Re: Panic attacks
I never used to have panic attacks,although I often felt very anxious about something,then about September last year I ha an chest / ear and eye infection, I had to put drops in my ear and eyes which made them blurry,I couldnt see I dreaded laying down or going to sleep ,then panicked at the start of my MRI scan so it had to be cancelled, I have been under my DRs and taken to Hospital a few times because I couldnt breath at night and have been told I have Asthma.I came out of Hospital a week ago after 5 days, I was put on a nebuliser several times there but they wont let me have a nebuliser at home, so I go to bed at night hoping I dont have any problems, I dont want to go back to Hospital againRe: Panic attacks

Glad you made the effort; at various times in my life I've suffered crippling panic attacks and have resorted to breathing exercises, mindfulness and other CBT techniques - all very useful.Re: Panic attacks
I'm sorry to hear how you are suffering panic attacks. I have suffered many years with panic attacks but I am so grateful that they seem to have subsided now. I still do get the odd one but I have learned how to manage them. The 2 worst panic attacks I ever had were one where i was out shopping with my niece and i had a trolley full of food, the panic came over me and the fear I felt was horrendous I just left my trolley in the middle of the supermarket and ran out, it was horrible. The other was when I had got out of my car to walk to a shop and I was walking on what I can only describe as sticky, HUGE sponges, the feeling was so scary and I'm so grateful to never had another attack like that again. I won't ever forget it though! Panic attacks are very real and can manifest themselves in a lot of different ways, all of them terribly frightening for the affected. My saviour was reading a book by Dr Claire Weekes, Self Help For Your Nerves. When I read that book I was reading about ME and it made me realise I wasn't going to die after all and it made me feel so much better just knowing that I wasn't alone.Re: Panic attacks
