Hey guys, new here.
I had my first ever panic attack in the summer after cracking my neck on the middle of the night (giving me a huge adrenaline rush according to the hospital the next day). Months later (middle of October) I had my second attack whilst getting into bed at night which lasted about 10 minutes. Third attack happened last week, felt like a full on heart attack, I was on my own so called 999.. Was taken to hospital via ambulance, they did a blood test and monitored my heart for a few hours before giving me the all clear.
Since the third attack I have had one or two attacks daily and am constantly on edge. Heart palpitations, cold flushes on my chest, sharp jabbing pains where my heart is, headaches, shaking.. The works.
This is all completely new to me, I understand most of my daily panic attacks most probably anticipatory attacks from over thinking and worrying. But the attacks are getting bigger and badder. I've started using a little bach's rescue remedy which helps at the first sign of an attack but will just make it worse if I'm too far "in".
Anxiety and panic is BOO.
