Hi guys! So I have cfs and recently my panic attacks have got worse. Does anyone else suffer with this whilst having cfs and the rest of the other symptoms. I just have not been able to go to sleep instead I just nod off then I jerk and wake up in a panic my breathing is fast and it takes me time to slow it down. Can anyone help?
Hiya I'm not sure what medication you are on but I had m e chronic fatigue for 5 years after a viral infection I never really got better until my sleep improved I took amattryptyline for nerve pain but it also improved my sleep there are other things that can help I would relax as much as possible and look at speaking to your go or consultant to help you good luck don't give up it took me 5 years and iam doing things I wouldn't have dreamed of
I have had that for nerve pain and I was like a zombie . Every anti depressants I take I have such bad luck that I'm scared. Thanks russ151
Hey, I had really bad anxiety and insomina leading up to my PVF and a little during. What really helped me was mindfullness meditation and CBT - My issue was also waking up during the night, but eventually this sorted out through gradual weekly improvements. I too was prescribed amitriptyline but rarely used it and really just had it as an insurance.
Hi freeme,
I have just been diagnosed PVF/CFS, panic attacks and anxiety have got really bad recently , sleep is starting to get better and taking a minor med to help me get off to sleep.
My worst symptom is the brain fog and anxiety, no pain luckily.
I try to get a good bedtime routine going, read a book, bath and mindfulness app seems to help.
How’s your progress going since last post?
