Congratulations on your progress CONS

I don't suffer from HA but do have anxiety/agoraphobia/PA's so a lot of the info you have provided is really useful.
I can't/won't go to the docs for help so need to aim for recovery on my own..which may take some time!

Keep us posted

Brilliant post, thank you matey. I particularly liked this part:

Go to your GP and describe every symptom you're having for peace of mind.

Don't take any crap from your doctor. When you walk in there, say to them "I've been suffering from a few symptoms and I'd like to spend a minute or two discussing them all." Make it obvious you're there to stay -- don't let them rush you! They are there for your convenience, not the other way around.

They will think they know everything, and in fairness they probably do have a good idea what's wrong just from looking at you and listening to how you're talking, but you need to tell them EVERYTHING so that you don't walk away thinking "God, I forgot to mention my flatulence" (for example).

Hi Cons, just read your guide, it's great and explains some of the weirder symptoms I've been having like the hair on my head feeling like it's standing up! I read somewhere that it's impossible to panic and relax at the same time, so I'm now going for the relaxation techniques in a big way, especially the breathing, so it's good to see it's working for you too. Hope things are picking up for you and thanks for directing me to you guide. Kayro
