Hello allAbout 9 months ago i was working away and i had this heart
thing happen to me,i was sent to the medical station were they did a ECG
and everything was fine,but i wasn't convinced so i went to hospital and
they said the same thing.So i went back to work but had this feeling in
the back of my head that it could happen again which was kind of
scary,as the weeks went on i noticed that i was constantly thinking
about it especially when i was in bed at night were i was transfixed on
my heart.Then i noticed that i would get these rushes that would really
scare me,but i continued on as men do until after xmas where i had this
full on panic attack,then after that it seemed to be all down hill,i was
having panic attacks all the time and felt scared.When i went to the
doctor and told him he said to go on antidepressants which i did,i have
experienced antidepressants before due to relationship break ups so i
thought sweet these things will kick in and work, problem solved,but
they didn't work,by this stage it was impacting
everything,work,family,life in general,i was really starting to worry
until i found some meds that started to work 80% of the time but still
used these little white tablets (benzodiazepine),talk about a life
saver.But i don't like taking pills so i continued getting better and
slowly getting of the little pills,everything was mostly fine until i
got sick over seas then i got pneumonia in the space of a month,i was so
run down but luckily for me work had given all of us a month off waiting
for the next job,so i was in bed for about 3 weeks.After i started
getting well i noticed that the anxiety was back and was really starting
to scare me and i thought that i was going to have to go threw this all
again,it has only been about 2 weeks of me getting better but i am back
on those white pills and worried that i might be on them for a while,so
i thought i would join beyond blue and see if people could answer a
couple of questions for me.ps i have found a good psychologist but i
have only been twice1 what drugs do people recommend i am on a SNRI2 can
this type of anxiety be beaten3 outside of drugs what can a person do to
beat thisAny help would be greatly appreciatedSincerely ////////
