I just started doing yoga yesterday to help myself too. I INSTANTLY felt better afterwards. Do you have lots of aches and pains? It will really help with muscle tension.
Breathing through your mouth will explain your dizziness and breathlessness. When you're anxious you OVERBREATHE. You feel like you can't get enough air so you take in bigger and bigger gasps to try counteract it. Although it's the exact opposite that you need. You need to calm your breathing down, try hold your breath for a couple of seconds then breathe in only through your nose, let it out through your mouth.
I tried hypnosis too, I was too anxious for t though.. Haha.
But yeah, things do get better mate. Once you stop fighting it. I bet you have rolling thoughts that 'oh man it's gonna happen now I'm gonna have a stroke' right? Then you sit and wait for it... And guess what.. It never happens. So why you fighting it. It's not gonna happen. For one, you're very very young for that to happen. Risk age is 50+ for 2, it's NOT happened after many episodes of you thinking it will...
Tell me about talking therapies you've done? Have you got a therapist?

Bang on, I think I'm havng a stroke about 20 times a day, it's annoying because deep down i Know im not, although with high blood pressure it is a possibilty and i refuse to take my meds becauase they make me feel worse. i have Lisinopril 5Mg i take on and off only when i am really really stressing purely because it does lower my bp, i know ive just contridicted my self there haha i very rarely take them would have been better way to word it. I don't have a therapist, do you think it would help? a doctor did reccomend it to me but i never got round to it to be honest, thought that would confirm i was crazy if i did.

If you have high blood pressure take your meds. Lol. Silly not too. Sort your diet out, get some green tea too. Drink LOADS of water too, hydration will make you feel loads better. Yeah, I'm not sure what Scotland's mental health service is like, but definitely do some therapy. I'm doing exposure therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy right now. (Been doing it for a month, been off work for a month too.) I'm gonna go to bed now, I private messaged you though, so if you wanna chat more tomorrow let me know. Keep strong pal 👏

Alcohol is like pouring a depression pill down your throat...I was in the same despair you are in a month ago...and seriously...just with the change of me stopping drinking...I am more "normal".
Also alcohol is like caffiene.....its drains your body of the fluids. I entered the hospital a month ago...because of drinking and not eating...and I needed SEVEN Intraveneous bags for FLUID replacement.
Especially if you drink coffe as well. I have a sister....who drinks..and ONLY drinks coffee during the day...and she was having the SAME symptoms as you....
She won't stop drinking...but she agreed to add 2-3 8 oz bottles of water a day...I check on her everyday and she is feeling BETTER now. SHE IS AMAZED that a little thing like water helped so much.
All the Drs tell me to drink water too....If you want your life back...start thinking about adding water to your diet...start thinking about cutting down on alcohol ...better yet quitting....and I promise your anxiety will subside.
Its a tough thing to stop...but all it is doing is depressing you more, making you sicker and raising your anxiety.
I'm sorry you are suffering.....
