Hello,

This is my first post ever to any forum. I am seeking for help and advice as i am completely mystified by what has happened to me.
About 2 years ago, suddenly after many years of running on treadmills religously, I started to develope anxiety attacks as soon i would start up. So severe that i would nearly fall off trying to get off and completely lose my balance and composure.
This would become less severe and then start again, now I don't get on treadmills anymore and it's really depressing me as i loved it so much. I am fed up with not knowing what has caused this. At first I thought it was vestibular neuronitis but i don't have vomiting or nausea, and don't think it's medical as i have no other serious issues, just pure loss of balance and panic that I MUST jump off.
Also, now sometimes I get panicky going down on escalators and have to use the stairs.
I have been thinking of accupuncture or hypnosis.
I hope i can get some answers and insight.
Many thanks

Hey,

With my panic attacks, in a shopping mall or something i cannot go down the stairs,up the stairs or the esclators without holding on to someone because i just go so dizzy and feel like im going to fall! I hate it, i have to hold on to one of my family members or friends because i go all dizzy, i will not ever go on these when i am by myself as i will just avoid the places that have these :( x
