Hi I have already posted what has happened to me on here and asked if anyone wanted to meet in the Glasgow area. I don't now what to do anymore, my attacks started just over a week ago, and I have had 8 attacks since when my heart races and many more when I get butterfies of a horrible kind and feel like my head is going to explode dizzy etc full of tension. I started a new college course on Saturday and was determind this was not going to stop me from attending, I went everything was going well then I could feel it starting I tried everything to keep my mind of it but I had a panic attack, luckily I got out of the room in time, the tutor and others were great, but it has really done my head in I am supose to be at college on another course tonight and tomorrow, but I am not going as I can't face it. I find my panic is alot worse when I am around people, I went to asda late last night so it would be quite but I could feel it happening again, luckily got my mind of it and all was ok. Back to the doctors this morning and they have put me on diazepam 5mg and citalopram 20mg, I am also taking bach rescue remedy and b-50 vitamin b-complex, the vitamin b as I read on here afew people have recomeneded it and the bach rescue remedy as someone in boots said its good. So quite a cocktail, I hate taking tablets but feel I have no choice as I can't handle what is happening to me, it has ruined the last week of my life, I am supose to be starting my own business in Feb and am now supose to be preparing for it but no chance as I don't even want to leave the house. When the tension starts to get worse in my head I really try to fight it but it doesn't make any difference, I have tried to keep calm even thou its the most scariest thing that has ever happened to me. I don't know what to do, I am going to a stress managment course in a couple of weeks but I am worried that I will find it hard to leave the house to go. Also its a group meeting whihc means I have to be in a room with loads of strangers, which before this happened wouldn't of bothered me in the slightest. Has anyone any ideas or suggestions on what I should do as I can't take much more of this, I feel like I am going crazy, when I walk down the street it feels like its no me walking, my head has all the time got a feeling of pressure build up in it, but it gets to the point that it is really painfull. Please any suggestions would be helpfull. Thanks Heidi.
