I thought I Better introduce myself!

Hello Everyone
Im 24 Years Old and started had a panic attacks in my late teens. I would say that I am a very anxious person and as a have got old the anxiety gradually gor worse. About three years ago I started having real big anxiety. I

t never stopped me doing anything but I spent most of the time thinking that I had some underlying problem and this cycle of thoughts are still going around it my head. I was put on cipralex for about 6 months which I found did not really work. I have managed to control my anxiety to a degree which meant I stopped the medication. I still can not rid myself of all the symtoms associated with anxiety. Anybody know how to get positive thoughts back into my head?

The other thing I can't understand is that I seem perfectly relaxed watching tv and then I would get this rush of blood to my head, I lose all concentration for a few seconds and go all dizzy? They occur most days ever since I come off the medication! Are they head zaps or palpitations?. I also find Palpitations scare me as sometimes they come on when Im relaxed! Will These go?

Enough of me, can you help!

A very big welcome to you - fear of palpitations is actually what I was looking for and I found this site instead.

We have a good page written by Meg all about them - do have a read as it may help to reassure you.

Welcome along Matty,

CBT is a possible method of overcoming your panics and symptoms. Have you discussed this with your doc?

Hello Matty

Knowledge and understanding along with recognition and experience are extremely powerful.

If you have a clear bill of health from your doctors then dop read up here and on the home pages about symptoms and health anxiety and let us know if you have any unanswered questions.

You can improve your situation.
