Hi Eddie,
Welcome to the site. Thanks for sharing your story here with us. You sound like you are preparing yourself very well. You are right, knowledge is power. Sometimes is helps just to come to the site and share your thoughts. Members here truly understand what it is like to experience feelings of panic and anxiety.
Please feel free to roam the site at your own pace. If you look to the left of the screen under "TOOLS" you will find many supportive tests. These tests are not diagnostic tools and are not a replacement or substitute for a physicians advice. The purpose of these tests is to prepare you with information that you can present to your physician. When you're finished the test, you can either print your Final Report or email it directly to your doctor.
We also have developed a Panic Program. This program is 12-weeks and involves the tools mentioned above. Each session is based on the previous session, so we strongly advise that you work slowly through the program and not jump ahead.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Casey
