Hi new here

[Elise]

Hi i'm Elise :)
I'm 17 and i had a few panic attacks whilst on holiday in Spain.
They were really scary, for a few days when i was back i would lay in bed all day and cry and was convinced i am dying. I gradually got better but the thoughts still stayed... The week after i thought i had a brain tumour, then my mum reassured me.. I had a panic attack one night and I could not breathe, i was crying and begging my mum to take me to A&E and she was very worried so did take me in the end. I had an esg ( sorry if thats wrong D: ) and was checked all over and everything was fine. I think i have accepted the anxiety but i get a lot of dizzy spells, and pain in my jaw today? which is new.. Lol, yes - i can get different feelings on different days. When the dizziness comes over me I am convinced i am going to drop dead - it happened about half an hour ago but i told myself i'd be fine. I keep telling my self that but i cannot deny that i am still scared.. SORRY THAT THIS IS SO LONG! i've dragged on a bit lol! But yeah hi :) does anybody feel the same way?

Hi Elise
Clearly you are not alone with this problem, loads of people have it :) Always remember a panic attack really can't hurt you and if things get worse or don't get better your Dr can prescribe medicines that will help. I would suggest you avoid medication if you can, your very young and hopefully this is just a part of you growing up and it will go away like it came.
All the best
