Ok, So im new here, and i hope this site can help me.
Ive been suffering Panic Attacks ever since i was 13 years old, but as i grew older the panic seemed to get better, and i somehow learned to control it.
But since January this year there back, and worse than ive ever had before. Atm there ruining my life, ive had to pack my job in and everything. Ive been in and out of hospital, to the doctors numerous times, had LOADS of ECG's. (which have all came back normal) but for some reason i cant seem to tell myself that i AM OK. My doctor seems to think its more anxiety related rather than panic. It starts off with my heart really racing (about 113-130 bpm), then i panic and think im going to die! I get the usual tingling in my hands and face, my head goes dizzy, my legs like jelly and i break out in a sweat.
So now, im constantly on edge!! I sit and feel my pulse in my neck (which is a very bad habit), My dc has referred me to a councilor, which i feel is going nowhere.
There's not 1 part of the day where i dont feel anxious and on edge. Its so bad i cant even sleep alone at night!! :(
And to add to my stress i have just found out im pregnant, which was unplanned, but im ok about it, and so is my boyfriend and my whole family are very suportive.
Im 19 years old, and absolutely sick of Panic / Anxiety ruining my life!!
Help me?!
