Hi , i have had repeated panic attacks during sex . Should i avoid making sex from now on ? This is the question .

I have no answer for this. That seems like a personal choice. I know some people have panic attacks when they exercise. The heart beat acceleration sets them off. Maybe you need to slow down!

Don't quit having sex!!!!!!!!!! This used to happen to me all the time. When you are done, just take a few deep breathes and try to relax. It's just your heart beating hard! Not really panic. Just try to remind yourself it is because of a good thing.

LOL Silly! I was going to say the same thing.

I've had a few attacks during sex but like Silly said, slow down a bit. It helps. Start off really slow and just stay that way for awhile until you feel like you won't have an attack. Then gradually work your way up from there. If you just jump into it, chances are all of the excitement will stir your panic.

I had a big problem with this for a while.

My body was extremely weak from the anemia and I may really not have been strong enough for sex.

I really questioned whether I could have an adverse reaction due to everything I was going through physically.

Several things were going on and it was weird or felt weird.

The stimulation seemed like too much for my body and it would feel as if it would stimulate my heart in a weird way like start beating off kilter. Also I was getting a weird disassociating feeling after where I felt really out of it sleepy and not fully conscious. I felt out of control and like I was going to slip into some kind of coma.

So while this was going on I dreaded sex.

Now that I am healthier no longer so anemic most of that has gone so maybe I was just too weak for it.

Too sick?

I don't know.

I would not think to yourself that you can never have sex again.

If you want to take a break and try when you are feeling a bit better maybe that is a solution.

For me it felt like all my nerves were connected and the stimulation to one was messing with the natural nerve action of my heart.

No because it uses up the extra adrenaline and then gives you a release of endorphines.

How can i slow down when she is pushing me to go faster and harder?!

Some of the symptoms just mimic a panic attack just tell urself it isnt one. ur just feelin RANDY. hehe and HELL NO DONT GIVE UP SEX. soldier on man.feel the fear and do her anyway hehe mwuahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

NO...i would not avoid making sex.....or even having sex from now on !!!!

If u stop having sex i am gonna just give up now. it has been yearssssssssssss since i have. is it still the same? anything new? if u stop i just gonna crawl in ball in bed and sleep forever.
