I have been a PA sufferer for years and have noticed that in certain stressful situations I seem to have asthma (from which i genuinely suffer) symptoms. However when I check my peak flow its perfectly normal! I am shortly (1 month) to attempt (yes I know that is not a positive term!!! LOL) flight. ...

Does anyone know where to get help for HVS in the uk?

I have been trawling the internet but not really coming up with any answers.
Any ideas (please dont anyone say see your GP!!!)

As said above there were several threads about this a month or two back.
Talks a lot of common sense and has helped me......but miracle cure it aint!

Crap website!

If you have a story to tell keep it brief!

Living or being very close to people that suffer anxiety must be incredibly difficult and draining. My poor wife has put up with it for 13 years but to be frank its tough at times and its been rocky along the way. The problem is unless you have been there and experienced a panic attack you cannot ev...

I see a hypnotherapist regualrly. Has helped me enormously. Sometimes just the act of facing up to the anxiety and seeing someone can be quite exhausting and draining leaving you open to a PA so my advice (for what its worth I am no expert!!!) is dont be put off by one bad experience.

Thanks Blusher its damn hard work and really draining. After facing something like that I feel physically and emotionally drained and exhausted.
