How do I fully allow myself to believe that there’s nothing wrong with my heart. My resting rate has been beats higher lately I keep trying to tell myself nothings wrong nothings wrong but still find myself scared that there’s something wrong with it. 😓 again have had test done last year. I don’t excersise the last 2 years cause I’m extremely nervous about my heart. I’m so tired of living like this every day I keep trying to tell myself NO YOU Don’t NEED TO GO TO THE Er 😓 but I’m so tempted to again!

Life can be hard and stressful I have the feeling of my lungs constricting a lot of the time and sometimes my own heart rate feels very abnormal but does it cause you pain or dizziness I mean i'm not a professional but maybe you should try and surround yourself with comfort and just relax like lay down and focus on your toes to relax then your feet then legs, torso, chest, fingers, arms, shoulders, neck, head.. see if that can help. I hope you can find a way but I believe in you! <3

I guess it depends on how high it is. It sounds like you should re visit with an md. Could be anxiety but could be something more serious. Have it checked out and you will feel more settled with it after you get done medical advice.

I have the same issue! All I can focus on is my heart rate, and that makes it increase, I literally have anxiety about having anxiety which gives me anxiety. I hate the physical symptoms, the last 3 weeks all I can focus on is my heart and it’s driving me crazy, even though I know my hearts fine, I had anxiety for years, with racing heart, palpitations etc, then my anxiety went away for a year and I had zero symptoms, then as soon as my anxiety came back the symptoms came back 😩 so I know it’s anxiety related but it’s soooo hard to tell myself that in the moment of it, my problem is I can feel totally norm then boom focusing on my heart rate and freaking out 😩

You must be my twin I literally have to re read what you said cause I thought I had wrote it. I’m the same way! It’s so consuming what is you’re resting heart rate? And how high does it get. Have you had test done? I’ll feel okay then I won’t too. Mine was on and off for years as well now it is back and it is so bad it’s been this whole month or so and I’m so obsessed and I’ll I do is talk about my heart I’m trying to so hard to focus on the fact that I have had it tested before and that I’m okay. But I just can’t stop thinking about what if they didn’t catch it. Or what is this causes it but nothing f has happened yet to me I just have to cry it out 😓

It’s so hard and scary because it’s sooooo normal like me walking up the stairs increases it and I’m like hold up lol I freak out, even though duh it’s normal, I’m not sure what my resting heart rate is, but I feel like I can tell when it’s fast, and like say I get up and pee and lay down I will focus on it and it’ll get higher and higher, or I can simply turn over in bed and feel it increase and freak out until I can literally feel it in my face 😩 I had a bunch of different tests done like two years ago (I’m 22) I think a big thing is my posture sometimes causes it, like it’s smooshing stuff in me, with gas/bloating I’ll get a heart palpitation and freak out and burp and it’s gone, so I know it’s not serious but still scary I will say drinking lots of water helps, having shorted chest muscles from slouching makes it soooo much worse because it causes pain so it makes the anxiety worse, I’ve had hypochondria for awhile and focusing on my heart is by far the worst and hardest to combat because duh it’s beating 24/7 😩😩😩 it’s such a scary part of anxiety, I honestly think I’m anxiety sensitive and my fear of having a panic creates anxiety and the symptoms like I literally do it to myself out of fear of feeling the symptoms, it got so bad to the point where I’m afraid to eat more then a few bites of food at a time, like I used to have an overeating problem, like not eating all day then eating a bunch and it would raise my heart rate (which is normal) everyone I’ve talked too including my drs said that’s normal, because it’s pushing on things when over full, so now I will barely eat, acid reflux makes it worse, greasy foods make it worse 😭

Omfg in the same way it scares me every time I get up. I can be doing light exercises and I’ll have to check it or I’ll panic. This is so crazy to finally see someone like me like when I mean me literally we are the same!!!!! I have had my heart beat really fast when I was 12

Because of marijuana and I never smoked it again tell I was 16 and it happens again and then when I had my daughter 2 years ago I had an infection in my beast from breastfeeding and my heart

Jumped up too 190 and the had to put my heart back into rythem and I had them check my heart ultra sound. EKG heart monitor for 48 hours. You name it and the doctor laughed and told me my heart was beautiful and to go live my life. But now I obsess with the fact that I think it’s going to happen again I literally make sure my Keyes are next to me at night so I can drive myself back to the hospital if I need too again. I also don’t exercise sense my daughter because I fear I have a heart isssue. I’m so miserable this way tho let me tell you girl I just want my life back: my daughter deserves it you know and so do I 😓😓😓 and it seems impossible because I’m so obsessed with it every second now. I went to the hospital last month for anxiety thought my heart was doing it again was about 167 when I went in cause I was having panic attacks. Then it went down to about 110 and they said I was fine. They told me that having a higher pulse isn’t considered dangerous

My resting is about 88. Now but even that scares me. I just hope the doctors are right and I’ll neve have to experience that kind of pain ever again. 😓

Omg same!! After having my kids it got worse, like just thinking about it scared the shit out of me, I’m so afraid to be active because of it and it’s terrible, I cry because I wish I can run and play with them at the park 😔 it’s crazy because I know I’m fine, my boyfriend will all upstairs and his heart will race, and he’s like bro it’s notmal I walked upstairs lol and if that was me I’d be freaking out sooooo bad, it takes longer to go down because e dwell on it 😩 when I stretch I notice I feel it less if that makes sense because when my muscles are tight I can literally feel my heartbeat in my muscles 😩 I’m wooooo glad we can relate to eachother it makes me feel better 😭 and your name is lexi too?? Sooo weird lol!
