Have any of you had panic attacks?

[SarahH]

Just wondering if you can describe them to me? The last few days I keep, just shaking all over uncontolably (almost like I have been outside naked in the freezing cold for days) and having difficulty breathing.

Is this a panic attack? I have got some stuff on my mind just now.

Yes it does sound like a panic attack hun, everyone experiences different things and it does depend on the extent of the attack but your symptoms sound like a typical panic attack.

See your doctor hun, talk to them about it and they will give you tips on how to manage panic attacks etc.

does sound like a panic attacks, all of a sudden you go cold or hot, cant breath feel like your going to pass out, feel lightheaded and dizzy.

They are so horrible and frightening i still suffer from them from time to time, iv been through counselling and have been taught breathing techniques to deal with them and been on medication.

If you need a chat or want any more info just PM anytime hun.

Sending you hugs

Hi honey,

It does sound as though they could be Panic Attacks, they can manifest differently in different people. I have suffered with them for nearly 12 years now, I have to take medication daily...however, I am going through psychotherapy so that I can come off the drugs to try for baby again. Tracey and Jo are right about breathing techniques, you can get lots of help to deal with the symptoms practically...but it is also a really good idea to get some sort of counselling or Cognative behaviour Therapy to get to the bottom of your anxiety and change your thinking patterns. Talk to your doctor and he/she should be able to sort out somehterapy for you.

Good luck, please pm me if you would like any help or someone to talk to...I really do understand how frightening they can be.

Lots of love
Michelle
