Sick and tired everyday my heart is racing , feel like I'm about to die

I am sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. Feel free to message me. I have had many heart symptoms and have gotten rid of some of them, mostly because my heart was never a big fear of mine but we each have a fear and anxiety amplifies it to any and every extent.

How did u get rid of some of them?

[Hidden in reply to Cwoods]

I stopped worrying over them. Believe me, I get how hard that is to do.

Ive had loud heartbeats, skipped heartbeats, fluttering chest, difficulty breathing. Once, it felt like my chest was being crushed but that was due to breathing too much. Whenever you get them, divert your attention. When I felt breathless, I would walk outside, sometimes for a half hour. But it always calmed me down. And I found myself breathing easier until finally, that issue went away. I also had nocturnal panic attacks, which made me jolt awake, feeling suddenly smothered and unable to breathe.

Its so much easier said than done I have those symptoms especially the skipped heartbeats and I focus on that sooo much it scares me alot

[Hidden in reply to Cwoods]

Dude, I get it! My stomach has been doing something weird and I cannot find the symptom ANYWHERE. Do you panic even when people tell you you are fine? That you honestly, BELIEVE something is very wrong?

your still with the racing heart??

I think we started around the same time posting about it.

I had one more hospital trip last Tuesday

the EMTs settled my anxiety by one telling me that he suffers the same and that as the EKGs were normal and oxygen was great it's just anxiety. And he said that when your heart starts racing to take deep breaths and tell yourself that "it's anxiety just anxiety it's not going to kill you" all while trying to control your breathing.

One night I woke up with my heart racing I coukdnt get up (my little one was sleeping on my arm ) to get my xanax so I held my breath for as long as I could and I felt my heart slowing down I took another big breath in and it calmed down some more I kept at it till I calmed down completely and that has helped me since knowing I was able to control it on my own and that it was indeed just anxiety.

Kylala all I can say is I have felt like you so many times in my 65 years and I am still here As long as you have had your heat tested know that anxiety produces adrenalin and it causes these symptoms and though they are unpleasant they will never kill you x

Hi Kaylala, I recommend going to your doctor and getting referred to a therapist. The support may really help make a difference in your life, as it has in mine. Good luck to you, and remember, this won't always be this way. You can recover and live differently. It takes time. Be kind to yourself
