The last month or so I’ve been experiencing what I’ve ‘researched’ to be panic attacks.
The general symptoms are as follows;
– feeling of shortness of breath/struggle to get fulfilled breaths
– hand tremors (at night)
– feeling of heart palpitations (heart rate monitor indicates normal heart rate)
– facial numbness (at night)
I’ve had my heart tested (fine), xray of my lungs (fine) and generalized blood tests with nothing adverse.
Backstory: I work as a Police officer. I’ve seen my fair share of crap etc etc. I don’t have any previous mental health.
I’m waiting to get back into my gp however where I live there’s a decent wait.
In the meantime can anyone give me some feedback/opinions on their experiences with diagnosed panic attacks?
