Hello

Thank you for showing your support

So many posts unanswered would be so nice if yourself and any members that are feeling up to it would have a look and maybe a quick hello to the members that would be a lovely gesture

yes i know! ive had posts unanswered before in the past. sometimes peoples replies on here have meant so much to me and helped me through a hard time of my life. i made a friend who i met in person last year from this site!

that's to bad ive had them almost daily for 7 months and it just hit me out of the blue one day. I was sitting watching the sunset with my friend and I couldn't breathe. I went to er I had heart racing , puking headache, tinglyness. Then they tell me its panic attacks. how can panic attacks make you feel like your dying like a heart attack. now I get them all the time and I don't feel like I have anxiety. I could just be on counch or at computer then all of a sudden im a wreck. its the chest tightness that is hard for me and the painful left arm

Unfortunately that's how it works; you get one then your body learns how to feel that way again. Have you ever tried using abdominal breathing when you feel the chest tightness? I know that when I get that feeling where my breathing feels constricted it's a relief to breath by expanding my stomach instead of my tight chest. Also breathing into your abdomen allows your lower lungs to expand more for better oxygen supply (there's a ton of blood vessels in the lower lungs to circulate more oxygen).

another great cure is to breathe into a paper bag to get your oxygen and breathing sorted.

I assume you have gone to your GP for a health check and they have assured you that all is well with you. It sounds like you are very stressed and this is the most likely cause of it.

Well, yes, I do really feel alone... I am far away from my Family and real friends. Most of the time I feel like something teasing me, something irritating (Peevish). I cannot control this feeling. I want to shout, but I am quiet bearing everything.

Thanks for your support. That's a great effort.

I tried the breathing it didn't really help only Zoloft did but I don't really want to go on that again. it makes you really tired
