Hello everyone :)
I'm new here and just reading some of the posts and peoples advice i already feel slightly better.
Im 23, and have been having panic attacks / health anxiety for the past 2 years. Ive been through all the big ones, Brain Tumor, Heart attack, Cancer..of course i have had all the tests, and they have never found anything. When i was really bad last year, my blood pressure was through the roof, but that was due to the anxiety.
I was prescribed escitalopalm and that has helped but i think i have become immune to them now as the anxiety is back, i was supposed to start a new job on Tuesday, i just couldnt do it. Im in constant fear that im going to collapse / pass out / die in public, and i just cannot rationalize it! Its becoming such a problem. I have had to come back home to my mum! Im totally obbsessed with my breathing, and feel like if i dont get a 'Big breath' my heart is just going to stop! Crazy i know! I feel like im going insane!
Anyway, just wondering if anyone had any advice or similar problem?
