Hey thanks folks, for all the responses and sharing. Very nice of you to take the time. I've had some pretty bad experiences with anxiety and with the help of meds and lately this forum things are good. I'm not a good writer and it really takes me time to formulate a response sometimes, especially on this topic as so much has happened in the past it's sometimes hard to put into words to remotely come close what was actually felt during an attack. Just saying wish I was better at this, sometimes because anxiety can be pure HELL and I'd like to better express my experience.
A doc once told me my attacks will feel worse than death and in some cases and he was correct. Some time back I looked at my medical records and saw the check in symptoms, what the nurse writes down: Two intake forms say-- QUOTE: I FEEL LIKE I'M DYING............ Those were my words. FYI this was before I met the doctor just mentioned. This is a nasty ailment and wouldn't wish it upon anyone. While not life threatening in most cases there's tremendous suffering, in my experience.....

Thanks for the post,
Not saying it's a good thing but kinda nice to know that someone has had similar symptoms to mine. I've had road issues as well and the were never good as you have to deal with the vehicle and anxiety at the same time and that just exacerbates the situation bigtime! One day I was driving and was struck down by a heavy attack, luckily the next few freeway exits was the ER room. I swear to god I BARELY made it to the front door, then some nurses or EMT's rushed over and threw me on a gernie!!!! Was a very bad day but they were my hero's! Definately needed help that day!
Thank you for sharing!
