Hi Guys,
Have a few questions that maybe someone can help me with, a few months ago I believe I had a panic attack or was extremely anxious. My son was having an operation and I was worrying about it a lot. Then at work one day I was just sitting at my desk, I felt my heart racing and became very hot. I went to the docs and he signed me off with anxiety for a week or two. NB on the day of sons operation i felt no panic at all, It went well and not had anything since.
Now, we are going on holiday in 3 weeks my wife 19 month old son and 5 year old daughter. I have flown all over the world, and been on many flights both long haul and short. Yet I'm really worried about this flight, I have no fear of flying at all, I think it maybe in case i have one of these episodes on the plane.
I genuinely have no idea what I'm worried about. But it's there
Anyway I went to the doctors yesterday and explained the situation and she prescribed me some beta blockers, will these help with the flight. When should I start taking them ?
My wife seems to think its when I know I will have no control over my children safety perhaps ?
Can anyone give me any advice or help on beta blockers, writing this I don't feel anxious at all, maybe its just the build up to an event ? (very similar to my sons op, worried all the way, on the day was fine)
Thanks for any help or advice
Kind regards
James
