David from Devon here. I'm going through a really bad patch at the moment. It started with realising a few weeks ago that I'd lost weight, about 6/7 pounds. I've always been about 11st 3lb for years so this really threw me of balance. This plus plenty of stress started a bout of daily panic attacks.
It got so bad last week, I visited my GP who prescribed 80mg Propanolol slow release. I've taken these most days but to be honest I still get the shakes pretty much all day long. I've also lost my appetite completely in the last couple of weeks and have to force food down each day.
I have a history of panic attacks which started in my early 20's when my dad died. Since then, I've suffered from bouts lasting a few days to several weeks. There's no doubt though that the current bouts are the worst yet. I'm lucky enough to be self-employed but running a one-man Internet business can be a lonely experience.
Any tips to help me through this would be much appreciated.
