Hi All,

I woke up this morning with a headache - all over tension and a bit of throbbing. ............so I took a nurofen and then layed down for 20 mins hoping it would pass.............it eased so I got up and sat down at the computer and then bammm.................I went tight in the chest, blury eyed and my heart started racing but worst of all was this rush that was hot and tingly that went from my stomach to my scalp...............very scary. I think I have had this before but not for long time............can anyone relate to this as being a common panic attack feeling?

I feel ok now - just shakey and apprehensive................it was so scarey at the time and I tried to let it wash over me - but it was so hard.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Sharon
I find I can't take nurofen as it triggers anxiety in me. I just use Panadol
