hiya hun

ok first try to take deep breaths hun you are going to be ok ,keep thinking it is just a pa it wont hurt you and it wont last long.try take you mind off it go do somthing for a bit see if it helps .
when i get a pa i allways get a fast heart and ectopics (flutters) but then will go when you calm down hun they allways do try a glass of ice water that helps slow the heart down .

:hugs:

Breathe slowly- do you have a paper bag to breathe into/from? If you feel sick bend forward with your head in your knees. Just take it easy and very slowly. You WILL be ok.

Firstly you're not dying. :) I had my first p.a this time last year (last Sunday in April) and thought I was dying then and I'm still here! Try to be calm and remind yourself it is just a p.a.

Hi Celia,

hope you are feeling better now.

I do the same as Jimmirock...i have propranolol as i had an attack that lasted days, now i just take as and when i need to.Not very often but they work pretty much straight away, slow the heart, make you feel generally calmer!

Hope this helps slightly,
