Hi! This is my first post, I have been reading lots of great posts before but now I really need to spill about me
I feel like I'm going mad. I started experiencing panic symptoms about 6 weeks ago but because I recognised them I was able to stop them before they fully developed. At the same time I was having really bad Anxiety which resulted in me having really bad pressure/tension headaches and an emergency trip to the Doctors on a Friday evening. After lots of blood tests and several trips back to the Doctor, I was diagnosed with Health Anxiety. I would point out that this episode was just before my period so not sure if there is a link.
As time progressed I felt better and had 3 weeks where I thought I had overcome the condition.
However, the reason I am posting here is because I now feel worse than I did before. Just before my last period I started to feel anxious and jittery but not sure why. I kind of expected it because I always feel rubbish around period time but I hoped it would pass after my period. No such luck!
I have had several unexpected out of the blue panic attacks and I now feel anxious all of the time waiting for another one. I had my first when shopping in the supermarket which was scary and then I had a monster one whilst walking my daughter to school. This included symptoms I hadn't had before, such as tingly hands and feet and heart palpitations, my legs felt really weak and I thought I was going to collapse.
I don't understand why I seem to be having random Panic Attacks now and why my anxiety appears to be hanging around. I just want to be able to feel 'normal' (if there is such a thing) again. I really feel stuck in this horrible nervous/anxious place and on the edge of panic most of the time.
Please help!
