I still don't know the root cause of my panic attack even after so many years.i would sleep for 3 -4 hrs only for years.I used to take medicines for piles and used to be super anxious.Felt as if hd to go washroom all the time..
It started somewhere like this.Then I was scared to go to theatres or anywhere or anywhere I feel trapped .Later I couldn't control myself when traffic signal would go red and get trapped in middle of people.Then I couldn't cross a divider and go to other side of road.I feared making mockery of myself.I stopped using vehicles.Nkw even if someone else is driving ,I do feel uneasy and feel choked on flyovers .
A dal boiling in cooker made be puke for 2 years .other boiling things also had same effect.
The day I m having fever ....I vomit even if I smell the vegetable cutting.
I used to use inhaler....not anymore.I used to do Pranayam nd I would keep breathing that way throughout months leading to lung exhaustion.
When I have panic attack....I feel I would lose control ...Before nobody wanted to accept ...there is a problem.
I and my family thought i m not making efforts to get well...It took 10 year for me to really understand .My friends who are doctors forced me to see doctor.Then no one in my family had history for it to be chronic.
So it got traced to not sleeping well.
