Panic Attack

[anonleo]

I think I’m having a panic attack. I’m wobbly and there’s pressure on the right side of my head and the right side of my belly hurts and I’m terrified. My chest is getting pressure and I’m nauseous

Hi, anonleo. Have you had panic attacks before? Is someone with you?

[anonleo in reply to MMoth]

Yes I have and no I’m alone

[MMoth in reply to anonleo]

Lie down with your head slightly elevated. Breath. Count in your head until your breathing is regulated. Sometimes that works for me. Hugs and prayers.

[anonleo in reply to MMoth]

Have you ever felt like you had vertigo

[MMoth in reply to anonleo]

Yes

[anonleo in reply to MMoth]

It’s so uncomfortable

Hi just to reassure you a panic attack won't hurt you. I know it feels like it will but it won't. Just try and take slow deep breaths. It will pass and you will be fine.

Thankyou. I haven’t had one in weeks this one came out of nowhere 😭😭 I appreciate your reassurance

[hypercat54 in reply to anonleo]

You are welcome. I have them on odd occasion and they are awful aren't they? You will be ok though, try distraction as well.

[anonleo in reply to hypercat54]

They are. They get scary when they come out of nowhere the vertigo is still here.
