    Gemma,

    As we are not medical we cannot advise you but it seems like panic attacks go to your Docs first get him to sort you out.  Once you know you have nothing wrong and it could be bought on by panics you can go from there but please see Doc first to put mind at ease let us know when you have seen Doc Good luck Win and take a sweet for dry mouth xx  or water xx Good luck at Docs

    Well they will sort you out, don't be afraid I go up Hospital every year and they just talk to me when I let them get a word in ha ha

    Just tell them how you feel and can you get better quicker without pills.

    My advice to you once you have had check up is to live life to the full and do not let anyone or stress get to you xx

    Now go and turn the corners of your mouth upwards towards your eyes, come on try it bigger smile ..no bigger..come on smile now tell me how you feel when you smile ? and also sing it helps also xx Happy songs only xx  Go get them girl xxx

      Gemma my Daughter gets a dry mouth and panic attacks, she went to the Docs and she said your heart is fine and told her the more you stress the worse it becomes, she skipped out of the Docs all happy.  She still gets them and doesn't like eating out and dry mouth etc. but she knows if she panics it gets worse so she keeps her mints at hand and bottle of water.  I tell her to smile and she goes "silly Mum" and smiles at me and she feels a bit better hence telling youto smile.  So how did the smile ..good luck xxxxx

      go?

    I have epilepsy had it since 14 puberty, you would know if you had epilepsy trust me.  I think your panic attacks are causing you to pass out but see a medical expert as I am no expert.  So get it sorted and go from there.

    You are seeing him net week aren't you? so hang on and do not stress yourself as stress is bad for everyone, sing happy songs and try the smile thing and talk to the Hospital about it they will sort it out for you.

    Promise me you will cheer up and not panic laugh sing and live life to the full xx Good Luck Emma ..I am away for a while so no panicking xx

    Win xx xx Tell me how you got on and don't worry xx If I dont worry there is no need for you to worry or panic xxxx

    Hi Gemma! I was 25 when I started having the very same symptoms as you've described, it's very scary! I trust you've been to your hospital appt! Hope it put your mind at rest a little, no doubt you need an MRI, eeg, ecg maybe depending. I have petite mal (absent) seizures. I'm now 41 and live a normal life thanks to a little help from meds of course! You'll get there lovely 😉

      I totally understand your scared hun! But really try not to as it wont help your episodes or your panic attacks sweet, stay strong and positive for your children, that's what helped get me through it all! Google complex partial seizures, and absent seizures, knowledge is key! You may not even have epilepsy but it may help to have a read. I actually have complex partial seizures, originally diagnosed as petit mal seizures, I also couldn't drive untl fit free for a year, it took 3yrs to find the right meds for me and I still take them to this day, but don't go off of my circumstances as were all different hun! Just wanted to reassure you a bit, as neurology has moved on so much since I was diagnosed! Stay strong and positive (easier said than done I know) but stress won't help you!!!! Remind yourself of that plz. Ride the waves and please try not to let it spoil your holiday!! If it help's you I'm happy to talk, I didn't have that and needed it. Stay strong! X
