Anxiety And Stress Posted: 02-27-07 05:53am


i am off work at present as i had a panic attack in work after being stressed. since then i am suffering from chest pain, pins and needles in my chest and palpations mainly at night and i cannot sleep, is there anything i could take at bedtime to stop this awful feeling. i am never off sick but have a busy home lift with 3 kids and driving everywhere and a full time job as a medical sec, my husband works away a lot so i get the brunt of the work at home too, i am desperate to get back to work next week but come morning when i have dropped kids off just want to climb back in back, i have been off now for three weeks and my doctor is happy for me to stay off more any suggestions should i fight this and get back to work or am i not ready, please advise. this feeling in my chest is awful, i have had an ecg recently and that was ok, my cholesterol is high though at 7.8. and bp has been up too.

Welcome to ehealth. Personally I would take more time off work if thats what your dr thinks you need. You dont want to rush back into things and nothing has been solved. I dont know about any meds to help. you would have to talk to your dr about that one. Have you tried excersizing? sometimes that can help with anxiety, stress, depression. But dont jump back into work until you are sure your ready to handle it
