Hi guys, I figured what better place to ask the advice than an EMT site. I just finished up my emt-basic class, and will be taking my NREMT exam next week. I only have one issue, I have tried getting on the local ambulance (through the fire dept) I am on as a probationary, want to be a FF as well, but I have panic attacks. I have had them since I was 16 (I'm 22 now). Is there anyone here who has them, and works in the EMS field? I do fine when I am in a situation like this: I am 2 cars behind a motor vehicle accident, I park safely and run up to make sure someone is on the phone with 911, and hold c spine and just try to help the best I can until the authorities arrive. (For some reason I am always coming upon scenes lol). I don't have an attack at all, it doesn't even cross my mind, and I am fine. But if I respond to the station for a call, I get in there and end up going straight to the bathroom because I get nauseated, and someone else gets my seat and off to the call I go. So, when thrown into a stressful situation I am ok, but when I have time to think about it on the way to the station, I lose it. Anyone else here had similar problems? Advice? I obviously can't take Xanax before a call, it just isn't a good idea. BUT, that's the medication that stops panic in its tracks for me. Thanks in advance.
