hi every one i found this site by accident after i was desperately looking for some help with my panic attacks.Im 34 with 3 kids in a good relationship but my life is ruled by my almost daily panic attacks and my complete fear of dying.until i read all the info on this site i really thought i was mad i didn't realise other people suffer like i do.
my panic attacks started 3 1/2 years ago,i remember i was taking my children to my mums and it was a 2 hour bus journey,all the way there i felt that there was no air on the bus and my heart kept going really fast and i kept going dizzy,i was so scared i really thought there was something seriously wrong with me.
my boss at the time also suffered from panic attacks and it was her that told me what had happened,so i went to the dr's only to be fobbed off with "probably caused by financial worries" even though i didnt really have any!!
next time i went to the dr's i was told that it was a consequence of having taken a few ecstsy tablets in my youth,and there wasn't really anything that could be done because research was still ongoing in that particular area.
finally last year i was backwards and forwards from the dr's with terrible headaches only to be told to drink more water,(i only drink water and about 4 coffees aday) i also got given some tablets which i couldnt take as i only take paracetomol and asprin.
so basically i really dont know what too do next,i hate feeling the way i do,ive recently moved to a new area to be nearer to my parents and sisters but i havent registered with the local dr's yet and too be honest i dont have that much faith in them any more.
