Hi I have recently suffered an anxiety attack, (diagnosed on Friday on admittance to hospital. Felt terrible, thought I was stroking, ie: no balance, hearing,, sight, tightness of face and head, slurring of words, eyes slow to react to light, the right side seemed to be effected more. What do I do to stop it or relieve it if it happens again?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
You may want to determine what caused this particular anxiety attack. If that is not possible then you can consider the use of relaxation techinques to help reduce anxiety. This includes breathing exercises and progressive muscle relaxation.
If the attacks reoccur or you notice that you are experiencing a general increase in anxiety, you may want to consider speaking to a psychiatrist for advice.
Counselling and possible the use of medication for a time, may be needed.
I hope this helps
