Re: Panic
Thank you Flower, being the cup half full person i am now, i see the good in a negative situation so being able to help others in some way gives me the most gratification i get out of life and that in itself has been the best lesson to learn 😛

Re: Panic
Hi @Daisy3 go to any naturopath, the liquid drops he gave me were saffron, kava, valerian and withania. I have only started taking them though. I had awful anxiety last night and I have breathing issues. Just remember the symptoms are dangerous it's just uncomfortable and it will pass. Breathing rule 4 7 8. Breath in 4 seconds hold breath for 7 and breath out for 8

Re: Panic
@Daisy3 Just be mindful that breathing methods are diferent for all. 478 for a big set of lungs perhaps may be different for a smaller person. I work on 345 in for 3 hold for 4 our for 5i'm a small bloke though. i just don't want anyone passing out on us hehe. look up on the APP store or playstore for Anxiety or breathing Cycle apps... they will help alot in my opinion.
Another good tip for Anxiety releif.. this is good in order to distract you from the imminant anxiety attack
While Maintaining your breathing practices remain calm and to help further ground yourself
1. Live in the Moment - Don't reject it, accept it.
2. Ground yourself. 4 things you can Hear, Smell, Touch, Taste (one of each)
3. Begin Breathing Cylces reminding yourself that you are OK, Safe and not in danger.
4.5 Positive Thoughts - get into a habit of allowing the positive thoughts in while keeping them negative ones supressed.
5. Connect to a safe person (a good trustworthy work mate or friend) he/she can help with the grounding process, your Goto when things get a bit to much.

Re: Panic
That's what I've been trying to do is think to myself I'm ok it will pass and my dr told me to massage my arteriy on my neck .. Well I woke up last night with a panic attack coming on rapid heartbeat etc but I just did what he said and must have fallen asleep whilst doing it and woke this morning.. So that was a big step for me .. I'm wondering also if antidepressants can give you palpitations 🤔

Re: Panic
Excellent News Daisy ! Leaps and bounds my friend...
AD's have numerous side effects, best bet would be to google your med and check side effects that way, i have heard some can cause Paulpatations yes. however please don't allow that to prevent you taking them, you may need to converse with your dr and see if there is another type available for you.
