For the past yr and a half I’ve been getting rapid heart rate with little movement and palpitations now and then , it has made me constantly scared that something is seriously wrong as it just don’t feel normal at all , I’ve had 2 snap shot ecg but never 24 hour or chest scan,I’ll stand up and it will start beating really hard and fast I’ll go for a run or a bike ride and it feels like it’s beating 1000 beats a minute so I don’t even excersise no more as of the fear it’s gonna stop and how fast it beats , I barley go out and lost lots of freinds and gained a lot of weight just need some help as can’t go see a doctor and my parents keep telling me how lazy I am and that my there’s nothing wrong when I’m there is just really messed up at the moment 😭

Hi first of all I'm sorry your feeling like this, it's sound exactly like what I experience, I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks.. you should speak to your doctor and he can get you onto the right path to feeling normal again.. I'm on citalopram it's an antidepressant but also used for anxiety and I'm on propanalol which is beta blockers for my panic attacks. Please don't listen to anyone that says you are lazy. Having anxiety is very tiring and it drains you. I'm not a doctor but it sounds like you have anxiety too. Book an appointment to see your doc asap. Feel better soon :)

It's very normal to experience these symptoms with anxiety but that doesn't mean you should have to suffer and feel the way your feeling. I would suggest you go back to see your doctor and he can try you on different pills.. the first pills my doctor put me on made me feel worse so then he tried me with the ones I'm on now and they are brilliant, it's finding the right ones for you to make you feel comfortable.. I actually stopped taking mine last year but need to get back on them asap because my anxiety has been awful the past few months.. my home is my comfort zone and if I go even just 10 minutes away from my house I have a panic attack. I took my kids for a walk down the river by my house yesterday and my heart was beating so fast it sent me into a panic and I thought I was going to pass out, I phoned their dad crying saying I think I'm having a heart attack and he needs to come quick! It's not a nice feeling at all but your not alone, speak to your doctor and he will sort you out because obviously the pills your on now are not working
