Hi all
Having a really bad time right now, had really bad heartburn last night that bought on a panic attack, also had one today driving whilst mother in law was talking about a friend of hers who has cancer and is in hospital
... Just can't deal with anything at the moment.. I have low iron and BP and underactive thyroid doctor has upped thyroxine and I am taking iron supplements just wondered if the change of dose would cause panic and heart palpitations? Also on the left hand side of my throat it feels like there is a Rice Krispie stuck in my throat when I swallow or move my neck, I'm really focusing on it all the time and it's causing me to panic I have tried to look and also pushed my toothbrush down my throat to get rid of it but it's still there? I know I sound manic but it's just that my anxiety is so heightened night now it's like a panic attack is permanently looming....any ideas if the iron or change in thyroxine dose could cause heightened anxiety?
I am dreading Christmas I feel so low but anxious at the same time? I keep bursting into tears but then an hour later I'm having a panic attack?? I could probably deal with one or the other but having both anxiety and depression is draining... :(
