Hi All,

I was just recently diagnosed with having panic attacks. I have went to the ER twice thinking something else is wrong. Honestly I don't know how to deal with it all. It started about a week and a half ago. I have had about six attacks, and they keep on escalating. I had the worse one yet just two days ago. I am still having lingering symptoms like tingling and burning in my feet, hands, and face. I am just truly scared that this isn't normal....??? Does this happen to anyone else??
No one really understands and I think that just frustrates me evern more...

Any tips would be great!

Thanks,

A.

Hello Amber:welcome:to you!

Sounds like this is all perfectly normal symptoms associated with pa's. I remember how horrible this was - when you're at home a cold, wet flannel works wonders. If you're out then one of those 'cooling' face sprays are quite effective. You can get them in Boots or Superdrug etc.

I also found that taking just small sips of cool water helped too.

We all understand and you're not alone - you'll find plenty of help and support here.

Glad you found us and pleased to meet you!

Hi Amber and :welcome:

You'll get loads of advice and support here while making new friends along the way. Pins and needles is a really common symptom of anxiety and is caused when blood is diverted from your limbs when you feel in danger.

Take care,

Mike :)
