Just wondering can you Trace back to a date or event that you believe was the rott cause for your Anxiety/Panic Attacks.
I can trace back to a few times in my life that my problams started but one day stands out more that others.
I had been out for a drink at the beginning of february 2011 and was chatting to a few people (about drink spiking of all things alot of it had been happening in my local) I must admit I had never met before anyway I went toilet and returned and the people I was chatting to had left so I continued having my drink but about 10 mins later I started to feel really weird/wired spaced out sweating and really drunk only had half a pint really strange.
Anyway made it home was like I was drunk. So sleeped alot of that day.
But next day my wife had to go hospital so it was a early start for me out of bed 6am but I felt really bad.
My left side of my body was like it was still alseep felt heavy and my head was all over the place felt (felf really hungover) chest pain felt like a heavey weight on my chest and shoulder and arm pain and felt queasy , I was sweating and just wanted to do was sleep (hard to do when looking after a 2 year old).
Well felt like this for about 3-4 hours then the wife returned and I managed some lunch and then this wife popped upstairs to have a kip but then all off a sudden I started to feel really ill again chest pains (feeling really heavy in the chest) running down my arm could hardly stand up felt really sick and was about to pass out, So was able to call to the wife and she phoned my doctor who in turn phoned 999 and I was rushed into hospital in the amburlance my BP was 230/156 and pulse rate of around 160 (but the ecg was not reading anything abnormal).
Anyway stayed in hospital for 8 hours had all the tests done several ecg's all Fine, Chest x-ray Fine, Blood enzyme studie done That showed no damage to the heart.
So was discharged from the a&e at 10pm and that was that.
My doctors put it down to a major Panic Attack, But that still haunts me to this day, I have been rushed back into hopital once more and it was the same outcome, All tests ok. Have had two stress treadmill tests They were ok. I did ask months after if my drink may of been spiked but I was told it would not have had a lasting effect like that ie: causing a Panic Disorder.
But that is were I can trace it all back too, their have been things that have happened up until that day which could have had a factor in it all but that was the first time anyone have every put it down to Panic Attacks.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can use this to my advantage to combat what is happening to me and hopefull helps other at the same time.
I know This is a question we are all looking to be answered ie: what was or is the trigger
It is just that it feels like I am running out of ideas to explain it all
