New here - just about coping with daily panic attacks

Hi - I've just joined here - I've been living in Spain for the last 5 years, moved from UK - not in work - you'd think that everything would be great, but it isn't - suffering from daily panic/anxiety about health - feel like I'm going to die from a heart attack - although I have had a complete physical in the last six months, and am in reasonable shape I can't stop the thoughts from happening as every twinge or ache could be the start of an attack! I have got some tablets from the doctor which are helping, but I don't want to be on meds all of the time - so I'm going to give the CBT program a try. Rab.

Hi Al - Is your doctor prescribing any medication for your anxiety? You must ask him/her if you are not, to see if he can give you something for the anxiety/panic attacks. I live in the south of Spain, and I presume from your "handle" that you come from Spain too? I hope you find this site useful - I have only just joined too, and have just started the program, but already I can see a trend in my anxiety attacks. Take care. Rab.
