i then started gettin really bad at the end of 2004 and since then they dont seem 2 go away.
i get severe anxiety and worry about absoloutly everything i hyperventilate al the time and get really tight chest and palpitations. i constantly feel like i cant breathe and take deep breaths properly,every morning i wake up and my chest is really tight and heavy and cant breathe properly and i have trouble sleeping bcoz of it.
i have been 2 the hospital and my gp several times and have had ambulances out also i have been on anti-depressents beta blockers and seen various counsellers and tried hypnotherapy which seemed 2 work 4 a little wile then stopped.
i have now been prescribed citalopram which i have yet 2 start takin and diazapan which i am nervous about takin as i got side effects with my other tablets which made me panic even more.
