Anyone had panic attack at hospital? Started by: Nicole

I have anxiety but was fine, obviously I was nervous though. Just make sure you ask the staff lots of questions to but your mind at rest xx

I had a panic attack when i had my last child (had a Caesarean). I can just remember my heart beating so fast i could hardly breathe! They had to calm me down, they were really good. Worried that will happen again in theatre and feeling really silly as like you say it is elective and its meant to be an exciting time! Sometimes i feel really vain x

Ask you PC if you can have a sedation beforehand, it’s amazing stuff and calms you down completely! I had to have some wisdom teeth out and i suffer from anxiety so they gave me sedation and i was so calm and i don’t even remember them doing it. Might help if you have to wait a while on the day! OR try rescue remedy you can buy it from health food stores like holland and barrat i used this when i took my driving test to calm me down and it really works!! Good luck hun you will be fine, just think – thousands of girls have it done every week/day you will be okay! 🙂 xxx

I suffer with extreme anxiety and I was given diazepam to calm me down just before I went to sleep! As I had tremors and the aeanathisist couldn’t get the needle in! Worked a treat! & I was fine after just extremley sleepy and docile xxx
