Hi,
I’m 37 years old and have recently experienced lightheadedness, feeling unbalanced and after 4 days, panic attacks. After 2 weeks of those symptoms, I then began experiencing a tight chest constantly and often found it difficult to draw a deep breath. To do so, I had to change position. At night, Id fall asleep, then immediately wake-up in shock, in the midst of a panic attack.I’ve had many sleepless nights as a result.
I’ve been prescribed 10mg of citalopram. I’m now on day 6. All the above symptoms remain apart from panic attacks. I feel very tired, twitchy, often close to a panic attack, but never materialises.
This whole thing came out of nowhere. I’ve never suffered from anxiety or depression. Is this really what it is?
Has anyone else experience similar symptoms?
When will it all end?
I’d appreciate anyone’s input. Thanks, in advance!
