    I had a 12 hr panic attack last October worse day of my life I felt so bad that I end up admitting my self into hospital they end up giving me diazepam you need to go to your gp and have a long talk with them get them to refer you to the psychiatric asap if not already done so as they need to find the cause of what's causing you to have this

    Most likely you have panic disorder. It's post anxiety attack syndrome, where "when or where next panic attack will be" thought circulates in your head.

    Can last this long and ourcanxiety won't stop bacause we don't know why it's happening for no apparent reason. We can feel fine in ourselves so worry and worry when it will go. Do sujest if this went on constantly see doc( they can help) but it may pass. Ive nearly gone mad in past with worry but then can have really good patch. Wish we understood how this can seem to flair up even if we're not worrying or feeling ok in geneeall( horrible illness) try deep brew thing, keep busy to take mind off. Talk on here anytime , I find it so reasuring??

      The waiting makes us more anxious , they should know this , spirited they didn't sujest talking to doc about mild meds to help calm . I take very few only when really Panicy and heart racing. Meds aren't the answer and I always ask people to not get too many off doc as they could take too many, they just calm me a little so I can push forward. Keep talking , it helps, don't have to feel alone, ??
