Hi I'm new here and this is my first post.
My story is that since the age of 16 I had panic attacks but eventually found these were down to Hypoglycaemia (Low blood sugar). I have a glucose meter and can monitor it well.
However, in January I had a cold followed by a chest infection. Because I worry about everything I didn't take my antibiotics, but it seems to have cleared itself up, though I'm left with a cough.
Just walking down the road last week I had a really bad panic attack like I've not had for years. I also had a new meter which said I was ok. I've since found out that meter was reading high.
Anyway, all week I've been getting anxious over what seems the slightest thing.
A nurse told me that chest infections can bring on panic attacks. Wonder if anyone else has heard of this and can confirm it.
I sort of feel ok, but then again this cough is still niggling at me so I may not be right yet.
Usually I'm quite relaxed but this has really got me this time.
Thnaks for your help
Regards
Steve
