deep breath and yawning

[damiante]

in the last month or so i have been feeling heart palpitations, also within the last few weeks i find that i take many times deep breaths and yawning, i was wondering if anyone else has had these symptoms, i do take pills for anxiety, i feel this is not anxiety. i really appreciate a response. ty in advance.

Palpitations are generally not anything to worry about. And often a result of anxiety. What drugs do you take as you can ask your chemist if that and the yawning could be a new side effect of any of your drugs.

Perhaps a good thing to do would be to keep a record of what you feel - so note down each time you feel them and for how long. Then if it seems to be getting worse or more frequent go and see your doctor.

These are, in fact, typical symptoms of anxiety! I do know - I've been there too.The best treatment is learning breathing techniques (and practising them) for slowing and deepening your breathing. There are several resources to help with this on the net, one is: positivepsychology.com/deep...

You could just check your pulse. It should be regular and between 60 to 80 beats per min on average.

See that you have been on the pernicious anemia site previously,the symptoms can be a sign of low vit b12 too.
