Life crippling palpitations

[Armaan_]

Hi everyone,

I’ve never really posted or talked about my anxiety, depression or the palpitations that I get everyday all day long.

I had my first panic attack in university and have been struggling ever since with anxiety attacks. Recently since coming back home from university I have been getting them everyday where I can’t even exercise or go to the gym cause when I get back home from the gym my heart rate will go to 120bpm and stay there for a few hours. I’m convinced there is something wrong with me. I’ve been to the emergency room where they done a ecg and blood test and found nothing but sinus tachycardia.

I’ve been to my doctors so many times cause these palpitations are ruining my life where I’ll stay in bed cause of fear my heart will race out of control if I move. The doctors take for ever to do tests. I’m still four months after asking waiting for my appointment for a 24 hour heart monitor.

I hope it’s all just my anxiety and nothing bad cause I’m convinced I won’t make it cause the doctors just don’t care.

I’ve been waiting for months to see a therapist but they keep telling me there a waiting list I’ll have to wait.

Doctors gave me propanonol but it makes me feel better be low. I really don’t want to take meds everyday. I take it when I need it.

This year has been so hard for me. My girlfriend of four years my first love broke up with me. She said I’m an amazing nice guy and I’m so good to her but wants to date other people. She’s been so horrible and mean to me for months and I’m out Relationship she just to hit me when we would argue. I would never hit her back cause I was raised never to do that.

I’ve been bullied all my life in school and never had no friends and sat alone by myself for five years.

Going home I used to see my dad hit my Mum and fight everyday.

I have money issues and debt and all I want to do is provide a good life for my family.

I’m struggling so much everyday I wish someone would help me and listen to me

Sorry kinda vented about everything this post probably doesn’t make sense

Hi, I completely feel your pain heart palpitations are one of the most scariest symptoms that I experience myself quite a lot then I send my body into panic and they go on and on if your doctors have said that your heart is fine and you have had tests done then most likely is fine but it's harder to believe I know, but every morning try and tell yourself that if it is anxiety it will pass I hope this year is a better one just remember it's all in your mind you have to level and understand your mind don't fight against it and take no notice of your ex you don't need people like that getting you down you sound like a lovely guy the best of luck!

Ive had the very same experience regarding exercise and heart palpitations. Anxiety has a massive part to play. I'm just starting to exercise again but my heart palps have reduced significantly since i gave up coffee (including decaf). I had some flutters recently after a couple of stressful days at work so that proves that stress, worry, anxiety are the cause if your doctor has checked you out and found nothing wrong.

Thank you for sharing means a lot I’m going to give the gym a try again

I'm just taking baby steps - not pushing myself too much. I think it's about retraining the brain to understand an increased HR as a result of exercise is fine.

Thanks I’ll try to keep that in mind when I excercise
