I first had panic attacks 20 years ago, I went on medication that time and it helped and I came off them and was mostly ok for a while. About 4 years later it got bad again, I got more meds but after taking the first one it gave me a massive panic attack and I didn't take any more. I turned to acupuncture and chinese medicine which did help. I haven't been completely free over the last few years but they never really got as far as the full blown ones. But since the new year I have felt quite "down" and the anxiety and panic are back. Somedays I seem to be fine then others like yesterday and today are bad. What started it yesterday was when I got up from bed I felt a little lightheaded then wham the panic set in, eased as the day went on but I was anxious going to bed last night fearing feeling the same this morning, so been awake since 4 am scared to get out of bed! I did get up about 7 am and there was no light headedness, but the panic was there just waiting to get hold, i felt the wobbly weak leg thing going downstairs. I just want these feelings and constant worry of feeling panicky to go. Hope all this makes sense!
