Hi everybody. Thought I would just share my experience with you all. I changed my job about three months ago doing something that I had done for 12 and a half years and then changing jobs to a career I have a passion for First Aid.
I travel all around the uk delivering courses in all aspects of first aid. I would say I am very confident person usually who has had a past of depression and anxiety. However several weeks into my job I started with dizzy spells whilst training, never thought much about them to begin with worried me a bit as I thought I might faint in front of up to 16 people.
As the weeks have one by i Have had several more episodes of this faint feeling, I know I won't faint as my pulse is so strong and heart seems to be bounding. Slowly I'm finding it difficult travel over the past week been having panic attacks and afraid to even walk around the supermarket or town on my own it's crazy.
Seen my GP this morning had a chat with him how I was feeling and he seems to think anxiety creeping back in again, im back on sertraline 50 mg to start with. My question to anybody reading this is are you a teacher/ trainer or had a job that's involved giving presentations and is this a symptom you have ever come across in your personal experience. I have had times in the past when I have tried to avoid supermarkets or busy areas because I feel my legs won't work and I'm floating and feel dizzy. M :shrug:
Thanks for reading
