Reassurance

Hi everyone.

I’ve suffered severe chronic anxiety daily for years now.always to do with my heart,head or major organs.

I’ve had palpitations,skipped beats thuds etc for 11 years and been to the doctors,hospital,cardiologists etc who all say it’s anxiety.

So sometimes when I’m sleeping(especially when I’m dreaming,my heart feels like it’s going really slow and wakes me up.this only happens sometimes when I’m asleep.

Just wondered if this happened to anyone else?thanks for reading.

Mine does it and my dr says it’s anxiety it will go rapid like it’s gonna come out my chest then go really slow I’m constantly checking my heartbeat on my phone. Having chronic anxiety is awful we never know what kind of day we’re going to have let alone how we’re going to feel

Least we not alone

We have each other

I was checking my heart rate all throughout the day since getting anxiety and I discovered the more I focused on my heart beat and counting the beats per minute the faster it got because it increased the anxiety. I stopped all together and just relaxed and stopped focusing on my heart beat. It really has helped. Listen to Dr Claire Weeks on YouTube. She was a God sent!

I have been experiencing the exact same thing- might heartrate will increase really high after going slow for a bit. I wear an apple watch and I’ll notice it increase, then that makes it increase even more. I usually have these episodes in the middle of the night, lasts about 15-20 min.. It’s terrifying. I feel like I have no real answers, other than 90% chance it’s related to anxiety.

I wake up in the night most nights and my heart feels so slow that I don’t feel like it’s beating

Hi Minnie. You are not alone. Somehow all the sudden changes in my life drag me to a constant anxiety ( literally daily). Lately when I’m about to go to bed to sleep I wake up in the middle of the night with weird palpitations and scared whether I dream or not. I’ve visited 5 cardiologist and supposedly I don’t have anything or they don’t find anything. You’ll see, living in fear is no joke. Wether we like it or not death rest assured in its target for all of us. So, somehow it becomes unclear for us at some point that life is the first free gift from God. That there’s a better life after this one with no hospitals, suffering or evil. Rest assured as well. What should we do in the meantime? Love. Love. Love. Be thankful for everything. But truly thankful. Make that feeling your bed & breakfast. Search for God. We’re not fighting against flesh or blood. We’re fighting spiritual tings we cannot see with our eyes. Also, exercise as most as you can. Eat healthy. Love yourself too. Focus on others peoples lives and troubles and help them. There will always be people in more difficult situations than us. Parents losing children, loneliness and lack of humanity. Make your life with a purpose of leaving the world better than how you find it. Set a goal. A small goal. And grow from there. I take pills and my anxiety is still there. But that will not stop me from loving, giving, caring, helping, growing, smiling, and being thankful for one more day on Earth that will never come back. Ever...
