I have never had a panic attack that was as bad as the one I had last night, It was terrifying.
Ok so I had to sleep downstairs last night on the sofa which I hate my bedroom is being redecorated, I fell asleep and woke up at around 1 or maybe earlier I dont know but I ran my hands through my hair as I was hot and wanted to put it up and it felt like my right arm had gone numb which set of my panic, my chest started hurting and I had a band of cold going through it and my arms went tingly and cold.
I felt like I was going to die, I couldnt see past it, I can always see to the other side of a panic attack and although I feel bad I know I will be ok in a little while but last night I couldnt do that.
I didnt feel like me all I felt was that my time was up and that I had to go to hospital, I ran upstairs and woke my mum up and asked her over and over to call 999 she didnt of course she could see that I was just having a PA but to me it felt more than that to me.
I felt dizzy and I couldnt breathe I thought I would pass out I just could not get enough air in my lungs.
I sat on my mums bed for about 15 minutes and she talked me through it and I calmed down and just cryed for ages, I have never felt like that before throughout the whole 10 years that I have had panic attacks and anxiety not even my first one felt like that.
Sorry I just wanted to unload and ask if anyone thinks it might be because I was on day 12 of citalopram and I have carried on taking it but do you think it might be because of that?
Any advice would be great, Thanks Hannah x x
