:D I have had panic attacks since the mid 1980s, during the mid to late 80s they kind of went...now I have got them again!:)) I keep waking up in the middle of the night as though I am being smothered and can't breath,
I feel like I am about to die but after about 10 seconds, I come to my senses and then my heart starts racing, I then calm down and eventually go to sleep again...It is worried me to death... has anyone else had all this? I have spoke to my GP about it, but he just thinks I am just having anxiety attacks... but I say to him, what!! while I am asleep? surely not, and he just nods his head, yes it can be that yes... but I said, yeh, so? but it can also mean other terrible things? and that's as far as it has got.
I have had brain scans, that are normal thankfully, and I have even gone for CBT treatment at the mental health unit... that did me no good really either. I feel OK...but I did get odd feelings during the day, like as though I am missing out on something, or that I am anxious about something, but what I don't know. I have been on heart research programmes for 8 weeks and they did extensive tests on me and said all was fine... and yet I still get these terrible panic attacks.. if I was actually worried about something, then I could kind of understand it, but in the past when I have really been worried about something that is major in my life, I don't get panic attacks!!! it's when I *seem* to be at ease I get them.. am I actually going mad or insane:scared15:? I would be interested to know if anyone else on here has had what I keep getting.:byebye:
