Had A Panic Attack. Have Sinking Feeling. Weakness And Loss Of Appetite. Worry?
A couple of months ago I had a panic attack which gave me a real fright. However, I still have a sinking feeling in my chest, a feeling of anxiety and general weakness. I have lost my appetite and feel short of breath . We have a nursing sister at work who has been checking my BP regularly but no qualified doctor nearby – should I be worried, or am I just making myself worse by worrying?
