I'm slumped on the sofa now. Just had a horrible panic attack whilst walking my dog - that's never happened before. Would someone mind reading through this ?
Been having panic now for a few months, it was worst at Christmas (I called out a paramedic on Christmas night).
Since New Year I have been walking everyday without fail, just for half an hour, watching what I am eating (lost 5 lbs) and have been feeling better. Still niggling anxiety but it felt under control.
By the way, I have had numerous checks at the drs and have a clean bill of health, healthy heart etc.
I had a slightly longer walk today and it was harder work as uphill. Of course, I was breathing harder and I guess I went into hyperventilation ? It was dreadful, we were still a way away from home and I had no choice but to carry on. Couldn't calm myself down at all.
It *did* subside after some minutes but I am still shaky now. Doing my breathing ... am so sick of this !
Also, I have had a bit of a stressful morning as my carers allowance wasn't paid and I was relying on it (my daughter is disabled). Was on the phone to them at 8 this morning and we were late for school. Am upset and worried about money right now.
Thanks for reading this, any thoughts ? :weep:
