Hi Sheffield,

It's horrible, love. What yr describing still sounds like panic though. Everything is just so magnified at night and the more tired you become the more unreal and disturbing you find it. I don't really have panic attacks during the day but get a lot at night if I'm over stretched and overvtired. It's the worst thing because you're just too tired to deal with it.

Don't know if this helps but you're not on yr own with this.xxx

Hi hun - so sorry you felt so awful, and as Lizard says, everything seems worse at night. What you describe as "no air to breath" sounds like hyperventilating - I know it sounds topsy turvy, but you're probably actually breathing in TOO MUCH air -oxygen - this decreases the carbon dioxide in your blood, leading to a lot of the weird feelings - tingling, palpitations, muscle cramps, light headedness, etc: One trick is to hold a paper (NOT a plastic lol) bag over your nose and mouth and breathe in and out into that, inflating it like a balloon - this rebalances the carbon dioxide in your blood. You do have to do it for a while - and if you can't stand the paper bag over your mouth etc, just cup your hands over your nose and mouth and breathe like that. The other way is to breathe out SLOWLY - purse your lips and breathe out as if you were whistling, or blowing on a cup of tea to cool it. Some people advocate humming - never tried it, but worth a try!

Sorry, not sure I've explained it very well

Dear Sheffield,

I am sorry to read that you are having a tough time at the moment.

On an NHS website(panic disorder)i it describes a symptom called 'depersonalisation' which means as it reads in the article 'During a panic attack......you may feel detached from the situation, from your body and from your surroundings. It can almost feel as if you are an observer, making the situation seem very unreal'.

I am unsure whether this is what you have experienced. Your GP is the best person to ask if you are unsure.

warmest regards,

Marcus xxx
