Hi Andy, how are you hun now??? ohh sweet take care of yourself!!! did you see a GP regarding the block with your heart?? what happened??

nervous breakdown comes from depression, you probably had panic attack dear. are you eating properly? drinking?? sleeping??? make sure you have food in your stomach (not sugar) eat five small portions a day!!

Please let me know how you doing

im a nervous wreck ,the block is nothing to worry about says the doctor but i dont belive that,been taking sleep tablets to sleep but have ran out.i have stopped smoking 4 weeks now and im eating healthier. if only i could be hypnotised into feeling the way i did when i was happy i would be happy x

Hi Andy

I know shaking hands in supermarket it s not good!but it s your body reaction maybe to fear?crowded spaces?get more sleeping tablets and look after yourself.it takes time ti get better and you will,just keep going to your doctor to try to resolve thus issue or go for a second opinion if u don t trust the first one.i m having the same reaction on public transport and I had a breakdown too..but look at life cause you will get better even when u think u will never go anywhere.let me know how u doing ..take care

Hi andy, I've been exactly the same recently, finished up at hospital on Wednesday with massive palpitations, heart was all over the place, was shaking, hot, cold, dizzy, they did all the heart tests which settled my mind, I knew it was a massive panic attack, had them for years but this was the worst. Doctors been messing with my tablets went from citalopram to amitriptelene, massive side effects made me worse. Now I've had to stop them and go back onto the citalopram and they need time to get into the system so in one major anxiety attack. It's been continual since Wednesday, I can't leave the house, pains all over and every pain I think the worst. We need plenty of relaxation, try a free hypnotherapy panic attach download, they help u to relax , it is so hard I've had panic attacks fo r over 30 years and these seen the biggest. Worth speaking to a doctor, at long last I'm being sent to see a psychiatrist, he's mentioned antipsychotic drugs which calm the horrid thoughts that cause panic,hoping these work. Hope you are feeling better today. Remember you are not alone and we can get though this.x
