[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 155357, member: 1697"] first, even in ER upon admission, sometimes ER staff cannot tell whether it is panic attack or cardiac issue. several times my mothers panic attacks landed her in ER with EKG hooked up. And panic attacks do not always need a trigger, they can come on without a trigger, which makes them even more frightening....my dtr now 19 has been haveing them for many many years, before age 12....and she sometimes gets hives from hers and her blood pressure shoots up to 200/110 and on occasion she has been unable to breathe becuz of them. - and has passed out from them, altho she gets most with no trigger. Her panic attacks began a little bit, tho not as intense when she was on Ritalin and Prozac, BUT....when she went on higher doses seroquel, her blood pressure joined in the event - and her blood pressure never went back down to "normal" altho she has been medication free entirely now for a few years. So, seems the Vyvanase could be causeing a cardiac problem, or you could have panic....do not discount either becuz of age. medications change things......Even if it is at same time every nite, it could still be medication related, possibly when the medications are wearing off? Or when they hit the system? or simply when difficult child NOTICES a different sensation.....Kids can keep themself busy enough even moderate discomfort is not too noticeable to them until they begin to wind down for the evening......and for an anxious child, whether it is due to something pyhsical or psychological.....they may be frightened b y the idea that somethng ""bad" might happen to them after everyone is asleep.
