Hello,
This is my first post on this forum, tho I've been reading it continously for the last 48 hours since I discovered it while googling for a cure.
I had my first panic attack when I was 19 yrs old, back in 2000. During my first panic attack I've called the ambulance and the nurse who was a very young lady told me on the way to the hospital that I had a heart attack! While in the waiting area at the ER I've heard some nurses saying I was ischemic or that I had an artery blocked. I 've been held in the hospital in the UK 3 days after they put a camera through one of my arteries to see if it was blocked or not. They send me home saying it's nothing wrong with my heart but since then I can't recover.
Going back to my country I had several panic attacks in 2001, all ending at the ER. Nurses were saying I have Wolf Parkinson White syndrome, doctors were sending me home saying it's nothing wrong with me. Actually one nurse said that if I will ever smoke a cigarette,drink a glass of beer or eat chocolate I will die. Can you just imagine what impact her words had in my head? I will never forget her all my life..
In 2003 I've finally been sent to a psichyatrist and she put me on Zoloft (Sertraline)and Rivotril (Clonazepam) straight away.
I've managed to escape the black hole I've lived in between 2000-2003 after 3 months of medication and life started to get colour again. I still have relapses like once at couple months.
Recently in UK I've had some hypno therapy sessions which helped a lot. After a major anxiety and despression episode which lasted between December and March this year I decided to try hypno-therapy as a last resort, I thought. I've been feeling completely normal and I was sure it was gone forever. 2 weeks ago it started all over again, but not that bad as they used to be. It's like the panic tries me, like kicking this wall I've built in the last months and can't go through, to it's full power. But I am afraid my wall will start shaking soon.
I do appologise for my english. Altough I live in UK now, my english is not as good as it should be.
That's it for now, I wasn't prepared to write "my story", I just wanted to pop in and say Hi, but I thought I should introduce my self just a lil.
Thank you very much for being there.
