    Hi Everyone-


    I started a post on the old forum to see if anyone had tried beta blockers to help with panic. I would like to start that post again and see if I get any responses. I am thinking about taking them for a presentation I must give 4 weeks from today.


    Also, do any of you practice yoga? I absolutely love it, and I find it calming and centering. I think it is a great treatment foranxiety because it teaches one to be calm within their own skin. However, I find that when my torso is up-side-down for a long time, I get very anxious. I don't know if it is because of the head rush, because my perception of the world makes me feel off-balance (even though I am perfectly balanced, which is the conflict in my mind), OR if it is because my esophagus is up-side-down as well. I find that I have often bolt my body upright because I suddenly fear something is travelling up my esophagus, even though nothing ever is. Do any of you feel that way? And what do you do about it?


    Thanks!

    Hey Soluene,


    I LOVE YOGA - and i def reccomend it to fellow emets. i go to a weekly class and try to practice it at home too.it is so great coz it helps you focus on your breathing and helps you to relax. I havent got a problem with my torso being upside down - but i dont usually do many of those postures - coz i cant!! im so unflexible still and really should do yoga more often. I love the shoulder stand tho coz it makes me feel so full of energy!


    ref the beta blockers - i was on them for over a year and tehy did nothing to help me - if anything it got worse then. its up to you tho - they may work wonders!


    love emsxx
