Hi there
I'm recently diagnosed with panic attacks, and I'm still having problems getting my head around them. Sometimes I have a complete day without thinking about them and then bang they hit me. My symptoms are anxiety, sweating, pains across my chest and abdomen, tingling feelings and an imenient feeling of doom, such as I'm about to die of a heart attack. I'm going to see the GP again on Monday morning and was wondering what to ask? I was thinking of getting a full health check and if that's OK, which I'm sure it will be (I've had an ecg, blood pressure and chest x-ray when I went to A&E a few weeks ago, but is that conclusive?) I was thinking of a referral to a counciller. I've got to sort this out as it is really disrupting my life, and have a wife and 6 month baby to look after, I don't want them to suffer as they have been because of my condition. Any help from you guys would be fantastic. What should I ask?
Cheers
John.
