Help

[Lp97]

I have been having bad chest pains for awhile now and when I try to fall asleep it feels like my heart is stopping and it takes me hours to finally go to sleep. I'm really scared.

I get this a lot, feels like my heart is slowing add I drift off. end up terrified to go to sleep. I have a meditation helper so on my phone,I do ten minutes of sitting still before bed and usually I'm so tired from stress and lack of sleep because of anxiety, that I drift off peacefully in those ten minutes.

If you've already been checked out for the pains, heart etc and most of us on here have, then seek out things to help you stay as calm as possible. Believe me I know that's easier said than done.

Good luck, and come on here when you can't sleep there is usually someone else still awake too!

How long have this been going on for because chances are if its been a long time and your still here then it's most likely a anxiety related.

However make sure you get seem by a cardiologist so they can do all the tests just so you can have piece of mind in that regard.

I would recommend listening to guided relaxation videos, there are plenty out there. They really help in unwinding and taking the mind off all the thoughts.

Try not to google symptoms because we all tend to look for the worse conditions with our symptoms and makes us panic more.

Personally myself I am still a bit anxious but taking it day by day. It's a road of acceptance which in turn helps you to get back to your former self.
