Hi all.
thanks for the input last night. I was still in a bit of a state this morning, no panic attack as such, just that overwhelming worry thing... It's what we call a bank holiday here, everything shuts down, so in the end, i called out of hours doctors phone line. First you talk to a nurse, who askes you specific questions, and sticks the answers into a computor. Course, with the symptoms i had, (Anxiety attack symptoms are similiar to heart attacks) Her computor kicked up, "send an ambulance". she then put me through to a doctor for a more detailed chat. In the end they both knew i was probably having a major anxienty attack. The doctor wanted to make sure though so i was sent to see a specialist within 10 minutes of the phone call. He listened to my heart, quite a few times, and said my heart was fine. He then took my blood pressure, said that was a bit high, but ok too. The thing that had done me was the pain going down my left arm, and into my hand. But the doctor said that it looked like i had injured my shoulder and that can give you pain down the left arm too. Sooo. still a bit shaken but i've taken a couple of propranolol today, which should calm me down a bit. I've been told to go to my own doctor now and have some blood tests done to check to see if my thyroid (something like that) is working ok, and of course, get this shoulder seen to,"flipping thing it is".
Best wishes
