Hey there

[Burt42]

Hey everybody!:) My name is Burt. I'm 24 years old. I have been battling panic attacks and general anxiety my whole life. I believe it is partly hereditary as my dad and grandad had the same issues. Most of the time i can keep it at bay with meditation and yoga but lately I've been having digestive problems which cause me to have chest pains.... needless to say that hurls me into a classic "im going to die now" situation. Sometimes the pain radiates through my arms and back which really gets me into a nice cocoon of self doubt and paranoia.
I used to take rescue remedy and theanine to ease my symptoms but that stuff is expensive.
Mainly I am joining this site for moral support and also to lend my extensive knowledge on the subject of panic to a larger audience.
