I was browsing through the reviews yesterday when I came across this subject. Now this is something that immediately struck a cord with me. I suffered from panic attacks and severe anxiety as a child through into my teens. It's not something I like to talk about as it brings all those unpleasant memories back to the surface. However when I ...  Read the complete review

I've been wondering for ages whether or not I should write about my experience here. 1. Because as anyone who has experienced such problems will know, talking about it is usually something you would rather not do. And, 2. It will be a really long review! But I thought I may as well just go for it, I have nothing to lose and maybe ...  Read the complete review

I wish I had found this website whenever I first experienced panic attacks. Often a taboo topic it isn't until you experience for yourself what anxiety and a panic attack is like that you can really empathise with fellow suffers.

****My story**** As many of you have no doubt already observed from the near nauseatingly positive tone of my reviews to date, I've always considered myself to be a fairly laid back contented soul, fully appreciative of what I've got in life and not in any way prone to anxiety , stress or the like. So quite honestly panic / ...  Read the complete review

The doctors never told me that I suffer from panic attacks but me and my friend are convinced this is what I suffer from occasionally. ***MY FIRST EXPERIENCE*** I was staying at my boyfriend's and I woke up at 3am, and I could feel my heart beating very fast and I also felt sick. My hands/fingers were really tingly and felt ...  Read the complete review

You are not alone! Before I share my ...  Read the complete review

My chest hurt so much and I was very ...  Read the complete review

About 4 months ago I admitted to both those and myself close to me that I have an anxiety problem. This may be a very long review but in it I plan to document my progression through diagnosis, the journey to getting better and what can be done about it. My particular fears began as doctors, dentists, buses, trains and small spaces. This ...  Read the complete review

I first wrote this on another review site in July, have added it to this with update.... Panic Attacks Part One Well they certainly are under-rated. I think a lot of people think of panic attacks as a nervous feeling in your tummy, or an excuse not to go or do something. Well those who have suffered know this is not the ...  Read the complete review

*THEN I have anxiety. We all get anxious from time to time, but I realised there was something wrong with me a three or four years ago when I started getting pains in my chest and losing the feeling down one side of my body. So my GP bundled me off to have a brain scan. They found one hurrah and concluded that I was having a reaction to ...  Read the complete review

At 12 years old I started to feel sick, like I was going to actually going to be sick. I thought it was just a usual stomach bug I went to the doctors, and he said yes its gastroenteritis. A couple of weeks later I went back saying it hadn?t got any better, yet again he said its probably just a nasty bug. Then a month after in which the sickness ...  Read the complete review

Panic attacks can occur at any time in your life. Usually they are triggered by major life events such as moving house, changes in relationships such as divorce, or even just a build up of stressful events over a period of time. I usually deal well with stress (or at least I thought I did) but after a few major events in my life I ...  Read the complete review

A few years ago I woke up in the middle of the night with chest pains and I couldn't breath, I was hyper-ventilating and felt dizzy and scared. My first thoughts was that I was having a heart attack. I could feel my heart beat in the back of my throat and it had speeded up to about twice the normal pace, the pain was unbearable ...  Read the complete review

Panic attacks, dizziness, breathlessness, nervousness, fear and anxiety... to name just a few of the symptoms of panic attacks.

This morning I woke up in a foul mood, shouted at my wife, who was still asleep at the time, and wasn't pleased to be woken up in such a way, stamped downstairs like a teenager, swore, hit a wall, kicked a door, stamped back upstairs, threw some clean clothes from the ironing basket onto the floor (don't ask...), stamped downstairs again, ...  Read the complete review

This is a kind of tough opinion to know how to start. The first point I would make is that it is very hard to know, from the standpoint of a 'normal' person, when someone else is having a panic attack or when you yourself are having them. For 3 weeks I thought I was having some kind of weird withdrawal symptom from drugs I will talk ...  Read the complete review
