Hello everyone, i'm just getting used to how things work on this site, i did originally put this message in the wrong topic, sorry!
Firstly a bit about me. I had a small operation 18 months ago, using a local anaesethic and my BP dropped and i went 'funny', this in turn sent me into a full blown panic attack and since then i'm a different person. I can't do the things that i used to do, go places, don't want to work anymore or even leave the house most times. I was tried on Seroxat which they increased because i started feeling 'out of it' and then i didn't know who i was or where i was so it was stopped. My GP wasn't helping so i asked to be referred to a psychiatrist who has put me on Citalopram 10mg, which is doing nothing. I still have occasional panic attacks, i'm still 'unreal', which really scares me, i feel sad, hopeless, no energy, not knowing why we all bother to carry on - what is it all for, dizzyness all the time, although i have just found out that i have an angle problem with my neck which could cause a lot of this, i have tinitus and balance problems also and the most scary thing for me in this 'supposed' life at the moment is being too frightened to go anywhere and do anything because of my ectopics - missed heart beats - they terrify me. ECG's are ok, am waiting for 24 hour one with the cardiologist but have to wait months. Just feel like i've got something really nasty, probably in my brain and with my heart. Well, i'm so sorry to go on and on, but with me being new i thought i'd give you the low down. Thankyou for putting up with reading all this LONG LONG explaination. Cheers again.
