This is my first time on here I think I'm having an anxiety attack. I'm having palpitations, breathlessness, shaky and got the runs. Iv taken kalms yesterday and today for the first time and I feel terrible tonight. Could it be that?

I wouldn't imagine it would be the kalms it's more lightly to be an attack how are you now?
Still very shaky and much the same. I'm not sure how to control it or calm myself down?
I have lots of these and sometimes I struggle to get out of them too
Try telling the attack to "do its worst" lay there and literally not care don't fight it and let it ride over you, I find when I fight it it becomes much stronger in order to fight me back but when I let it ride over me it goes away because there's no fight there ☺ it can't harm you although it feels very much like either can, keep in mind it's only an attack and so so many people have them and no harm comes to them and it won't to you either 😊
Thank you I'll try that! It's so scary it feels like it could take over completely I wish I could fall asleep and get away from it all. Thank you for replying. Xxx
Ah I know hun I have so many of these awful attacks and have for years and every one is just as scary as the last one but they never hurt you they just try to scare you into thinking they can but their weak and you're not 😊 no problem hun I'm here if you need some help anytime 😊 xxx
Thank you so much. Think it's slowly going away my breathing is slowly returning to normal but still feel jittery. It's so good to find a place you don't feel out of place or silly talking about stuff xx
No problem hun I'm glad you're feeling a bit better 😊ah it's a brilliant place with really friendly and helpful people it's been a god send to me many times, you'll feel better knowing you're not alone and help is at hand 😊 xxx
Definately. It's scarier at night cos u feel alone and vulnerable an that makes it worse. Thanks so much I'm so glad I found this xxx
Very true hun I'm always worse at night too 😢 ah no problem you'll feel safer now you're here 👍 xxx
Yeah I will. Do you feel sick when u get one? I feel like that during it or before it comes on an it makes me panic more
Yea sometimes I do and I panic too because I have a fear of being sick so it intensifies the attack 😩 xx

If your "kalms" are not prescribed, be extremely careful. Theses chemicals are not to play around with. See your doctor and take the medication - either anxiolytics or antidepressants or both regularly - strictly according to your doctor's prescription. NEVER change the dose yourself - it may cause your death or otherwise addiction.
I highly recommend Bach Day Rescue Remedy - I tried it thinking it would do nothing being made from flower essences - how wrong I was! An absolute lifesaver - non-chemical and non-addictive! Try it and see! I also tried Kalms but they had the opposite effect on me.
