checking pulse in neck

Ann, Try concentrating on your breathing instead of your pulse. It will give you something else to focus on and will lower your heart rate. Also allows you to exhert some control over your body and anxiety. Breath in through your nose, counting 1,2,3, Breath out through your mouth, counting 1,2,3, Breath in & out as deeply and slowly as you can. Do this ten times, longer if needed. Hope this helps, Danielle ___________________________ The SSC Support Team

i dont understand this

MooMoo, Keep working with your doctor and if need be, request a second opinion. Better be safe than sorry. Be sure to ask your doctor or his nurse many questions, it is his/her job to educate you about your health & your body! Danielle _______________________ The Panic Center Support Team

anxiety & sleep disorder

Richy, Welcome to the Panic Center! Start working through the program. Perhaps learning to control your anxiety will help. A few tips for sleep disturbances: * Try getting up & going to bed at the same time every night. * Exercising no less than five hours before bed may help release anxiety, tension and tire you enough before bedtime. * Consult your doctor, pharmacist or a naturopath on natural alternatives for sleep disturbances. They have a wealth of knowledge to share. Our members will be along soon to share their experiences. Keep us posted, Danielle _________________________________ The Panic Center Support Team

Afraid to leave

Hi Paula, Welcome to the Panic Center! Start working through the program it will help you deal with situations such as the one you've described. Before your appointment, try visualizing yourself getting and being at your appointment. When anxiety starts to creep in, practice challenging your anxious thoughts and keeping yourself calm through deep breathing and relaxation techniques. Keep practicing until you feel your anxiety is manageable and don't forget to bring the anxiety test to your psychologists.

STOMACH PROBELMS

Jo, Have you worked through the program? Perhaps bringing the printable version of the workbook along with you on the flight would help? Again, some members find visualization exercises helpful of the trigger. When anxiety levels rise, stop, try to challenge your thoughts & anxiety. If you don't succeed, stop and try again later. Work through the different scenarios of your flight. Could it be your stomach is acting up because of your increasing anxiety? Have you ever experienced this before? Members, Lets help this member prepare for her flight. Give her some advice based on your experiences. Danielle _____________________________ The Panic Center Support Team
