Hi Olivia

i also suffer from panic attacks. i have the shortness of breath, go pale,light headed and dizzy, sometimes my heart will beat fast while this happens and sometimes it feels as if it's missing beats and about to stop. I haven't fainted but felt very near to it. Been in A&E a few times because i felt that ill but they said everything was fine. Going to see Psychologist tomorrow, people tell me they are a big help. Don't know if you have ever seen one, if not maybe you should give it a go it may help as i'm hoping it will help me.

Sorry i can't be much help to you yet but just wanted to let you know you are not on your own with these attacks of anxiety and panic. There are lots of friendly people on this site that may be able to help a lot more

Hope you are feeling better really quickly

Hi Olivia

And Welcome, many of us have felt or feel exactly the same, so you have come to the right place for help and support. You say you have tried drugs hun, how long did you stay on them for as they can take a couple of months to start working.
Take a look at the first step pages they may help.
