I’m 25 and early hours of this morning experienced a spell of feeling like my heart was racing. It’s comes and goes. No sweating or other symptoms. Could this be anxiety? I am really scared about upcoming surgery this Wednesday and to make matters worse my parter is away for 2 nights. I don’t do well with out him anxiety wise. I have so much to do today like my landlords coming to fix things in my house and I don’t want to cancel just to be told it’s your anxiety. I’ve also only slept for 2 hours! Now I’m panicking about panicking.

Thank you in advance x

Yeah this is common and also one of the scariest parts of anxiety I think. Because it also tends to lead to thoughts of worry. Racing heart, racing thoughts.

I meditate. It lowers my heart rate, which reduces anxious thinking. This works for me, but I end up meditating around 40 minutes to an hour every day. I started at 10 minutes a day and worked up over time.
