Normally my panic attacks only last a relatively short period, but last year after a big one my heart rate wouldn't slow down for a couple of weeks, the top of my head felt like it had vanished and I had a constant 'floaty' feeling.
My husband booked me in for a reflexology session that was supposed to be an hour long, and during it not only did my heart rate slow but for the first time I felt real again - and the top of my head felt like it was back !
The reflexologist was a bit of a crazy hippy, but excellent at what she did - she even did an extra half hour for free as she said that I seemed so strung out that I clearly needed it !
The main thing was her holding both of my feet quite firmly and putting pressure on the part of the foot that corresponds to the solar plexus in a slow rhythmic pulse beat. (I think it was somewhere in the middle top of each foot).
When I got home I had my first proper sleep in ages.
