I have No idea if I got heart problems or anxiety

[Wallie7382]

My heart pumps out of my chest like palpitations

My thoughts race about it and it gets worse

Have all the given symptoms of a heart attack but when I goto the doctor I'm fine

I get this as well, so awful. I’ve called ambulances out to me before now, it is so scary, I know - have you tried breathing exercises? Or any meditation? There are some great apps available, takes a while to get into and could help give you some peace.

Don’t get me wrong - I still get heart not right episodes but I can go to my mindfulness app and calm myself now.

Just might be something to think about.

Yea the breathing wont work cause my mind is racing and the meds I'm on rn make me nauseous and I cant sleep which makes me trip the next day, and I feel discomfort in my chest

It probably is anxiety related as you say the symptoms worsen when you’re focusing on them. If you are concerned still, I’d say go back to the Drs, don’t worry about bugging them, they would rather see you and make sure you’re ok than have you worked up, worrying at home.

Anxiety has many, MANY symptoms and can convince you that the worst is happening to you. Once you get to a place, and you will get there, where you can say to yourself ‘ok, this is a symptom of my anxiety, I’m ok, this shall pass, just gotta feel the way I feel and ride it out’ you’ll feel more in control and like you have control over it rather than it have control over you.

You will get through this. It takes time but you’re gonna be ok!

Sounds like pvcs which are related to anxiety. I get these and am on a low dose propranolol which helps a little

Thanks but I try to avoid medication cause of more symptoms or side effects or medical problems to deal with in the long run

Hi I was also on propanonlol. It gave me side effects that were worse. How lower a dose are u on. As it did help me in some ways. But had really bad breathlessness on them. i was on 40 mg 3 times a day. .

[Wallie7382]

I fixed the problem

Well the medication I was on caused dehydratdration and I needed more water and have the meds kick in...

Cause my palpitations were so bad it on top of that i was dehydrated I had to goto the er for an iv, but other than that it stopped and the medication kicked in

I realised that you can control it if you understand your not gonna die

[Wallie7382]

Smoking actually was the cause of it along with sleep patterns, so I took the initiative to stop and fix my sleep it worked like a charm

[Wallie7382]

Vaping and smoking at the same time will cause the palpitations, also if it does its curable but I have no idea what effects will happen with me later. Vaping has no studies right at the moment which is scary to me cause of my stupid self
