Anxiety Attacks After Miscarriage

Hi y’all new here sadly!
Just a little back story will try to keep it short.
Got my BFP 1/1/18 was so excited for the new year surprise! I went to the dr 2 weeks later and I was measuring a week behind with no heartbeat yet. They said that I probably just ovulated late and to come back a week later for another ultrasound and blood draw to check my levels!
Week later they did the ultrasound and no growth and still no heartbeat. My blood draw from day showed my levels were dropping so they told me to prepare for my miscarriage at home.
Well 2/14 Valentine’s Day of all days I had my miscarriage at 10 weeks. It was horrible and did not expect it to feel like contractions and actual labor
Ok so now if you have gotten this far thank you! This morning I was getting ready to leave for work and my chest started tightening and I could not catch my breath. I honestly had never been more scared in my life and thought I was having a heart attack. I txt my husband to come home from work because I was so scared something was going to happen with me home by self with our 2 sons. He took me to the dr and turns out I was having a really bad anxiety attack. Has anyone else had experience with anxiety attack’s after a miscarriage? I’m terrified when we start trying again it will keep happening.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I never got to post on my birth month page. Glad to have a place to post.

Re: Anxiety Attacks After Miscarriage
I think the dropping hCG really exacerbates an already terrible situation. Right now you need time to grieve. Consider asking your dr for some meds to help you through and also consider counseling if you think it will help you.
Good luck, and welcome. I’m sorry you’re here but talking about it with others who understand has really helped me.
