Hi all
I just wanted to post an in introduction.
I've been suffering on and off with panic/anxiety attacks for a while.
For the most part I can control them and I know that they are triggered by stress and worry.
The usual symptoms are, I feel a skipped beat or a tinge in my chest and then my thoughts start running off. Or I feel stressed and then worry that I will get panic attacks. The thought of going through what I did year back after my first one just reminds me of sheer hell and I guess that is what I am afraid of.
I figure the best way to deal with this is to try and deal with the stress.
I'm having a difficult time at the moment after an episode of palpitations last week. I didn't feel that stressed out but they just kicked in and this time I went to my GP to get some test run. I'm hoping this will ease my mind somewhat since I liev in fear of the damage these things might cause me.
I was okay for a few days after the attack but by the end of the week I was getting more and more worried and stressed about getting worried and stressed.
I'm trying a coupld of things to help me strenghten my mind and spirit - chi kung and yoga which I hope over time will really help me out. I know its all in my head. I guess sometimes it's hard to remember that in your darker moments.
I was wondering what other techniques people have tried. I was thinking of trying hypnotherapy.
Anyway thanks for reading :-)
