I get this off and on myself. Had many tests no answers

[Johnnie1234 in reply to Hidden]

Yeah idk whats going just dont wanna die or anything is scary and my heart worries me the most

[Hidden in reply to Johnnie1234]

Ah the heart right! They tell us to fear terrorists and many other things but there inside of us is this heart just waiting to attack. I have often wanted to get a defibrillator and attack my heart first in a sort of pre-emptive strike...kind of let the heart know that I am in charge......but I thought better of it. Some things to do:

Get a pulse ox reader if you don't have one. CVS Walgreens or walmart. When you feel short of air it helps to say oh ok...I am feeling like this but my oxygen in 98 percent so I am okay.

Realize oxygen can drop because of ANXIETY. This is noted well by me after I had a damn sleep test to find out what was up.

Are you on any meds?

[Johnnie1234 in reply to Hidden]

Yeah i have metaprolol when my heart is racing they told me only take if it going really fast and i haven anxiety meds aswell but i havent even try anxiey pills at all just metaprolol

[Hidden in reply to Johnnie1234]

Did you get your tolprol XL (or metatoprol) from a cardiologist? The reason I ask if because let's say you were on it 5 days...just stopping it could do harm. It's not a "take it if" drug. it's a maintenance drug for many things including tachycardia of the heart which i have and take it for.

[Johnnie1234 in reply to Hidden]

no the cardiologist didnt give it to me when i went to the ER they did because my heart rate was high . the cardiologist told me that dont take it because am only 20 years old am to young to take those things but he told if i feel it going really fast then ill take it if nessary i had a monitor for 7 days a day before going take it back i was in a car if like something tirggered my head my heart starting racing so he called me and told me that everythig looks fine it just going to fast its a panick attack to drink a metaprolol and he told me had a little bit arrythmia not a lot only a little bit that its mostly is anxiety didnt give me no medication and he had me do a stress test snd said my heart is really strong and healthy that the heart looks good but the things i still dont know why my heart goes fast certain times for no reason for little thing like going outside sometimes layingdown i could feel my heart beating hard it just seems wierd like i do have something i get severe chest pains but it comes and goes.

Well my heart dos the same thing and I have been to the e.r several time gotten ekgs that r good if not greAt said one Dr . But it races well I had a nurse that suffers with panic and anxiety tell me it's like a shot of Adrenalin and when it wears off it is over well for weeks mine was constant ugh but I know it's just my mind yes it hurts yes it's real but it is only real because we think Oh God what's really going on you think it .you feel it you do it if u think u feel bad then I feel bad then U don't want to do nothing see I know how hard it is to deal with good luck

[Johnnie1234 in reply to Bluswife]

a shot what you mean theres a shot for it ? and yeah its hard hope fully this goes away honestly need it to go away

[Bluswife in reply to Johnnie1234]

No that's what is marketing your heart race even tho there's is no reason for u to be anxious your mind says there is danger so it gives you a shot of Adrenalin for the fight or flight that's why your heart races mine dos to but my doc say nope u don't need to see a specialist it's only anxiety
