Hi guys !!

[Buzzard10]

Hello All,

Im a 35 year old male, who has gone from been the life and soul of the party..to getting to the stage of not wanting to go out and socialise with friends. The symptoms starting about 2 months ago and gradually seem to be getting more frequent. I have been to see my GP and had an ECG at the hospital, I also have an up and coming appointment with a Neurologist (July 8th)...but after reading the symtoms on this site, i am beginning to feel I am more anxious than ill.

My regular symtons are : -

Dizziness and feeling spaced out
Feeling as if i am going to faint
Nausea
Chest Pain
Tingling in arms and legs

Anyone recommend anything i can buy over the chemist counter until my appintment in July to help calm the situation when one of these attacks triggers??

Thanks in advance !!:)

PS Never put you symptons on NHS direct..i have worried myself into thinking I have a Brain Tumour/Motor Neurone/Dementia and lots of other horrible diseases :scared15:

I agree with the NHS site and the dreaded dr google lol it just makes you worry. Has your dr mentioned any meds for your attacks or have you talked to him about how you think they could be from anxiety? xx

ETA: I had brain scans etc etc and nothing was found.. all my symptoms were from panic.... everything you have listed are panic symptoms xx

The GP never said anything.. it never crossed my mind till I found this site. Guess thats the next thing to do !!

I felt like a fraud going back and forth to the docs..but I guess thats what i pay my National Insurance for !!

Do any of these rescue remedies work, that you can buy in places like Holland and Barretts ??

Cheers x

I have heard good things about bachs resuce remedy (spelling check lol) but havent tried it... there is a section for natural remedies on the site here maybe take a look on there?

Def speak to your Dr tho as there is alot that can help. Im on beta blockers which take away the effects of the the panic attack (shakes beating heart etc ect) dont feel like a fraud thou cause you deserve to be listened to so please make another appointment and talk to the dr about your options.
