New panic attack

[PanicsAlot]

Hello,

I have registered as I am currently having a panic attack, annoying this is that I'm absolutely knackered and just want to go to sleep...problem is everytime I clse my eyes, I'm convinced my left side is going numb and then I feel like I can't breathe...or I get a throb pain in my head and I feel I'm about to die or at least pass out. It's all very stereotypical of panic attacks, just wish this one would stop now so that I can go to sleeeeeep!! Even noises from my computer scares me, which makes me jump, so I think my heart is about to stop...ARGH!

Hi Katie,

Welcome to NMP !!!

It's good that you recognize and understand what is happening during your attack.
The old maxim of "This too shall pass" does apply despite your current feelings.
Joining this Site recently has led me to a much better place than I have been inhabiting-mentally and physically-for a long time.
I am sure you will benefit from the support and advice on offer here.
Best wishes,
Chalky

Thank you chalky! I'm going to keep saying that to myself, even though the over riding thing at the mo, is that I'm going t die!! Eek, I'm very much a stereotypical worrier/panic attack candidate!

The best thing you can do is breathing

In through the nose - count to 4 - then exhale through mouth for 4

repeat over and over - it will calm u

Welcome by the way!
