    4 panic attacks in 3 days

    Hi
    My mum passed away last weekend and this weekend and today I've had 4 panic attacks. I did suffer with them previously but I hadn't had any for a while but no I'm just getting them a lot. The funeral is next week but I'm worried that this is going to be a frequent occurrence from now on. Has anyone else had an experience like this before.

    Thanks

    I’m so sorry for your loss.
    I don’t think it’ll be your new normal, you’re in shock and grieving. You could always visit your doctor for advice and support.
    Make sure you get plenty of rest.

    My condolences, Kel.

    Please cut yourself some slack? You've had something truly shocking happen to you, it's not surprising that the panic attacks are returning. As Scass says, have a chat with your GP if you could do with some extra support.

    Be patient with yourself, and give yourself time to heal. For what it's worth, four panic attacks in three days is about my average for far less stressful occurrences.

    I used to take Propranolol but I stopped. I didn't really like the way it made me feel

    Beta blockers aren't the only option - at this stage, you might benefit from grief counselling. There are also other medications that might be appropriate. Either way, it would be a good idea to get the relevant support mechanisms put in place.

    Kel, you will be ok for the funeral if you are worrying about that. I know I was worried when I lost my mum. But strength and courage kicks in to get you through.
    I spent a good time talking to The Samaritans and there is the bereavement number you can call.
    I take chamomile tea for calming and just get plenty of rest. x

    I'm just feeling tired a lot. I'm getting 8 hours sleep a night but I've got bags under my eyes. I suppose this is normal but I'm also coming onto my monthly periods now so this might not be helping either

    It’s exhausting, that’s one of the things I remember about my Mum dying. And that I needed to take time to be by myself and rest.

    I think I need a bit of structure back in my life. At the moment it's late nights and 9 o clock wake ups

    I'm a complete mess at the moment. Don't know how I'm supposed to get through all of this
