Hello @Recoveringrob Pleased to meet you.
Thank you for joining and sharing.
Thank you to my fantastic friend for mentioning me @chiarieds
Sorry to hear that you having panic attacks and lots of anxiety.
The symptoms you describe are known as fear or fight.
Very common in those with anxiety and I can help you here with lots of advice some guidance and information to give you a lot of reassurance.
Fear of fight the stomach chest and throat began in ancient times with wild animals about as we as human defences left open.
We have this today can be frightening and scary.
Known some to phone for ambulance fears heart attack.
They will subside if I can inform.
Please if I can add always something causes it can be past histories events are memory recalling in our psyche our brains have triggers.
Can be dormant for years.
One piece of advice can add is diet and nutritional. Avoid Caffeine ,Tea, Coffee, Alcohol, energy drinks, Cola, Chocolate.
These are stimulants more you consume the worse your panic attacks.
Eat well balanced diet, fruit vegetables. Leafy greens whole grains bread Pasta, Rice.
Lean Meat and Fish. Pulses Beans.
Panic attacks often been a problem for me to use a lot of coping methods learnt the following mental health charities.
Looking at relaxation therapies understanding you how they can help you.
I use meditation and calming deep breathing.
Hobbies puzzles music have a selection of CD's and use Classic FM.
One other make a note a diary of when these happen what cause it.
I never had these for a long time then at once triggers flashbacks set it off. Medication helps.

Hi @pollyanna1052 it’s lovely to meet you. I’ve tried a bit of mindfulness but mainly I’ve tried a therapy called Autogenic Training. Are you aware of this? I have been to see a psychologist a few times but not tried psychotherapy. How was psychotherapy for you? Rob x

Your very welcome @recoveringrob - To start with offering your views and experience on the forum is the best way to get involved in the Online Community. There a range of topics https://community.scope.org.uk/categories/mental-health-issues and forum.
We also have Research panels https://community.scope.org.uk/discussion/65526/get-involved-with-scopes-research-panel that could be a starting point or just letting us know your views on a range of subjects in the Coffee Lounge.
@Adrian_Scope + @Richard_Scope and @Chloe_Scope may also have other ideas for you.
