Anxiety - Don't panic! You can stop it…

Anxiety is a natural response to a stressful situation. Sometimes though once we've experienced it, it's difficult to stop.

Back in the 1980s I took part in some research at the Warneford Hospital in Oxford. My brain and body activity were monitored whilst was asked to hyperventilate. I experienced my breathing become erratic, difficulty to take deep breaths, my heart beat increased, my vision blurred, my mouth went dry, I felt dizzy and everything went purple, then I saw a tunnel before passing out momentarily.

So I know if anyone has had a panic attack, these are the more serious side effects you can experience.

If you're having panic attacks, or have a phobia or just find it difficult to manage your anxiety I can help. Give me a call or email me for a free consultation.

My expertise is in phobias, see about me for more details.
