i had something happen to me last night.  i had some panic attacks maybe 15 years ago when i purchased a condo on my own.

anyway - FF to now i had a cortisone shot thursday  to alleviate back pain.  the doctor injected two medications in my lower back.  i took a flexeril that night .

friday i morning i noticed some serious discomfort in my tailbone area. it got worse and i had already taken some vicodin and i was watching a movie "Still Alice". i took 1/2 a flexeril.

suddenly as i watched this movie and they were talking about brain activities and medical terms,  i felt like the walls were closing in,  i started seeing stars, could not breathe. i was in a recliner and i felt like i was falling backwards.

i felt so freaked out,  i had to get away!!!  got up from the chair wanting to lie on the cold floor and went to grab a big paper bag. instead i just fell and laid there on my back sort of moaning for a while. then i managed to crawl over,  get the paper bag and breathe into it..

after  a while i was ok and went to run my wrists under water. i was so shaken and my face was white as a sheet.

i think it was the combo of meds and the subject matter of the moviw becuase my Dad had ALZ.
