Hi I'm Lindsey. I have been suffering from anxiety and panic attacks for 6 years. I am on cipralex and have had some CBT, group therapy and psychiatric help. I found this web site as my anxiety was affecting my performance at work and my supportive manager asked me to research anxiety (I never bothered to do this before!) I had an attack last week - I had to pull my car over as I thought I was having a heart attack as I had stabbing pains in my chest. I ended up in A and E - the doctor reassured me that I was not dying - my muscles had become so tense it was causing me pain!
