Close Anxiety
i have been an anxiety sufferer all my life when i think back but nothing that would need medication to control. since having thyroid cancer 3 years ago i have been getting bouts of anxiety. i normally get a 3 or so month gap then get an attack which will usually last 8 weeks or so. then it will be gone for months again. i get many sympoms ranging fron headaches to pallpitations to panic attacks to muscle aches.. and many any more!have taken proprananol and diazapam and both have been effective
Treatments

- to try breathing properly .. its hard when the anxiety is at its peak, but works in the short term
- Breathwork Working / Worked

Treatments
