Hi my name is Alison,
i have recently started to have panic attacks, the first one happened day after boxing day, i usually am a shopaholic and any excuse to visit any shop and im first there.
I dont know what triggered it i was not feeling too great over xmas period started by getting repeat pains in chest and under ribs was not feeling too great when went shopping, can only describe my body suddenly started to "overheat" i became extremely hot and felt light headed and faint my legs felt wobbly like they couldnt support me felt weak, went clammy my fiance said my face went really white too
i had to remove my coat and exit the store as i felt i was gonna pass out i also felt what can only be described as a real heaviness across the top of my back and shoulders like been hit by a heavy brick
i have fainted in the past several times years ago so am awarew of what the symptoms are beforehand and what it feels like before and after fainting
am really concerned as im now struggling to get out of the house to go shopping as it has happened on more occasions since then when shopping
have been to my doctor who has run blood tests to check for anaemia thyroid etc to rule out anything else, awaiting results now but i accept its really likely to be panic attacks
i would really like to be able to share this with other sufferers and hope that maybe someone else would like to contact me and maybe keep in regular contact particular from the nottinghamshire area as i have not long moved to this part of the country from the south east.
Thanks for taking time to read this.:blush:
