My Story

[KelJ]

I've been a nervous person since i was a child, I remember worrying alot about my health back then.

As the years have passed my health concerns have increased and have now turned into panic and anxiety and constant worries about myself and my loved ones dying.

I suffer with all the usual symptoms Breathlessness, racing heart, lightheadedness...etc

I suffer everyday and worry everyday over something new, I have no life and i'm afraid to do even the smallest of tasks for fear of having an attack and people finding out about my problems.

I have had these worries for about 12 years now and never told anyone, i live in my own world and feel very scared and alone and isolated.

I'm so desperate to be normal and happy, i feel like i've wasted alot of years.

Can someone help please, i have small children who are getting older i dont want them to see me like this.

Many Thanks

P.S Has anyone ever awoken suddenly with a strange sensation that your heart has stopped beating and you cant breath properly. Also a strange heavy sensation over your body and feeling a little woosey.

This is a new one for me, it's got me a little freaked!!

What has your doctor said, do try and find a sympathetic doctor who will listen and help. Have you tried CBT? There must be many in the NHS.
