Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now.

Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year.

I thought about that myself Anna, but don't know enough about it to really say. I thought that intentionally slowing the heart could have possible side effects, ie. blood pressure medications, but wasn't sure of the risk. I used commonsense I guess, in that if you had high blood pressure, then the medication would do something, but if you didn't, the medication would only be treating the rapid heart rate, because the high blood pressure is not a permanent thing, and would only increase as the heart rate increases during a panic attack.

Could you tell me more about this please, because I would like to know more, and have as many facts as possible for people to make an informed decision for themselves.
