So these past week or so I’ve been feeling really low, not been feeling myself at all. Feeling anxious about everything not sure why? Every time I feel like this I feel as of my heart is racing then I check my pulse to see how fast it is. My whole body is aching my back my arms, then I think 🤔 am I having a heart attack or what. Not been eating well either I’m hungry but the thought of eating makes me feel nausea. Anyone felt like this? Any advice greatly appreciated is it time for me to be on medication?
Thanks in advance
Stay happy friends

Sorry to hear you’re having such a difficult time at the moment. Anxiety is horrible.
I experienced the heart attack related fears in May-July time of this year. Just came out of the blue, I’ve always had anxiety but I suddenly became very aware of my heart and other physical feelings I was having and worried about what they meant.
I also checked my pulse and would wear my FitBit to track my heart rate. It made me feel temporarily better if I thought it was ‘normal’ but, in hindsight, the constant checking was making it worse.
I just decided one day to stop wearing my Fitbit (I’ve had therapy for OCD and knew I needed to do this, although it was hard) and to try to dwell on thoughts about my heart. It was hard at first but switching my focus from it did me the world of good.
I don’t take medication because I’ve never wanted to so I can’t comment on that, although it might help you. Have you ever had therapy?
