my name is teresa and my typing is poor at present because i have fractured my wrist. which is where the tale starts. i am a teacher recently diagnosed with high blood pressure. so 10 days ago i started taking beta blockers - these made me sleepy [|)]in the mornings. then on friday i fell off a chair at school [)] the effect was a nasty fracture to my wrist. i then had trouble with the general anaestetic and they had to bring me round and do it by block instead. the experience has left me with panic attacks - first time . i am having a bad time and want to know if this is a common thing to happen after such an experience? my doctor thinks i will be much better after friday when i have the thing checked- possibilty of pining which he and i think is behind the attacks. i am at the point where i have had a normal [but fast] ecg and nearly believe that this will go away.
any ideas would be welcome as none of this is helping the blood pressure.
cheers teresa
