Kaaayla dear...Have the symptoms settled down some?? Diet Coke does have caffeine

in it which can cause the heart palps. Also, the carbonation can and will cause heartburn

and when lying down the fizz can push against the heart causing palps, skips and flutters.

Also because the coke contains caffeine, it dehydrates you which also plays a part with

the heart symptoms. The best thing you can do now is hydrate, it should help with your

symptoms.

How is your mom doing? Your anxiety is on overtime right now making you more sensitive

to things. Feel better :) xx

Kaaayla, this is a lot for you to handle alone. Do you have any other

family members that you can share this stress with?

When you wake up in the middle of the night, reality hits you and

sends a course of adrenaline throughout your body.

Have you tried using some quiet meditation and breathing before

you fall asleep..Maybe some positive affirmations would help as help.

It might calm down the thoughts some.

All in all Kaaayla, know that you mother is being well taken care of by

her oncologist and cardiologist. They are specialists who have your mother's

well being at the top of their priorities. Right now, the best thing you can do

for yourself is to turn your fears over to them.. Take care of yourself so you will

be there for your mother. Keeping you and your mother in my thoughts :) xx

It's all stress related. Im sorry you are experiencing these symptoms. I know they are terrifying. What helps me sometimes is self talk by saying what I am feeling. Claiming what u r feeling & Self compassion will help....

For example" Im feeling anxious right now bc I am going through a lot right now in my life" " Im going to be alright. I need to comfort myself and be there for me bc this is overwhelming. This is hard but I know what this is so Im going to be alright"then take a few breaths..in through your nose out your mouth. Anxiety is fear. You will be ok.

Please understand Anxiety is a normal emotion. It's fear. It's when it becomes extreme and interferes w are daily life that it becomes a problem.

Accept what u r going through and you will become resilient. You will be ok.

It's hardright now but u will be ok. You just have to believe it.
