Hi everyone,
I'm really looking for advice.
I've had HA on and off for years, normally about once a year or so for a couple of weeks. Two months ago I had a seizure in response to some medication I was taking for sickness (Metaclopromide).. it was scary, and I was taken to A&E resus and pumped full of this anti-spasm drug (Procyclidine). I reacted to the procyclidine with horrendous panic attacks and extreme anxiety.. i couldn't even get off the sofa! When the dr told me to stop taking the procyclidine the anxiety and panics went away (I've never really had panic attacks before this point).
Anyway, since then, if I am tired and in a crowded place I have this god-awful fear of having an anaphalatic shock. Its worse when I know I can't get to a hospital. My throat tightens and I have a full on panic attack that I have to internalise (because i know i'm in a public place). Its awful. I feel like although my mind has mostly fixed itself following the procyclidine episode.. i still feel that there is something slightly scrambled in my brain...
why when i'm tired?
Why only when i'm in a public place?
