Hi all.
Basically I had my biggest ever panic attack about 3 weeks ago after not having one for about 3 years. It was 5 years before that when I had my first attack.
It turns out I was just coming down with covid so I don't know if that upset my stomach and set me off. I have mostly recovered from covid now but last night I was very close to another panic attack. I somehow managed to stop it and take a propranolol which I just got prescribed.
I also got diagnosed with Autism a few days after my panic attack. So a huge panic attack, covid and an Autism diagnosis all within about 2 days!
I am hoping to find some advice from people who know what it's like. Maybe getting more exercise or eating better. Has anyone done that and found it helped or something different?
I am 36 but I am at college in my second year and it's making it difficult to study. Maybe I just need to give myself time because covid was pretty rough physically.
I have been on also on fluoxetine for about 3 years for anxiety and depression but I have taken antidepressants on and off since about 2007.
Sorry for the long post. Hopefully talking about it will help.
