Hi guys,
This is the first big panic attack I've had since joining the forum a few days ago. I thought I'd take this opportunity to get some advice on getting through this more easily.
I feel like I am suffocating. The hot weather isn't helping in the slightest. I've spent the last 15 minutes on the verge of calling an ambulance. I feel like I can't breathe enough. I've gone super dizzy and feeling sick. I'm sipping away at my water but it's not easing up.
Normally my breathing isn't affected this badly during an attack, it's mainly the chest pains that get me. So obviously I'm panicking more, thinking "is my tongue swelling? I not long ago ate a peanut sandwich... I've eaten peanuts hundreds of times, but am I suddenly allergic?? Why can't I open my lungs all the way".
Now my heartbeat is going ten to the dozen.
I feel utter shit. Can someone please give me tips to try out. I'll try anything!
