Hi Guys
Don't know if I am supposed to just post or not but am having REAL issues with my panic atttacks/anxiety just now. Foor the last 3 weeks it has dominated my life. I have had a good life I am 33. Great mates, good b/friend, great job (which I am in danger of messing up as I have had 2 weeks off) no real stresses great supportive childhood. Bet thats more than a lot of folk could say. Yet a year ago I had panic attack in street out of blue. Full blown couldnt breathe ran home like a lunatic, and I don't run ANYWHERE lay on bed for about 15 minutes till heart returned to normal. Then no more attacks great a one off I thought.
3 weeks ago out of blue the whole shibang again. Racing heart ground moving, grey dots in front of eyes, feel sick, sweat buckets, lump in throat, legs physically and visibly shake, body tremors, head spins had to RUN from Asda then go home and lie for ages trying to breathe and feel better by a couple of hours later the worst had left except anxiety, feeling shaky (but not outwardly shaking) a bit sick and very surreal, andthat has not left me since. I go out to walk the dog and its like I have sea legs, very unsteady on feet and get a rushing "water in ear" syndrome thing happening, I feel constantly on edge and very tearful.
Doc prescribed propanolol and paxil,paxil made me worse so back today and he has given me Venlafaxine.
Please can someone give me some advice as I feel like I am becomoing a prisoner in my own thoughts. I am constantly scared to the point of sickness(usually bile - sorry to be graphic) and there is nothing physically wrong.
I just want to cry and cry and cry.
Thank you for reading
