What a beautiful day in the UK today - how are you feeling? Enjoying the sunshine?
I have just returned from a lovely relaxing holiday abroad. A weird thing happened on the plane journey back - a woman a few rows in front of me had a panic attack which started shortly after we took off and didn't finish until we landed. I watched as the air hostesses rushed around fetching her water and attempting to calm her down, thinking that this was me a few years ago. Incidentally I have a virus at the moment, and I spent the whole flight with my heart skipping beats every few beats (viruses affect my palpitations for some reason). I thought to myself 'good job I don't have HA anymore as I don't think the air hostesses could have coped with 2 major panic attacks on one journey'. :)
Anyway, it's good to be back and just wanted to see how everyone was doing. If you're feeling down, just remember that health anxiety can be overcome and you can lead a normal life again.
