Hi all
I'm Sam, I'm 32 and living in South Wales......ive been suffering with panic attacks since I was 15 years old but they have recently come back the last few years since I started suffering from labyrinthitis - its not helped that they both trigger each other and make each other worse.
Also not helped by the fact I am full of cold and having palpitations at the minute - joy!
Anyway like I said I have suffered with anxiety since I was 15, I was given propanalol which I never took, and then temazipan which I took one dose of and it knocked me.out for over 14 hours and my mum asked me not to take it again.
My list of symptoms for my attacks has varied over the years - I started as the horrible body tremors, palpitations, nausea, dry throat and feeling of dread....it then got manageable for a long time but recently has come back as dizziness, heaviness in my limbs, hyperventilating, dry mouth etc ---- either way all the symptoms are no fun - ever!
I can manage on breathing techniques and distraction techniques and have found that caffeine, cheese and fizzy drinks makes my dizziness worse and thus makes my panic attacks worse so I tried to avoid them.
Id love to meet some like minded people and possibly find some like minded penpals too.
