Hi glossy girl, aw im so glad the doctors took you seriously and your getting some help :hug:
I suffered my first major attack a week ago on Friday. I must say it was one the scariest things I've ever experienced.
I have always suffered from very very minor ones, so small they probably wouldn't be classed as a panic attack, like i'll wake up in the middle of the night with palpitations, very fast racing heart, very hot and feeling very panicked, never been sure what would have brought them on. Also sometimes when i'm at home they can come on i start to feel panicky and again theres never really a good reason as to why....
But on that Friday I went out drinking with some friends and admitly i drank too much. I drank a lot of redbulls and now i realise that the caffeine and the sugar must have set me off. I did feel very strange that morning, i went very hot and my heart was racing but it went, i forgot all about it, if i remembered i may have thought more about what i was drinking, but hindsight is a wonderful thing lol
Anyway i basically fealty like i couldn't breather, i was hanging my body right out of the window trying as hard as i could to get cold air into my throat and lungs but it felt like it wasn't going in. My friend had to call out the paramedics as i wasn't responding to them, all i remember thinking is i cant control my breathing!whats happening to me!
The paramedics cane, they eventually managed to sort me out, they done an ecg on me, took a tiny blood sample but said i was fine. I have also been to the docs in the past about this a few times but nothing is ever detected.....?
But i strongly agree with you that bottling up your problems is a huge contributor to the problem. I am awful at talking about my problems, like you i never do as i don't want to feel like i'm a moaner or a drama queen but also i find it very hard as a lot of trust has been broken in the past with this type of thing.
I think the attack i had was basically all my problems im having at the min is in my head fuelled by the alcohol- mixture for disaster right?
I would advise to air your problems out but i know myself and if your anything ilk eme you wont lol, but thats why i love this site so much as i have and will again ask the geeks on here about my problems and its actually better for me personally to ask on here than ask people i've known for years. Funny isn't it.
Anyway i'm gabbling on now, but good on you for getting to the doc! And hopefully you will beat them- good luck! :hug:
