how do I make it stop

[dizzychar]

so anxious lately and I’m really fed up, not sleeping well at all and keep thinking I’m seriously ill, come out for a walk hoping it would help but not really doing much at the minute, I’m petrified of going to see my gp, where as 5 years ago I would be there everyday if I needed to, I’m overly focused on my swollowing and my chest, I just can’t seem to snap out of it, I’ve been so miserable I just need some advice

I’m so sorry you are feeling like this. I am identifying with you so much . Mine started this time with some ectopic heart beats which freaked me out even though I’ve had them before I thought they had gone. Then downhill from there. Am not sleeping am so cold all the time and can’t eat. I did have a drs appointment today and it got cancelled this morning due to her being unwell. I got myself into a state overnight thinking what I was going to say and now aren’t going do all that adrenaline has nowhere to go. I’m also focusing on my tight chest and that’s making it worse. Even though the ectopics are gone I’m constantly checking my heart beat. Anxiety is awful

😞 thanks for replying aw no I’m sorry have you managed to get another appointment? It’s awful when you’ve worked yourself up and then things like that happen, I’m due to go to the doctors soon I’m so scared about it,I want to go but I don’t at the same time, I’m exactly the same not settling hardly at all at night time and off my food, Is it like palpitations that you’re getting? I suffer with them sometimes aswell it is scary

More like skipped beats but if I get to sleep I wake up with racing heart. Then darent go to sleep again. I’m fed up of missing out on life but you do feel physically ill which not many people understand . Have to wait another week now as this dr was recommended so booked specifically with her for that reason

That’s rubbish 😞 Yes I get the same. Yes it definitely makes you feel physically ill, do you have anyone you can speak to, I often come here to rant because i no I can be open as most of us are in the same boat. My appointment was pretty pointless to be honest 😩
