Hello everyone! This is one of my first Reddit posts so I’m sorry if I’m not doing it right. I recently got diagnosed with panic disorder after a particular bad panic attack which made me drive myself to the hospital. This was about 3-4 months ago. Ever since then my left side has been numb and tingly. And I’ve become obsessed with checking my blood pressure. I’m always convinced I’m having a heart attack. My friends and family are tired as I tend to have 6-7 panic attacks a day that come in waves and last hours sometimes. Im at a loss for what to do. I’ve noticed that when I drink even the slightest bit of alcohol the rest of the week is just panic attack central. My psychiatrist diagnosed me with both generalized anxiety disorder as well as panic disorder and has put me on Prozac. I have horrible medical anxiety and I’m too scared to take the meds. Does anyone have any advice about what I could do and what worked for them?
