I've just got home from work and on the drive home (which takes about 50 mins) I had the most almighty anxiety attack!
I've recently started to feel very tired and lethargic from about 1pm for a few weeks now and today was no different. When I got in the car to drive home I felt a bit light headed and tired.
About half way home I started to feel dizzy and anxious but usually I can control this, only this time I felt all at once, a tight sharp pain in my stomach and chest and a quick pain in my head (my vision blurred at the exact same time) and then my heart was racing and chest tight as if I couldn't breathe, all of this whilst trying to drive home in the dark with drizzle and traffic jams to contend with! the whole thing lasted until I managed to get to a garage and get a drink of cold water down me (about 20 mins)
It hasn't been a good day, I still feel light headed and strange now but the anxiety seems to have gone away for now.
I thought I was getting over all this and it's so demoralising when it comes back, I guess I'll have to accept that I need to live with it rather that expect to get rid of it, 16 years now! :mad:
