All my anxiety became worse after a night out last sat. Sunday my heart was doing intervals of rapid heartbeats throughout the day and I felt like I was going to die. They did a lot of tests all normal :). But d dimer was a lil off. I was put on atenolol once per day. And my visit Friday because I had a big sense of doom they put me on atavin.
I got of th atenolol so I could take pain meds but the heartbeat went crazy again. back on it again.
Will I ever be able to come of it?
Atavin I take it as needed already taken it 3 times since yesterday my sense of doom keeps coming up.
My chest even with these meds I still feel heart palps or this uneasiness on my chest.
Anotherthing that sets me off is my wrist is sprained or something but it hurts a lot and I'm afraid it's a blood clot since I tested positive for a clot.
In a word - Yes! I believe the mind is a very powerful organ. It can make you focus on things in a really negative way. I do it too. It makes me do things I would never do if i was being positive and thinking "Oh sod it! (or words to that effect!) Whats the worst that can happen?" I get an email when i expressed and interest in a website called panicaway.com. I think it sells a book or some concept but you can subscribe to emails and I must admit I have found them useful and pretty right in what they say.
Have a go at hypnotherapy - I found that helped me. It taught me how to manage my anxieties. Unfortunately, Ive not got rid of them but I did find it helped calm me and bring things into perspective.
Anxiety and especially health anxiety is a nasty thing Yaz. You're going through it at the moment and believe me I know just how you feel. Every ache is something major - I've been there.
Try and distract yourself with the TV or a book or music and try and remember it's all in your head - not your body!
It's easier said than done - I know. But you do find in most cases that if you do something else the problems you are experiencing goes away. Put the radio/ cd on - sing madly! Make cake. Do yoga / pilates - good for stress/ relaxation.
