Hi all - hope you are all well. I have not been on here for months as I have actually been feeling a lot better, until the last few days.
I am still taking my 20mg Citalopram as well, coming up to a year on these now.
Anyway, my dad has been ill and I have had a fair bit of personal trouble the last month or so and this morning on the way to work my legs felt numb and cold as did my hands. My chest feels a bit tight as well and I keep thinking something bad is going to happen to me as I have raised BP and am very overweight (even though an ECG a year ago when checked over after bad panic attack showed my heart was fine)
I am sitting at my desk feeling a bit light headed and for the first time in months feeling like something bad is going to happen, and it is Friday 13th!
I also feel a bit dry mouthed and a bit shaky - could this be a mini panic attack I am having? I am still working so cannot be that bad and am I being silly thinking this is more than it is?
What I will do is go outside in a bit and do some breathing exercises and try and calm down a bit (but I still smoke unfortunately!)
Reassurance is probably what I need ... although I do know I have to lose weight, stop smoking and get my BP down.
I guess I am worrying a little too much?
