Hi All
i am just after some help with regards to questions about the way i have been treated by the doc
it started over 3 weeks ago now i ended up in a&e having a panic attack and was checked out and told its just a panic attack then in the morning i felt better so didnt go to docs then 2 days later i felt realy bad and phoned out of ours doc with server palps he said i cant give you anything till you go a&e and have ecg i left it for about an hour but couldnt take it no no more and then went to a&e and told them what out of hour doc had said anywhay had all tests kept me there waiting all night just to tell me it was panic attack dont need to do anything about it just try to relax proporanol useally but as you have asthma you cant take them go and see your gp later as this was 5 in the morning
i went to see the doc the next morning i only see this doc as she was the one i originaly see in sept when i had the first panic attack and she sent me to see cardiologist and because i still had the tests to wait for because the hospital hadent bothered sending me appointments for heart scan and 24hr ecg so i thought i would see her as she was dealing with the situation any way she said well we prescribe anti depresants for panic attacks ok i said well im reluctatnt to take them cant i try anything else ok i was going to try kalms well what else can i do she said heres the phone number for mind give them a call and that was it i left without a prescription as i didnt want to be on anti depresants for panic attacks
i phoned the number for mind and never got an answer all the times i called
well it got to the end of the week and i thought icant cope all weekend tried to get an appointment but no there wasnt any so i asked if the doctor could call me she did i agreed over the phone as i was worried about the weekend i would take the tablets as i had no help from no one and said mind wouldnt answer the phone she said well you have to leave a message and the tablets wont work straight away
i got the prescription and come straight home and looked up the side affects and wham first and fore most increases anxiety well thats it i cant take them after seing on here as it goes i was sufferimg from g/a and not constant panic attacks as i first thoght i had never heard of people having g/a before so i nver knew it exsisted and not once did anyone from the medical profession tell me about it eaither !!!! even after i had described all my symptoms
i phoned mind and left a message
i have since been into the local mind wellbeing centre and was told by a very helpfull gentlman to go home and go on the mind website and do a self refural for talking therapys which i did on the monday after
on the wed i got a call back from the message i left before i went into the mind wb/c and he said to call the west essex mind where i had filled in my online refural and see what i could find out i called them on the friday and the lady said well it hasnt been asses yet so i asked what i could do to get some help she said well let me look at your form and she said well if you didnt put that you felt suicidal its not urgent but if that changes call us again urmmmm i know if someones suicidal it is urgent but just because im not doesnt mean im not suffering the same issues of anxiety
any way im going to see the doc on monday and feel like i realy want to have a go at her for the lack of care and guidance i have received on this matter and demand that she helps me more with trying to get some cbt or other guidance
anyone else had similar experinces and got any tips i am determined i dont waht to take any meds so why should my case be any different to someone who is takeing meds i always suffer the worst side effects from any i take so all i take is blood presure meds
sorry about the long rant but just want some tips from any of you people as i know how helpfull you all are and have been to me so far
