Can't function without anxiety getting in the way.

[Leighakay]

Anyone else feel like you're dieing on a daily basis? I'm constantly feeling light headed, hot, heart is racing, and have the feeling that I'm going crazy. It's very hard to function and get tasks done daily. Some support would help. Thank you!

I just had it kick in 20 mins ago, the heart racing and light head but I chose to ignore it and now it has stopped.

You need to keep yourself busy doing things you enjoy and also tell yourself it is only the anxiety and that you will not pay attention to it. It sounds tricky but if you keep doing it then you will get back more control of your thoughts. That's how I just managed to stop mine, I have been doing this for ages and now for the last few months it works every time.

Good luck!

I feel light headed daily almost like floating feeling very strange it's driving me crazy. Fed up of the headaches aswell wish I could be normal again.

have you got a bp monitor at home? If you have one and take a reading it will probably help you feel less worried if you can see your blood pressure is fine and if it isn't take a record of it to show your GP and it can be sorted. xx

Suffered for years with this when I was younger I had to learn to control it not it control me so hun this is what you have to do.

I used to get palpations especially in middle of night and they'd wake me up and still do - they used to terrify the life out of me but now I just accept them for what they are as I've had tests to rule out heart probs. Good luck you will overcome this trust me if you ignore them. 😁😁
