S'inquiéter des attaques de panique

Je n'ai jamais eu de problèmes médicaux, mais il y a un mois, à cause d'une infection, j'ai été emmené à l'hôpital pour un problème cardiaque qui a été très rapidement résolu. Cependant, ma vie a changé du jour au lendemain. J'ai maintenant été confronté au trouble panique. Pour moi, c'est totalement handicapant, je suis passé d'une personne sociable et enjouée à quelqu'un qui a du mal à quitter la maison ou à rester seul. Je n'arrive pas à imaginer comment je vais pouvoir m'en sortir. On m'a prescrit 40 mg de propranolol jusqu'à trois fois par jour.

I am so sorry. I know it is very difficult. You will get better with time. Be patient, get help, and know you are not alone.

Merci ! Je fais vraiment de mon mieux, j'essaie de sortir de la maison autant que je peux, je trouve que moins je fais, pire je suis. Il me semble avoir des jours incroyables quand je pense que tout est parti et puis le lendemain, je peux être de retour à la case départ. Est-ce la même chose pour les autres ?

I'm so sorry you're going through this. Try and take calm from the fact you are not alone and most of us on this forum have experienced the things you are going through. We are all in this anxiety thing together!

I had a panic attack just over a month ago and since then I've been on edge all the time. Some of the symptoms come back like the heart palpatations and weird chest pain feeling and the nausea! I try and do breathing exercises, I have been put on a low dose of anti depressants and have been referred for counselling. We have to remember that we are doing the right things by getting help and talking about our anxiety. We have to start somewhere. Keep going! ❤️

Hi.glad your posting asking for advice . I started with panic attacks years ago,have had anxiety for years, mind racing, can't stop worrying ,scared to go out thinking I'd bump into people and not come across well or they may notice my nerves. Been in blind panics before or just spend hours going over things in my head. When I finally broke down at doctors I started to get help. Mum pushed me to get out of house, doctor prescribed small meds and therapy , and it's just so reasuring that we're not alone . Lots of people out here suffering from panic and anxiety and so helpful to talk and ask advice on how to cope. So scary having anxiety or panic attacks but over the years I now know they will pass, just such a scary feeling. Keep talking , talkbhere anytime if need reassurance , your not alone and hope your doctor can help, mine is great , I just had to explain exactly how I felt ❤️

Hi there

The worst thing you can do at this point of time is to panic about your anxiety. This would create a vicious trap which would be hard to break.

Continue taking your medications and try focussed breathing or progressive muscle relaxation exercise. This would calm your nerves.

Take care
