Hi, I am a 39 year old male, Live with wife (get on alrightish) and 2 kids 2year old and 10.
Have been suffering from Panic Attacks/Anxiety (maybe) for nearly 2 years.Also have GERD and costochondritis (which seems to be all carm at the moment).Bloodpressure varies from 100/70 to 130/80 normalpule around 60-80 I am overweight by a few stone.
But in the last 8 weeks thing have started to happen quick was rush to hospital with chest heaviness left pec/shoulder and neck and my bp was 154/130 ish and pulse 130 was keepin for around 8 hours having tests done but they found nothing to worry about but sence then i have been having major attacks of anxiety.
Chest tightness (have had several ecgs and 1 treadmill ecg all fine)
Find it hard to go sleep as will nly do it when i wish to hate suddenly nodding of have to jerk myself awake, Have a routine I have to follow before I am ready to try sleeping every night.
Find it hard to breath sometimes throat tightness only can last a few seconds-minutes.
Lightheadness
Jumpy all the time ie when my 2 year old site funny on the sette i start to panic that she will fall of and than i start a circle of hard to dizzness etc.
Headaches mainly left side feels like pressure.
Cannot go out alone as fear i will have an attack and not get home.
Hands go numb start to sweat and get lightheaded feel like I am not in my body.
Sometimes and this is STRANGE when i rub my hands together I get lightheaded and start to panic also is I sometimes push my hands over my head it starts.
Was give citalopram 20mg but only lasted 4days on them as wish not to go down that route. But have started st johns wort 900mg aday.
I am going mad
