Like most of us on here I have GAD and healthy anxiety, especially heart. I get all the "normal" symptoms, dizzy, tightness in chest, shoulders, aching in arms, changes in heart rate, sometimes it way slows then speeds up like crazy, the feeling if omg something is wrong. My BP is up lately and I don't know if it's anxiety causing it or if it's up for another reason and that's what's causing my anxiety now. It's been several days of ups and downs. But I've noticed over the years that when I'm in a bad anxiety stretch like this that my "abnormal" heart rate is worse when I'm up and about. When I'm sitting I feel semi ok. When I get up and move about my pulse and chest sensations are worse. I know your heart rate goes up when you move obviously. But it just feels abnormal. Sometimes I feel winded even. Anyone else have similar?
I have anxiety in the day time because of busy roads and traffic. Also noise. Also crowded shops cause a problem. The city can be very stressful and I get tingling sensations in my legs and I've also had hypertension.
