I have been suffering from panic attacks since just before Christmas. I have had a couple of big panic attacks since then. Everyone kept asking me what I was worrying about to bring them on, thinking there was an underlying problem I wasn’t discussing. The only thing I was worried about was having another attack, this seemed to bring on the symptoms and then before I knew it I was having another one. I have been put on beta-blockers for my heart palpatations by the doctor who has diagnosed a heart murmour, I’ve got a hospital appointment next week to get some tests done on my heart. After reading everyone’s testimonies and seeing that my symptoms are very similar to a lot of other peoples I’m confident that there is nothing wrong with my heart and that I’ll be able to come off this medication soon. I’m waiting on my shipment of the full course material, but after reading the first few newsletters and online testimonies I’m already feeling much better and much more confident that nothing bad is going to happen to me and that if a panic attack comes on I can work through it. I’ve already seen a reduction in the number of attacks, so I’m hoping by the time I’ve read through the course material and put it into practice the attacks will all be a just a memory from a difficult period in my life. Good luck to everyone who is dealing with this, power through and things will get better!

I wanted to explain my symptoms and let everyone know this works. After the birth of my second son, bent over to give him his bottle and BOOM, out of nowhere was this stabbing pain in the center of my chest. Only lasted a second but panic set in. Rushed to the er and after testing was told reflux, but nothing about panic symptoms. Three months later was roofing a house a throwing shingles up on the roof and noticed a strange feeling in my upper chest area, panic again, same story at er, reflux. The only difference is to this day I get strange upper chest pain around 3rd rib area on both sides that feels like I can message it out. Keeps menon pins and needles all the time. Needless to say, keeps my anxiety through the roof. All this has been over a 5 yr period. Been to countless Dr.’s and can’t get a diagnosis. Heart, lungs everything checks out good. 2 months agoni ran across panic away and just reading the newsletter has helped me get through all this. Panic was trying to kreep in today and I used the 20 second rule and kicked it tale. Has anyone else experienced the same type of chest pain? Going back to Orthopedic Dr. Next week. Thank u for helping with my panic symptoms, who knows, maybe my chest pain is all panic related and it will start going away.

Hi,
I havte been having the panic a ttacks since 2 years , it had started one night when i had illegal fun drugs “hash” which i do only socialy and after that i had wine , after that my heart kept beating for 4 hours thinking that this feeling will finish soon because i have not smoked since long time , but actually it went even worse and i thought for sure i will die from the mixing of alchool and drugs.,my wife took me to hospital at 4 am ,they have done ECG and blood samples to see if it is heart attack ,but they said it is anxiety. i thought things are over and that was only because of what i have done last night. The nightmare of that day is still stuck with me, i have been on medication for the past 6 months , i do feel better but i still feel anxious when i meet new people or going out of my safe zone like long travels . i have been receiving the e-mails and i think from the first lesson i already think it will work . thanks for the help
