Hi all
Sorry that I have not been around for awhile
I will re cap a little about me.
My panic attacks and anxiety started 2 years ago, it was the night before we were going away on holiday, I have never liked flying but done it because I knew I was going to enjoy myself once I got there. Well the night before I really thought I was going to die, My chest was really tight I felt that I couldn't breathe and had pains in my chest my hubby was in bed asleep as we had an early start so didn't want to wake him, we carried on and went to the airport chest was still tight and felt that I couldn't breathe but I just carried on, as soon as we landed it sort of shifted it was still there but not as bad so was able to enjoy the holiday untill the night before we were due to come home and it all started again.
Went to the docs and they were very understanding said to me it could be anxiety but still sent me for ECG, chest xray and ago on the treadmill but everything was ok.
It got to the stage where all I wanted to do was lay down when I felt like this and nothing got done around the house.
I went back to the docs and said I can't go on like this, I have 2 children to look after and I am not sleeping, he was reluctant but gave me diazapan but I only used as and when I felt I couldn't breathe.
We were struggling with money and my husband didn't know how to tell me that I had to go out to work to help bring in some money but he did and it all started again but I found a job and I love it, Have been there for over a year now.
I think the job has really helped as now I have something else to think sbout, I can't remember the last time I had an attack which is good and I even manged to go on a plane this year and felt really good, I still get sharp pains in my head that make me stop in my tracks but it is not very often now.
I just wanted to share my story with you just to show you will come through the other side, this site really helped to and don't know what I would of done without it.
Thakyou for reading this and sorry it was abit long
