fencepost. You're making no sense, but that's ok. Be safe.

 

Sorry, I tried to answer sooner but my PC decided to freeze up?
You misunderstood me, apology accepted. I was trying to point out how many on here agreed with you. Including me.

So now you see what I was meaning by bringing that thread to your attention....Sorry, but I think if you have a problem that can or may distract you from driving safely 100% of the time, then you shouldn't be driving trucks.
Flame suit is on now...

Descriptions
Sufferers of panic attacks often report a fear or sense of dying, "going crazy," or experiencing a heart attack or "flashing vision," feeling faint or nauseated, a numb sensation throughout the body, heavy breathing (and almost always, hyperventilation), or losing control of themselves. Some people also suffer from tunnel vision, mostly due to blood flow leaving the head to more critical parts of the body in defense. These feelings may provoke a strong urge to escape or flee the place where the attack began (a consequence of the sympathetic "fight-or-flight response") in which the hormone which causes this response is released in significant amounts. This response floods the body with hormones, particularly epinephrine (adrenaline), that aid it in defending against harm.[3]
A panic attack is a response of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS). The most common symptoms may include trembling, dyspnea (shortness of breath), heart palpitations, chest pain (or chest tightness), hot flashes, cold flashes, burning sensations (particularly in the facial or neck area), sweating, nausea, dizziness (or slight vertigo), light-headedness, hyperventilation, paresthesias (tingling sensations), sensations of choking or smothering, difficulty moving and derealization. These physical symptoms are interpreted with alarm in people prone to panic attacks. This results in increased anxiety, and forms a positive feedback loop.[7]
Often the onset of shortness of breath and chest pain are the predominant symptoms; the sufferer incorrectly appraises this as a sign or symptom of a heart attack. This can result in the person experiencing a panic attack seeking treatment in an emergency room.
Panic attacks are distinguished from other forms of anxiety by their intensity and their sudden, episodic nature.[3] They are often experienced in conjunction with anxiety disorders and other psychological conditions, although panic attacks are not usually indicative of a mental disorder.

 

Maybe 2 went quite because of the time of day? We will see what tomorrow brings.

Are you referring to me as one of the ones that don't know anything & went nuts, because of 2 posts ? Then your wrong, because I am understanding & I'm sorry that you have that disorder. But with what I have read & understand about it, then I don't think you should be allowed to drive semi trucks. I think the FMCSA agrees with this also.

PS: don't kill the handyman

 

Besides all the hoop-a-la about weather you should or shouldn't drive, I do agree it probably helps to talk to others about it.
