The fast breathing, heavy feeling in chest, dizziness well you know how it goes.
I was then called into the room for my tests. Now I could have kept quiet about having a panic attack but I thought well why should I. So I told the nurse and she asked did I want to continue, expecting me to say no, I said yes.
The other nurse in the room thought I should reschedule the appointment as she would not carry out the test on an anxious person. I politely reminded her that this was my decision and I am sure most patients they see are anxious or nervous.
That got a giggle from the other nurse lol.
I had my blood taken and that was that. Yes, the panic attack was still there but I got back in my mum's car and was fine. OK I felt drained but I don't care :)
