Hey guys. I haven't come on here often, I used to all the time when my panic attacks were constant. I still get them but much more rarely than I used to. I've been laying in bed since 130 with my eyes closed. It is now 4 and I couldn't take it anymore. My heart is racing and my stomach is churning. My reflux has been really bad and actually I feel quite nauseous right now which can be another reason for my panic. I have terrible health anxiety and someone close to me was diagnose with cancer and I am terrified of it. I have the chills tingling in my arms, heart pounding, trouble breathing, want to cry, and major depersonalization. I just want to sleep and I don't know what to do. This has been going on for hours. Please someone help.
I just saw your post. I am usually in the morning here, and at your place is night..so, every time when u have a panic attack during night you are free to send me a message. :)
Maybe its not to bad to have some herb-based pills. I have heard for Valeriana. They can calm you and make you sleep. Of course, thats not something what you should do all the time, but its good sometimes. It cant harm, especially if u cant calm applying some other methods.
Hope you are feeling ok now.
My best to you
Prozac often eventually helps
deep slow breathing and staying relaxed helps also
