My heart feels like it's going to stop and just give up does anyone get where there heart beats so slow then thumps and goes really fast but it don't seem like it's beating properly? Iv had this doom feeling on me like I'm going to die real soon also have where I don't feel real n everything around me is a dream
michaela, It is anxiety causing an extra beat, but it does feel like ur heart stops and then kicks in again. My friend is a cardiologist who explained after he put a heart monitor on me for 24 hours exactly what my heart was doing and it is only anxiety. I have since had this off and on for years now. It many times is my warning I am getting more stressed than I think. I promise u that ur o.k.
Good morning Micheala Hope all is well, I am 31 years of age and I always think I am dying but the fact is we are not its part of your anxiety dont worry easier said then done I have down loaded a book from the internet its called when panic attacks you should read it, its quiet good or do some exercise but the best thing will prob be some cbt do you suffer with panic attacks also x
michalea I also had the dreamlike feeling many times. The first time was 30 years ago and the Dr. had no idea what I was talking about back then which freaked me out even more, only to find out it is derealization that many many people get with anxiety
Hey kathy I feel so horrid I feel like there's something wrong my chest hurts but Iv been to the hospital before with chest pain they said if ur having chest pain and u press down on ur chest and it hurts there's nothing to worry about cos it's muscular pain.. But no me don't take that in I'm gettin pain all under my left breast and centre of my chest. What if this is a heart attack 😢
Sweetie, this is normal in anxiety. (((hugs))) it doesn't make it easy to cope with though does it? Have you tried to do some deep breathing when this happens? I take a deep breath in whilst counting to five in my head, hold it for five and then breathe out while counting to five. This just helps me to slow my breathing and focus.x
Iv had cbt the lot 😔.. How can anxiety cause so much symptoms!! I feel like I'm going crazy. It's my 20th next week and all I'm thinking is I'm not going to make it I know I won't , sorry ur going through it aswell x
michalea how old are u
Oh my love you remind me so much of me I think I have anxiety all my life really but ive had spells of very bad anxiety where it is constantly their when i was 18 when i was 25 and when and now again at the grand age of 30 hahahahahahahahahah and sorry Iam laufing cause if we dont lauf we will cry your not going to die anytime soon trust me all will be fine you need to get yourself out of this xx
Michalea anxiety can trigger every organ in ur body to go haywire and it just creates a sensation weather it is dizzy, derealizations, heart attck u name it It is terrible but please as one of the girls said breath it is important and just know anxiety HAS NEVER KILLED ANYONE it will not, but it sure feels like the dread and terror only those of us that suffer with this understand.please tell urself "THIS IS ONLY A SENSATION"
19.. 20 next week x
Hate anxiety!!! Yeah I know I'm always crying like a big baby!! What symptoms do you get? Where abouts are you from?x
THE ODDS OF U HAVING HEART ATTACK ARE NOTHING AT THIS AGE I SWEAR IT'S ALRIGHT AND JUST SCARRY BUT U ARE HAVING ANXIETY AND THAT IS IT/ I KNOW HOW AWFUL IT FEELS BUT THIS WILL PASS I AM SO SORRY U ARE SO FRIGHTENED, BUT U ARE O.K.
No it doesn't make it easier to cope with its horrible 😩, I do try deep breathing everything just seems so hard x
Thank you so much Kathy!!! .. It's so so hard atm feel like there's not a light at the end of the tunnel , but I hope u get through it x
I know sweetie, honestly I do. The odds of you actually having a cardiac event are next to nothing, please believe me. I've talked about this in other threads, but I've taken up adult colouring books. Focusing on the details in the pictures really helps.x
ARE U CALMING DOWN A BIT YET MICHAELA? I HOPE SO HONEY U ARE ALRIGHT JUST SCARED AND FRIGHTENED BUT IT IS ONLY A sensation. i ALWAYS TELL MYSELF THAT, THE MINUTE I FEEL ANY PANIC BEGINNING AND IT CALMS ME RIGHT DOWN
I know Iv tried that aswell my mind just seems to be somewhere else! are you on any medication ?x

BUT THE DOOM AND GLOOM STEALS UR JOY AND U FEEL LIKE UR NOT GOING TO LIVE A LONG TIME ALWAYS WAITING FOR THIS OR THAT SYMPTOM TO KILL U BUT NONE OF THEM DO. BUT IT IS THE EMOTIONAL DRAIN AND WORRY OF THE WHAT IFS. I PROMISE U U ARE FINE.
