I am a 47 year old female who has suffered all my life with panic and anxiety attacks. For many years i have been able to lead a pretty productive life . Due to much stress in my life over the last three months my panic is back with a vengence. I am in therapy and taking medication but feel totally helpless. I am scared to death.I want to feel normal Please offer any suggestions, ina

I welcome you to the site. I have suffered for over 25 years - am menopausal at the moment and the symptoms have got worse. No on any meds just take Kalms and rescue remedy spray and try to carry water bottle with me everywhere. My worst situation is shopping centres,supermarkets,restaurants,cinema etc. Went to my daughters graduation last month and had to sit by the door away from my family as I had a panic attack and felt dizzy and faint and hyperventilated a lot. I am so upset about this - I try to eat out and visit places etc and will mostly do these things but have to sit on the end of a row in a cinema or near a door - and my husband,though loving and kind, gets very frstrated and thinks I should be able to combat this!!! Have tried CBT but waste of time. i find this site one of the most valuable things in helping me cope coz we are all in the same situation and you can be anonymous!! Good luck in your life coping.Wenjoy x

Hi ina

Welcome to nmp:)
There is no magic answer to panic attacks. One suggestion is to see them through and do not think you are going to die!
They are terrifying I know, I have them myself.
If you read the problems/Issues on the lefthand pane, you will see the title, Panic Attacks. The information is very helpful. Perhaps you may get an understanding of what is happening to your body. Under the circumstances, what you are experiencing is all perfectly normal. Pm me anytime about your panic, if you wish, I can then explain how it makes me feel.
Hope this helps. Remember you are not alone with this illness.
Take care.
Leonard.
