View Full Version : Hi Everyone!
My name is Bal and I had my first panic attack in March last year. Their frequency has gradually increased over the year and the culmination was me spending Christmas admitted to a hospital ward (from A&E) 400 miles away from home and family. That was the scariest attack ever.
Since then, it's so weird..I'm fine in my own home..but as soon as I enter any Supermarket, shop, building, etc..the sensations start.
I must thank you all for helping me understand this predicament through this fantastic site!
I'd just like to share my feeling with others who are affected the same way.
I hope I can conquer this...

Hi Bal
A warm welcome aboard. Hope we can be of some help.
I assume the hospital gave you a clean bill of health?
Have you spoken to your GP about things and has he suggested some counselling or CBT?

Hi Bal,

Wow! Thanks everyone for such a lovely warm welcome. I still can't beleive that I've been suffering for the last 9 months, hyperventilating, going 'crazy' in public places, particularly supermarkets, and thinking the worst...
Nicola..Thank you so much for your support..I have been to the rapid access chest pain clinic..to eliminate any heart condition..all okay..when I was admitted recently they did a CT brain scan and 48 hour heart trace..all okay too... then I was seen by a respiratory physiotherapist who taught me how to breathe properly..from the belly..and to be honest, since christmas I have been able to avoid calling an ambulance as I am coping a lot better by breathing consciously. One thing I'd like to ask if anyone else feels this..is that my head always feels as though it has a tight band around it..I have searched on the internet for this symptom and it does point to anxiety but what I don't understand is that can you be anxious about something without knowing what it is? Aplogies if this post is long and if I've posted in the wrong place.
Andrea..Thank you ever so much for pointing me to the first step pages. Absolutely indispensable priceless information. This, for me, really is a mind thing. I really do beleive that a portal like this one will certainly help all us 'sufferers' to work towards conquering this 'thing'.
Hi,
