Hi Leigh...I stuffed panic attacks for years.. Really horrendous condition 😔.. I still have them occasionally and know how to manage them ☺.. They also left me with agrophobic...now this might seem a strange thing to say.. But if you learnt not to panic to much when you're having a panic attack ( told you it would sound strange).. then the better you'll handle it.. Not easy!!!..... So here's the little thing that helped me to do that and still does ( 40yrs onabd I carry it everywhere I go).. Bach rescue remedy.. You can get it from most chemists.. I get mine from boots.. Non additive.. No side effects.. All natural ☺.. Apparently they sometimes use it on heat attack patients because panicking makes the situation worse... Get it in dropper form.. Half to full dropper UNDER your tongue.. You can also put 3 or 4 drops into a glass of water and sip through the day... It won't cure them.. But it'll allow you to deal with it better.. And every time you do that, they'll get less intense... At least give it a try ☺.. I was very sceptical at first.. But never looked back and wouldn't be without it.. I only have a attack about once every couple of years these days... And always try to remember ( hard to do when you're in a full blown attack.).. Panic attacks DO NOT Kill.... ☺... I hope this will help you and you're on the mend soon ☺... All the best..

Stress can cause panic attacks if you're prone to them...I was lucky enough with my familys support to take 2 years off work to deal with the attacks... I was having up to 5 attacks a day and knew it was going to take a while to recover from this... I saw a physiotherapist twice a week.. And believe me that really helped.. I steered clear of all drugs that were offered by my GP ( antidepressants and sleeping pills).. Panic attacks won't just disappear over night.. And your work situation will only aggravate them.. I couldn't be around hardly anyone accept a few family members for quite a while.. And couldn't go out for months.. And when I did I went for a very short walk with my mum and I was scared to death.. I totally panicked because I thought the guy walking behind us was going to attack me..like I said I was fortunate to be able to take time off work and I know that might not be possible for you.. But to aid your recovery you need a lot of support, peace and quiet... I didn't do that when I first started having panic attacks which inevitably led to a mental break down.. I really hope you can get some help very soon.. But meantime get some rescue remedy.. I wish you all the luck in the world and all the best for the future ☺
