From the moment i wake up i'm anxious. My whole body is extrememly tense and i'm fighting for breathe. My resting heart rate is typically around the 100bpm mark until i stand up and move and it shoots up to the 130-140bpm mark. I can no longer do any exercise. Any type of exercise means me losing my breathe, heart rate gets too high and feel like my heart is going to give out. I spend my entire day on the sofa watching tv, playing video games and looking up answers. This has now been happening for 2 months and has gotten much worse. I use to be able to go out for a walk for about a mile before my legs felt they would give way. I can no longer walk more than 400 steps before i feel like i'm going to die. I live in the fear that every minute will be my last and am physically exhausted by it all. I'm so unfit and live such an inactive life now that i have no chance of getting my old life back. I just need to be hospitalised and told what i need to do. The doctors are running loads of tests. I have 24 hours ecg's done as well as multiple A and E visits were nothing could be found wrong. I don't know how much longer my body will hold on for. My heart is getting more erratic by the day. I refuse to take medication because of the side effects and CBT is doing nothing. I have no idea whast else there is to do but let my heart give out.
I feel your pain I deal with episodes of anxiety that are like this sometimes as well. The only thing that’s worked for me was counciling and deep breathing mediatation. You have to keep telling yourself that you are ok you have checked everything out and there’s nothing.
Try your best to concentrate on positivity. And talk to friends family everyone about how your feeling it helps.
I know exactly how you feel every single thing you just typed I get and have I feel like I can’t walk on my own anymore or anything I’m couch bound I can’t live my life with my children anymore I always think I’m going to pass out or die any time soon
U sound like me bro I hate this life I want to be hospitalized too
Try meds for anxiety prescribed by a doctor,isnt that better the the constant fear that is ruleing your life?
Yes, dr gave me diazepam but is there anything else better for,long term?
Well,sometimes if anxiety is overwelming,anxiety meds will be prescribed for life,however they can become much less effective over time,than a stronger dose is needed to become effective again plus a person has to go off them slowly if it is decided to no longer use them as the body is dependent on them,thats the bad part. Have to weigh the pros and cons. Other then that I guess anti depressants are also used,but my son has had so many side affects from them, i wont go on them .I already take an anxiety med daily,doctor prescibed. Good luck.
