Help something inside if me feels tight. I think its the area where my heart is

[S6041628]

I suffer from tachycardia and take beta blockers to slow my heart rate. But i still feel like something is tight. I cant tell. Docs think i suffer from depression and anxiety which then causes fast pulse. I also cry a lot because i never feel comfortable.

Hi.

I experience very similar symptoms. The key is to try to accept and ignore them. I know that is easier said than done. I set myself little challenges every day and then give myself a pat on the back and some reward of relaxation in front of the television etc each time I achieve them. It doesn't matter if the symptoms get worse while you do it. It is only symptoms of anxiety and cannot hurt you.

I am almost fully recovered now but found that was the answer along with a good antidepressant for support.

My very best wishes to you and everyone else suffering from anxiety and depression.

Kim
