I have been suffering from anxiety/panic attacks for over 12 year. I would love to discuss more with people suffering from the same thing. We can help each other out and hopefully beat this thing. I am tired of feeling this way!

I use to suffer from panic attacks and belive me I feel for you. There is little in this life worse than this. I no longer suffer from these and what I did was, when I would feel the start of one coming on I would pray. I would ask God to help me through it. I would keep repeating the same thing over and over again until it passed. This reduced the length of the attacks and helped me through them. I also looked for the source what seemed to be happening when they happened. I usually work up with them when the furnace would kick on or other noise that would wake my subconsious being. I realized that I had a sugnificant fear of not being able to reach my children if there was a fire and they were between me and the furnace. We moved from that home. Also I started a regiment of supplements, including B-complex. It really helped. Best wishes to you.

thank you for your support! I am going to look into the B-complex and hopefully it helps me. Two weeks ago my primary doctor sent me to a cardiologist because he found my heart rate extremely high. I had to put on an event monitor, this is a monitor that records your heart rhythm for 15 days. Everytime you feel anything weird you press a button. I go tomorrow to find out the results. Wish me luck!

I've had it in the past. I've taken up Yoga and excercise to help. I use to not want to step out the front door because of the anxiety and especially not drive. I had a friend that had anxiety so bad she went to the hopsital...Talk to your doctor if you haven't aleady.
