I will let everyone know when I start and will keep y'all posted on progress, I have heard good things about it and am hopeful for myself. Fingers crossed...
Btw I ment cbt therapy and not cat 😄...
I'm due to start a course of cat therapy in the new year sometime but it feels like a long time away. I don't know if anyone remembers but I had an etc about a month ago and was told I had no sign...
I dont use any medication as I didn't want to take beta blockers and my doc won't prescribe any benzos (in the UK it's hard to get the doc to give any benzos) so I can't blame meds for high bp but I...
Thanks scaredy cat! I have taken a couple of reading this evening and it has dropped to 118/85 ish, so the asistolic. Reading is still in the realms of prehypertention but most of the day it's...
You are a star and a trooper, it's not easy to put your game face on when actually inside you are a complete mess. You are a soldier and can deal with this, just remember to breath and remind...
Your right..this is an amazing place with amazing people. And welcome 😄...
Just a quick hello as I haven't been around in a while. I feel terrible that I haven't said hi for so long but my better half has been so unwell that all my focus has been on her. She has been...
Update: Been to doc's and had an ecg and everything is ok with my heart so onwards and upward. Thanx again for the support everyone. In one way I'm so happy to get the all clear but in another kinda...
I am grateful to everyone on this forum as it does somewhat help to know others have been through the same things. I can normally get through ok but this started at about 8am and it is now half nine...
Thanks for your concern fox, I won't do anything silly even though I feel like it. I actually haven't had any straight answer from the doc and he immediately passed me off as having anxiety and gave...
I'm struggling guys..this thing has nearly beaten me! Over the last week or so I have been feeling not to bad on the whole but today woke up feeling like carp and all day today have been on the verge...
Feeling like there is no end in sight! I know this feeling but as you probably know oh too well, when you have any kind of chronic illness. ..you get peaks and troughs. Right know your feeling Ill...
I'm glad you kinda got through it, try to take something away from this attack and next time remind yourself that you had this attack and how bad you felt but also nothing bad happened and you were...
Good to see your going back to work! Once you get over the initial anxiety, I'm sure you'll do great😄 I'm going to say the same as the others and say wait to take it! You can take it any time, you...
Sorry to hear this and it really won't seem like it now but I promise it will get better. Grief is a weird thing and it hits everyone different but nevertheless, in time. It will. Get better 💛...
Haha just noticed I have written much the same as toomuchanxiaty 😄...
I feel your pain! I think it's a common thing for people who suffer from anxiety attacks for a prolonged period to develop this. I'm not sure how everyone else deals with this but I find that not...
I have health anxiaty and is normally associated with my heart but recently I have felt a slight tingling sensation on the left side of my head and as I have felt it more than once now, I am starting...
Sorry to hear that your anxiety came back! When you have suffered with it and you get a period of no attacks it's so nice. Being able to even forget about it is amazing, but then it comes back and...
I'm still feeling a bit dodgy Deborah but I always do for some hours after an episode, so yeah I guess I am thanks 😊...
Ok so here's the deal! Not many people I know actually know of the anxiety problems I have and I'm at the point where I'm going to open my life up. I have found that talking about my problems with...
Thanks for the helpful links scaredy cat. Will read through em 👍...
@ billybolonga My dept manager knows that I have been having anxiety and attacks but I don't really think he or anyone I directly work with understand what this really means and although I have been...
😁...
Kinda got myself together enough to get myself through and will be finished work in about an hour so even though I don't feel great, at least I will have won this round and it didn't beat me. ☺...
Trying 😰...
Ok so it's 14:05 here in the UK and have started to have an attack! All the same symptoms as usual. ..feeling dizzy, can't breathe, pains in left side....you all know how it goes, just trying to get...
@ mommy Well I don't know if you can relate to me or not as it's not exactly the same for me but ever since my mum died of a heart attack some years ago I have had anxiety about my heart, it's only...
It,s 07:30am here on the UK right now and I'm ready for work and about to leave. ...hope it's an attack free day today! That little bout I had last night lasted 4 hours and left me feeling drained...
Starting to calm a bit but still have pains and I can feel my pulse in my hands...but still, I'm on the mend. Thanx again guys 💗...
My only family that I can turn to is my lovely girlfriend, the only thing is though is she has health issues of her own right now and she is supportive but I don't think she really understands too...
All your replies are much welcomed and it does help a great deal to talk to people who understand. Love you guys....
I had these attacks about seven years ago when my mum got diagnosed with heart problems and diabetes but wasn't too bad and then it surfaced about 3 years ago when mum died of stroke/heart attack and...
Nth I have no coping skills and I was given an ecg many years ago but nothing since. But I'm gathering that if it was anything nasty I would have been a gonner months ago as this happens every day. I...
Was given propranolol and I tried it for two days but this just increased my anxiety due to the very bad side effects and then they gave me atenolol but the same thing happened due to it being more...
I have been told and have read many places that attacks only Last 20-30 mins but mine seem to last hours...is this the same for anybody else?...
Chest pains again and all down my left side...week feeling in my arm and leg..feeling faint blurry vision starting to feel tummy pains too. Can't get away from myself 😰...
Don't know how much more I can take, been feeling like there is no way out or end in sight. Will there ever be an end to this? Tired of not sleeping well and waking several times a night to these...
@billybolonga I am feeling much the same and I'm trying to talk myself around and just keep telling myself that it is an anxiety attack and I'm not dying, I know it is easier said than done but just...
I can relate to that description cianna, I may use that in the future...
The feeling of impending doom! At the moment I'm having a very long bout of anxiaty, I can be clear of it for months at a time but at the moment I'm in a six month rut and counting, for some reason...
I think it's quite different for a lot of people but mine normally comes on so gradually but sometimes it starts with a sudden bang in my chest and then I'll start to worry about my heart and it can...
First off I will say I'm sorry you had to deal with all that past stuff and secondly anxiety is a nightmare all of its own. I can't begin to understand what you went or are going through as your...
I just noticed that you said you feel ashamed but don't. What is happening to you is a very real thing and only someone that suffers from this can know what you go through. Its not just all in your...
I too get woken from my sleep, normally with a quick pound from my heart and then I know it's on the way. It's so easy to trick yourself into thinking something bad is going on and then like I said...
I'd just like to say that apart from the leaky valve, you sound the same as me, it's great to know your not alone and reading other people's posts really helps with being able to talk yourself around...
