I am 33 years old, married and two kids from his previous marriage. I am from India and met my husband who is a swede while working in Ericsson. Got married n moved to Sweden and have been living here for 5 years, have a great home and job, get along great with his kids who stay with us every other week.
About a year ago I got what I thot at that time was a heart attack...severe pain in the chest and left arm, difficulty in breathing, light headeness, shivering, sweaty palms...at the hospital I heard about panik attacks for the first time....
Since then I have had 7 severe panik attacks..my like seems to be revolving around constant hospital visits and fear of having a new attack...What is really scary is that my everyday life is being hampered...its puttin a strain on my relationship....I really do not know how to get on top of this...
Being away from my family n freinds in India makes it much more difficult...it has been tough moving to another country and not having my own family here...
I am just tried of panik attacks ruling my life....found this site and thot that maybe I could find someone who would understand....each time the symptoms keep getting worse...the last one last night n my doc told me that I should start thinkin about takin medicines and talking to a psychologist...All this is so new to me that I do not know what to do.-I really do not want to take any medicines but want to try by talking to a pshychologist. IS there anyone out there who can share their personal experience with me?
