Do anyone have feeling like going die horrible thoughts can’t sleep sweating unreal feeling racing heart sometimes!

Hi!

This sounds really awful and frightening. However, it also sounds very similar to a panic attack. As terrifying as they feel, you are in no real danger - the feeling that you are going to die is only a feeling.

If you haven’t before, I suggest doing a little research on panic attacks/ways to help and perhaps speaking to doctor.

Yeah scarey I have panic attacks but like the after feeling last even days with me is this possible

[EleanorRose in reply to Nikkiox]

I can’t comment on the medical side of it, I’m no doctor, but in my personal experience, yes.

I’ve been through periods of extreme anxiety where I have been in a CONSTANT state of high anxiety for weeks on end. Not a panic attack but very similar feelings/thoughts.

Yeah I totally understand going through bad way and awfull feelings you so helpful 🙌

Hi....yes I feel like that regularly.....it feels debilitating sometimes. It's terrifying feeling like your about to die. I don't know what the solution is but know you aren't alone X

[Nikkiox in reply to Lallie79]

Thank you yes it horrible and when I wake or trying sleep x

Just a thought. Have you had your thyroid tested? It may be something to consider ( I had those symptoms and it turned out to be that). I wish you the very best and it seems that you are not alone with a lot of lovely people on here to help. X

[Nikkiox in reply to Lilypocket]

No I havent is it bloods that he won’t it x

[Lilypocket in reply to Nikkiox]

🤔didn't quite understand your answer x

[Nikkiox in reply to Lilypocket]

Blood test I have to have with I x

[Lilypocket in reply to Nikkiox]

Ok. Your anxiety may be something physical (of course I don't know your life story but a thyroid out of balance doesn't help x

[Nikkiox in reply to Lilypocket]

What sytoms do you get don’t mind me asking x

[Lilypocket]

Sort of nightmares ( never had those before) fast heart, general feeling of fear and anxiety. It is sorted now. But of course I'm just talking about me. If you are naturally anxious it seems your symptoms are panic attacks ( my daughter's father in law has it and takes medication. There is no physical reason for the panic attacks) x

[Nikkiox in reply to Lilypocket]

I won’t take tablets because way I feel now I wouldn’t want side effects x

[Lilypocket in reply to Nikkiox]

Fair enough I don't know much about panic attacks - I'm usually on the AFib forum. But it seems that many people here are just as nice and helpful. My daughter's father in law is very quiet and almost laid back and I was most surprised when he told me he suffered panic attacks. I think the medication he takes is a sort of "pill in the pocket". Just takes it when he needs it. I hope you find a solution! X

Horrible experience worse thing ever yeah I now what saying x
