Hi folks
Only found this site 24 hours ago and its already improved my life many times
During the past 2-3 years i've been seeing the doctor for all sorts of ailments. At the time they have seen justifiable but looking at it now I think they all point to being Anxiety/panic attacks
Most of my synptoms are as described in the help lists...not only am I ticking the odd point but I'm ticking most of them.
I've got to the stage where my house and local area feels like a safety blanket. I'm usually ok within the zone but quite quickly get panic attacks away from the zone.
During the past 2 weeks I've been getting , what I believe to be , anxiety/ panic attacks in the home. These can last all day and are horrible. They just simmer away and put me in a state of terror. I get asthma so i get a tightness of the chest and I feel that I'm not going to be able to breath. My asthma has only been diagnoised since christmas but looking at the signs and symptoms I believe I've had for the past few years.
I also become easily stressed which then brings on attacks. The simplist and most trivial thing that goes wrong can get me stressed. Is this linked with the anxiety/ panic attacks.
I'm seeing my doctor on thursday and I'm going to tell her about how I feel. I'm worried that she wont understand or I wont put myself accross cprrectly. Is this a subject that they are aware and If so can they help with any kind of treatments ?
Any advice or help would be gratefully recieved
