Suffering From Panic Attacks

Hello there. My name is James Heath and I have been suffering from panic, and feel like things are going at 100mph. I can t wind down at night and frequently only have 2 to 3 hours of broken sleep on a good night. My legs are bouncing and I have tried so many different things before bed to try and relax before I go to bed. I ve tried baths an hour before sleep, reading paperback books, going to bed slightly later than normal, approximately 12 midnight to 1 am but usually feel lethargic after 10.30, making bedtime seem like a good idea at around 11pm. I don t have children but I am married and feel down and depressed because of my stressful job working in accounts. I m not in debt nor suffered any abuse and had a relatively happy upbringing until I was diagnosed with testicular cancer at 25. But after 3 lots of chemotherapy, I ve now had the official all clear after 10 years, as I m now 36. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. James Xx

Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
Diagnosis of cancer leaves great impact on patient's mind and psychology.
It actually gives psychological trauma to the patient. And if this happens in younger age, than the impact will be more severe. So same things are happening in your case too.
So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to discuss your symptoms, problems with psychiatrist and start working on it.
Newer drugs are available now which are not habit forming and better in reducing psychotic and sleep related symptoms.
So avoid stress and tension. Be relax and calm. Consult psychiatrist and discuss all these.
