Has anyone ever had a anxiety or panic attack and there heart does not race?

All of the time, all of my anxiety is usually a slow burn that sometimes peaks and I get a short burst of panic.

I’m constantly focused on my heart rate

With anxiety and health anxiety, we're all focused on something. My health anxiety is epilepsy, so every little thing such as a peak of anxiety, deja vu, feeling off, anything at all triggers me thinking that I'm just about to have a seizure.

There is no rhyme or reasons to why I think this. In my mind I have attempted to connect some dots and made strong links for a variety of symptoms and the end result is my worst fear.

I imagine it's the same with you focusing on your heart. Trust in the facts and accept that its okay to feel the way you feel, give yourself a break.
