hi i am new and just joined today, i thought i was ill couple of weeks ago and have been to hospital had all the heart and blood checks couldn't believe that i had panic attacks due to always being strong minded, although when i am stressed it is always kept to myself in which in time has caught up with me and my stressed has caused these panics, i am learning slowly but surely each day that it is a panic attack and nothing bad is going to happen to me, it happens worse when i am hot and clammy , i hate that feeling like i can't breath so then i panic, also i have not felt hungry in such a long time :( i long to feel like something to eat again, is this due to all the stress and the stress off panics and realising i have panics now? a new way of life ? will i feel hungry again ? i feel weak in the mornings which makes me panic more i need to eat to feel strong to deal with the panics better but what can i do if i don't feel hungry? is anyone else this way ??? i have been trying to eat little bits but then i panic that i'll get a sick feeling so then i can't eat , i am drinking complan but i can't live off that forever :( last night i ate a little and had complan , slept well but woke feeling weak which made me panic , do i just need time to build up again. please could someone help and advise me ... thank you ..... :) ps a little tip for if you get that sick feeling , get a pint of water two desert spoons of sugar, an dab a little salt on your finger place on your tongue and drink couple mouth fulls of your sugar water , sounds horrible but works ... doctors advice x

Jenkins, I haven't been hungry in a few days either. I force myself to eat and I do feel a bit nausea as I am eating. I stuck to crackers and water for a few days - i"m actually trying an apple right now (slowly). My mind didn't want food but I knew my stomach did. I can only say is to try and eat something. What is the worst thing to happen. You throw it up? I was reading the "sticky" on the citalpram forum "guide to citalopram" and I found some very good advice that can apply to anyone. Check it out.

Hi jenkins,

Welcome to the site!

Sorry to hear you feel so awful. I dropped half a stone in a week because I like you couldn't eat & when I did it was fruit (grapes mainly)!!! You will get your appetite back, but when you have your good moments try & eat bits as low blood sugar will make you feel rubbish as well.
