Symptoms

[debstar]

How can you get rid of the symptoms?

I hate that you feel good one day and then the next you get things like head zaps, wierd pains/feelings, heart palps, think you're going to die etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc.

If I could get rid of the symptoms my health anxiety would more than likely disappear.

Are there medications that can eliminate most of these symptoms. I am on cipramil and find that they don't.

Would appreciate some advice.

that's a very big question for one thread!
what has your doctor suggested?

quick fixes that calm me down are:

controlling my breathing - breathe in for 3 counts and out for 6 counts
drinking very cold water
lightly rubbing with fingertips the part of your neck where you can feel your pulse

if i'm at home i try to occupy my mind with something else eg nmp arcade or crosswords

Hi deb,

I was working through my issues and problems with symptoms last week in CBT.

Basically i am trying to challenge my thoughts when symptoms appear by using distractions such as carrying on with what i'm doing, doing relaxation, reading, telly etc., and not concentrating on them and watching them also i'm trying to challenge my thoughts by thinking alone the lines of ..... i'm not going to let this beat me, i'm not going to die, there are millions of people suffering panic and i'm not alone ... i can get through this.
I am trying this out and it is working for me.

Hope this helps.

Love
Pink
