Panic attack

[Lauriem4]

Anyone get horrible hard skipped beats during a panic attack?

[Moon_B]

Unfortunately I do, you are not alone. It’s pretty scary.

[Minnie87]

Yep!but I also get these daily x

Everyday my dear, everyday. When it happens, stop what you’re doing and take time to breath. My therapist said breathe in for 5 seconds, then out for 7 seconds. The fresh air helps calm your nerves.

Yes I do... unfortunately... not a funny feeling but it will go away as soon as the attack stops.

Yes I do, its a horrible feeling. I feel like my body is filled with adrenaline and skipping beats makes it so much scarier. Do you get skipped beats during exercise?

[Lauriem4 in reply to Razmin]

Not during excercise no do you?x

[Razmin]

Yes I do, much softer and not every time. I am just thinking there is a connection when the body is filled with adrenaline

Yes Lauriem. Unfortunately for all of us who know what anxiety and depression are . It is scary and more embarrassing for me because I am a man. Hard for the society understand that mental health does not choose gender, age, race etc. Hope everything goes well with you. Even more embarrassing is that I am a mental health professional ( yes I am have a laugh) but oh well what can I do. All the best
