Before the heart skips, jumps, flutters and misses I cant remember having a panic attack. I was stressed and therefore tense quite a lot.
Its hard to admit to myself that I may in fact suffer from anxiety and panic attacks. But, the truth is I now do.
I tell myself if the heart palpitations stop, I will feel better. I think I would not feel so anxious, but reckon underneath that I was already unhappy and tense.
My problem is, where to go about it. My GP looks at me as though I should pull myself together. He's known me years and has not seen me anxious, so to him I am not. I don't express it very well to him and its not a visible thing with me. If I take a few valium for a couple of days it can settle things for a few weeks after, but that's not going to be in supply, even though I do not take it much
I am not sure if I should ask for a referral to somewhere, but where, and what could they do to help?
