Hi there, I am soo thankful for coming across this website.... I suffered from panic attacks ten years ago and managed to get them under control.
I have recently begun to suffer from them again and general anxiety and panic and depression after having a traumtic misscarriage (requiring surgery), my sixteen year old dog dying, a tooth removed (dental fear) one thing after the other..... I am single at the moment and wonder if lonely also. I am 35.
My main concern is my heart.... it races and misses beats, I find it hard to sleep and am constantly in a state of panic about it, I find it hard to eat, concentrate, am jittering and constantly crying. I have been to my doctor several times over the last couple of months and he felt it racing so gave me an ECG which was fine and blood tests which again were fine. I had an echo years ago during my first series of panic attacks and this was fine also.
I have also just given up smoking five weeks ago and wonder if this has contributed in some way?
Am I going to die, I face each day thinking that I will and cant change my pattern of thought.
