panic

[catangel]

Hi there,

Im new to the forum but as a suffere from panic attacks i would like some advice. Ive suffered with PA's for about 6 years on and off but they have not been as bad as they have been recently.

Recently i have begun to panic without warning and for no apparent reason. Even in cars, on the street which never happened before. They have been starting recently by just feeling really sick, and im so scared that its going to get worse that i just want to run away from the situation im in. ive had the usual other symptoms aswell such as dizziness etc. I just hate the fact that they happen even when im visiting friends or family, somewhere that i sohould feel relaxed!.

Has anyone else had these symptoms? and if so any advice on overcomming it? any response will be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks x

Hi, Welcome to the forum and am sorry you are going through a rough time at the moment.

I think the trick is not to run away from them and let them do their job. They will not harm you, but are just so painful.

Do you know why you had the panics in the first place?

Take Care,


Ray

Hi Cat

I had ongoing anxiety that manifested as a "phantom" heart condition and even when I was more-or-less convinced that I was healthy the PAs kept coming and I eventually went to the doc. I was prescribed dothiepin, which made me feel better from day 1. I also reduced my caffeine intake by 75% and believe that was a factor, if not a partial cause. Since then, my life has changed in that I became a "sleeper" - instead of lying awake half the night scared of dying.
