Constant fast heartbeat

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone else suffers from random anxiety, feeling dizzy/all over the place and heart races constantly, for hours and even days! I do suffer from anxiety, however this time around it's been so constant it's starting to really bug me and scare me. Does this happen to anyone else or is it just me?

Crewe, there are 23,500 people who have visited this forum and I reckon all of them have suffered from your symptoms at one time or another. So it's not just you, far from it. If you haven't already discussed this with your doctor then you should. You need the reassurance that the trouble is anxiety disorder. But if and when you get that reassurance that it's anxietythen accept that you've seen someone who trained for years and years to give you the correct diagnosis and accept what they say. Anxiety is very, very good at imitating physical illnesses so it's easy to be misled into thinking your doctor has got the wrong end of the stick.

Constantly stressing about the symptoms of anxiety, like your dizziness and racing heart, only makes your nervous system more sensitive and prolongs the illness. So just try and accept these glitches that your nerves throw at you and accept them with a minimum of fear and angst. If you can frame your mind to temporarily accept these symptoms as irritations that are of no serious consequence and carry on as normal you'll hasten their departure by desensitising your nervous system.

The other thing to ask yourself is what pressures in your life are responsible for you getting anxiety disorder in the first place. There is no problem in yhe world that can't be solved by the application of human thought, if you can neutralise whatever caused this then that will greatly help your recovery. Sometimes removing the original cause of our anxiety state requires drastic action and means putting ourselves first for a chance. You're not always going to feel like this I assure you.

I have had anxiety and even panic attacks and have been in therapy to Embrace the fear, good self talk, and it will subside. Good book to read is Embrace the Fear by Judy Bemis and Amr Barrada, they both suffered with Anxiety and depression and feel it is your self talk that leads you to panic.
