I have been a member of Anxiety Uk for many years but still haven't managed to make a local friend. It would be nice to meet up with someone for mutual support. If you live in the Northwest give me a shout . . Rose12 x

GAD with a touch of health anxiety and PTSD. whatever they call it or whatever it is, It's having panic attacks that bother me most.

Thanks for your reply : )

I have experienced bad health anxiety at times and still get the odd panic attack usually if I get chest pain it freaks me out and I panic thinking I am having a heart attack !! Horrible feeling : (

ah yes chest pains seem to be my anxieties favourite game and don't know if this is just me but my temperature sometimes seems to go through the roof which panics the life out me.

well as I blush I get really hot but that is a bit different to a temperature. I have been clammy when panicky though .

Is blushing part of your anxiety? I don't know at the time if I'm blushing or not.

yes I have a blushing phobia (erythrophobia) that is my main problem with a touch of health anxiety thrown in !!

Crazy what your mind can make your body do eh? I had an accident and about six weeks later had a full blown panic attack whilst having coffee in Manchester. Thought I was having a stroke! Can't seem to shift it now, it's definitely eased off

let me know how you get on with it. I tried it years ago which seemed to help. I had it about ten years later and it didn't second time as had some side effects so who knows why ! I dont have any medication currently.

in reply to hollow

Never let the panic attacks take over your life, listen to any advice, the most effective thing you can do is the breathing techniques they work wonders

did you get message i mucked it up

Seems there are more people in the northwest and surrounding areas that anyone ever thought. Then again i suppose there are not many people who care to admit what they are going through therefor would not state where they are. I am in the manchester area too so any local support i can give then i would be more than happy. xx
