This anxiety is really getting to me

My dr said its completely normal for someone with anxiety to have their heart do all these weird things from racing/pounding to palpitations to low heart rate.

Why do I constantly worry about my heart and of course that makes my anxiety so much worse and I'm always checking my pulse. Does anyone else feel this way???

yepp!! i check my pulse like hundreds of times a day, convinced there's something wrong with my heart...

i get frequent chest pains, shoulder pain and jaw pain aloong with SOB even when not anxious so i'm always thinking i'm having a heart attack!

i've shown up to hospital many times and seen the doctors many times only to be told i'm fine..

Go to the doctor and get an EKG and have him check your heart. If that is not sufficient have him recommend that you see the cardiologist and take a stress test/ECG once that comes back normal, learn to accept the body sensations. They will go away in time.

Thanks for the reply. That's the thing I have been to my dr and also the hospital. Had 3 EKGs and 3 complete blood workouts and was also hooked up to a heart monitor for a few hours at the hospital and everything checked out fine. They are setting me up with a holter monitor but they are positive I'm fine. Why can't I just believe them and relax :(

Hello

Yes you are wearing the tea shirt of anxiety. Ask the GP to arrange blood tests and an ECG to put your mind at rest. Many tests can now be performed in surgery by the Specialist Nurse. If you are still suffering try and arrange some medications to calm the mind and if still not right ask for a meeting with a CPN who will discus your fears with you. Sometimes a meeting with other departments will be made to calm your thoughts and worries.

Good Luck

Anxiety alone is punishable by just that....ANXIETY! It's to blame for so much of our worries. Palps and fear feed off each other...making your imagination run riot. Just remember that and the fear lessens.....a little. You'll be ok even tho' you think you may die before reading this!

Lol well thank you for your reply. I tell myself every day that it's only anxiety and I will be ok but it's easier said than done. Felt anxious a couple times this morning but I told myself its just anxiety you will be fine and it worked but doesn't always which is no good.

Hope your having a good day :)
