I get all these symptoms to its horrible am getting used to them now cause I know it's just my anxiety and won't harm me just adrenaline pumping though my body. But see what your doctor says and get tests done to ease your mind if your worried.

I been getting this recently too i’m having my heart check again because I have 24/7 palpitations and some sharp chest pains. That feeling that your dropping is so terrifying....I called the er today they did an EKG said it was fine so I didn’t go to the hospital because of covid has the icu filled. I hate it feel like im going to dying.

Yes I dont get them as often because I sit still and sip ice cold water or cold milk and take deep breaths and tell myself im fine ive had so many ekgs and chest xrays i even had the test where they do a ultrasound on my heart everything came back normal and i realized it was my anxiety and derealization Kicking my ass when u ignore it and push through it the less and less u start to have them

I have had the exact symptoms when I weaned off Lexapro. I am fine now but in your situation you ran out. Always put a few pills to the side as a reserve until you can refill your RX. I'm glad you are ok.
