Woke up and had to dip into the Ativan

I'm in tears just waiting for something to happen. I got up, showered and dressed but then as I was drying my hair had a horrible pain in my back, upper left side.
Mind goes to blood clots and that was it.
I can't describe how I feel but like something is building inside my chest and it scares the crap out of me. It really does feel like something is building and I'm thinking I'm going to stop breathing or this is it, my heart is going to stop.
I have a full day today and this has stopped me in my tracks. Kids both have birthday parties and I need to get gifts...
Ativan has kicked in and I'm mellowed out but I'm scared to go out in case it comes back.
darn I'm getting worse instead of better...

Me too today. Just try and keep your mind occupied with other thoughts. Try multiplication tables if necessary

Aw bless you xx
Try doing the normal things ,saying in your head..... I am strong I am calm I can do this.. Over and over nice and slowly slowing your self down... It works miracle's for me xx or make your own that your comfy with. X

Keep your chin up stay strong and we are here for you xx

I hope you are doing better today 😊panicgirly

Glad you had a better day, pg! One step at a time!
