i am so relieved to find this site i am two weeks into suffering what i think are panic attacks i have an appointment with wellbeing team next week re cbt have been so scared .i have had four attacks so far two quite bad.
the doc has given me citalopram 20 mg but i have read about the side affects and am to frightened to take them..doc also gave me diazepam 2mg to take only if i couldnt handle the more severe attacks..have taken only two so far..i am trying to fight this without medication..i am off work at the moment with chest pains possible angina {yet to be confirmed}.i go back to work on monday and am dreading getting an attack when i am there..nothing seems to cause the attacks they seem so random.
like everyone i am lost as to know how i am going to handle what lies ahead,i am 52 and have never experienced anything like this before..
any advice /help you guys can offer would be so appreciated..
