I had severe panic attacks for years & years, finally ending with my heart feeling sloppy and visibly "lurching" . I was given beta blockers which made me worse. I'd tried acupuncture, tranquillisers, herbal, homeopathic, conventional medicine, Bach flower remedies......everything.
Then in 2001, I was abroad on holiday & yet another panic welled up in me but this time something inside me screamed STOP. I promised myself that when I got home I would see my GP yet again - but most importantly I would NOT stop seeking the root cause of these horrific feelings. I was sick to death of treating the symptoms.
What changed me, and 9 years on I'm still totally panic-free, is a series of (£30 per hour) visits to a Psychologist. He gently unrooted horrible hidden memories from my childhood. These horrible memories would push themselves through into my consciousness at odd times, thus causing my panic attacks. I did not believe him.
But once I had faced these - and they truly weren't that bad, although would have been when I was 3 yrs old - my panics literally dissappeared overnight.
I hope you all have the same success as I did - took about 6 weeks initially, then another couple of years for me to feel safe from the panics.
Good luck
