tinkerbell23, Its awful I know.

Try breathing/inhaling in and out quickly into a paper bag or similar keeping outside air out a few times, it does help and if it gets really bad see your Doc.

Its very common, I suffered it for years but, it does get better I can assure you,
Good luck

[bunkmoreland]

no reason to feel stupid! you are having a genuine trauma time , feel free to be as freaked as is completely normal!

[tinkerbell23]

Thank you TRT i try to reason with myself but it just kept escalating tonight- docs tomorrow i think- scared of what theyll say or do but they were nice before and gave me beta blockers...theyre ok but if its springing on me when il flippin sleeping how can i take them (its as and when i need them)

Thanks BM....i just have very little problems compared to some people and a nice life which makes me feel all the worse that im acting this way x

[bunkmoreland]

if you take beta blockers daily,they take the edge off,and you'll prob find they help you feel able to deal with stuff. but,you must take them daily.like a vitamin

Its all the worry of choosing a new Avatar and keeping us all on tenterthingies!

tinkerbell23,
Its nothing to do with personal problems, you could be the happiest person in the world and you can still get panic attacks.

One thing I forgot to mention is, try not to drink any alcohol for a few days, that's if you do of course and keep breathing into a bag.

Believe me I have experienced this!

[tinkerbell23]

I was told to take as and when...so mabye theyll review that!!!

I know shoota i have to get on that laptop and change it and some other things x

[shoota]

I liked the one with the bottle looking a bit louche.....

[tinkerbell23]

Me too hehe x
