Hey folks,
So, I just used my Salbutamol reliever inhaler & suddenly my heart rate was fast & going up and down a lot. I also feel shaky. Now, I know that these are common side effects but it's never happened to me before. I hadn't used it for a week almost now until this morning.
Not only that, but I got a bit light headed & had a feeling of numbness coming over me. Now that's something I recognize from the couple of times I've had a Panic Attack. Those were both whilst on drugs though & not recently, I've never had one outwith that.
I've had increased anxiety over the past couple of weeks anyway, I'm going to go ahead & guess that the side effects caused me to anxious & put me on the verge of a panic attack.
Anyone else have any experience like that? I know I've seen 1 or 2 posters mention they use inhalers recently.
On other news, I've filled out a CAARs form I was sent (Adult ADHD questionnaire), which I've sent back & am now awaiting an appointment for assessment.
I'm probably at the worst I have been anxiety wise in general for a long time since getting a cold. I felt extremely down whilst I was ill & now with these 2 hyperactive episodes I've had since, there is clearly something going on.
I really saw improvement using Vitamin D & starting Running anxiety wise a couple of months back. I think exercise helps me to keep a lid on things... haven't been able to do any for almost 2 weeks now. :(
Oh well, just have to soldier on.
