Have you spoken to your doctor about this? I think you should. You probably want to avoid medications- given you are on dialysis…the least amount of medications is the best for you. You may want to see if your hospital or clinic has a biofeedback or even a mediation class you can take. The attacks can be managed with mediation. Good luck!

I find that whenever I am in an anxious situation what I do is to close my eyes and repeat slowly over and over to myself, “calm,
calm, calm, while taking deep slow breaths. It really works for me. Try it and see if that doesn’t help.

You being on dialysis says that you have to being this up to your doc….but other than medical problems- are you watching the tv/ listening to the radio? reading? Just look at all the other people with you getting there treatment- and think to yourself- they are ok, I’m ok. talk to who ever is around you- have some visitors. you need to occupy that time w something that focuses your mind somewhere else- most dialysis center are pro-patient advocates- they should have the resources to help you out- I mean, how long have you been doing dialysis? Nobody but people who work around that field or has the treatment understands what a life changing thing it really is- so you need to get your encouragement from folks that can offer you more that “count slowly.” ” or “just think of flowers.” You need balance, and help coping with the whole thing still- so just take it one day at a time- and you find what works for you.
