Either this is true and therefore you should obviously be getting professional medical help asap rather than posting on here. Plus this thread can be used to score points next time you are pointing out how much better you are than everyone else.
Or it's not serious and you're therefore both throwing logs on the Suity is a hypochondriac attention seeker who makes stuff up fire and you're belittling a serious condition which won't help your cause either.
Option 1 bad for suity IRL, not too bad for suity the cukker
Option 2 good for suity IRL, bad for suity the cukker.
Which is it? Inquiring minds need to know.
Suity is just getting a headstart for next year's CUK'ker awards. He's lying the foundations for Best Thread atm.
I am sure there will be others. I really can't waitComment

Originally posted by suityou01 View PostI've got this mate who's a contractor. He's not normally prone to panic attacks but of late he's had a few.
He works away a lot, and has a young family, so naturally he worries about his health. Not much of a gym junky, but of late he's been hitting the gym a lot and has lost quite a bit of weight and looks much slimmer and is clearly a lot fitter.
He has to watch his blood pressure a bit as this has been diagnosed as grade 1 hypertension, but a mild dose of a bp med keeps it in check generally.
Last night he calls be as suddenly his BP has spiked. Quite high in fact. I told him to try and calm down, meditate and just generally chill. He did this and it eventually came back down to normal levels.
It surprised me just how powerful an effect a panic attack can have on blood pressure. I told him to go back to the quacks and see what the doctor can prescribe to balance him out a bit, but he seems reluctant.
Anyone on here suffer from panic attacks? How do you keep them in check? Medication? Yoga? Zen?Comment
