Spoke too soon!

[Lmax]

Hi everyone - I thought I was doing well up until yesterday when my breathing went into overdrive - I just couldn't slow my breathing down and was getting more and more panicked. My son came over very quickly and just having him there helped me to calm down. Eventually I was able to breathe "normally" but felt really ill. I seem to be getting all the after effects of the radiotherapy all at once - just hope they ease off a bit soon.

A panic attack can be brought on by the subconscious with out realising the cause of it. You have been through a traumatic time, so little wonder, try to relax and tell yourself that your mind is just playing tricks on you.

Thanks 2greys - managed to get through the night without waking until early morning. Still feel a bit shaky but a bit better than yesterday. Am under orders from my sons to relax and forget about doing “stuff” until I’m feeling stronger.
