I'm 34 and been havin these dreadful attacks since January I've always been a healthy person so they started it really knocked me for six I didn't have a clue what was wrong with me so when my doctor diagnosed me with anxiety and told me that what I was experiencing was panic attack I really thought she wasn't taking me serious, but the more I've looked into I realised that it is. I experience them more or less everyday the only thing that veries is the serverity. I thought once I knew what was wrong with me i would be able to get treated and put it behind me but after reading people's stories on this site I worry that this May be it for life every attack is as scary as the first and once one starts there is NO stopping it and most times they last for atleast an hour and half I feel terrible and terrified they are here for good.
