Hi I'm just about people's exspience on aniexty meds if it's helps or anything.... Im struggling with my aniexty alot. Of heart palpitations for no reason I sit down at night I feel my heart is beating to fast when I start to relax I feel like I could pass out. I've had the ambulance out before they said my heart was double beating proble caused to aniexty.
They can help some.with the physical effects of anxiety, but no they cannot resolve the reasons for anxiety. To resolve issues in the long term therapy is the best option.
There right it's cause by anxiety and I haven't been on meds wouldn't want to be dependent on them
Bear in mind they aren't guaranteed to work, and can initially make symptoms worse. I prefer anxiety. Meds aren't for me. They can work for some but don't look on them as a long term solution, best to look for therapy to help I would say. Its time better spent
I've had "skipped beats" for years, sometimes during extreme physical workouts. I've learned to accept those twinges of fear, realizing if I let my mind create fear, it will breed, fear creating fear building to an anxiety attack, fear breeds fear. You are in control. Sometimes I laugh out loud, if I slip into a situation, then in my mind, I know what could happen, so, why not tell yourself, it happened, and everything is fine now, why go through that thing that really can't destroy you, even if you think it can, it can't. Mind bluffing is all it is, accept that fact.
Aww thank you that's great information from you positive 
will take that in mind
Hi huni I'm going through the same thing as you . My panic attacks have gone but now I have heart paputations it's scary but you should know that it's not harmful! I would not take any medication from the drs you should try yoga sounds silly but it helps breathin! Do you know what's bringing your paputations on ? I'm getting paputations and anxiety through stress I'm here to help you if your worried xx
Yes you may have a panic dissorder. I have the same thing , heart pounds for no reason and when it subsides I`m drained. Go to your doctor you may need anti-depressants. They also control panic attacks . I am on them and I could`nt function without them now. Ask for some tranquillisers for the short term.as well My doctor allows me them as he knows I won`t abuse them. But each doctor is different and they can be addictive. First step, see a doctor please :-)
Agreed always see a doctor, what works for one person may not for a other and everyone's very different when it comes to treatment. I don't get palpitations really, my panic attacks feel as if I might pass out or lose control, quite dizzy and suffocated and a lump in the throat.
Hi Ambee, anxiolytic medicines definitely help to reduce symptoms. However you need to take medicines under guidance of your GP and psychiatrist along with psychotherapy. Please note that anxiety can arise due to stressful life, so please focus on changing lifestyle to reduce stress. If you are a smoker and taking alcohol, please avoid smoking and alcohol consumption.

Has anyone taken Atenolol - a beta-blocker
Hi Ambee, I used to have a fast heart palpitation for 6 years. I was visiting the emergency care regularly with 185 heart beat rate per minute.Which is really high. Then one of the doctor noticed that my antidepressant might have make it more higher and he was right. When I switch into different type of antidepressant (paroxatine) my heart beats came back to 80-90's. Also, I am still using a betablocker which avoids tacycardia. Maybe you can ask your GP about betablocker. I'm sure it ll be effective
Hello what is tachycardia? Thank you for ur repile. I always hve palpation all day every day I don't no why I wake up feel I'm sinking in the night I can't relax ones I put kids n bed and sit down I feel my heart starts to race again. Doctors have gave me Atenolol - a beta-blocker... What are ur reviews on it isit any good I've seen some bad reviews about it what makes me worried of taking it.
Tacycardia is fast heart beating. Im really positive and happy about beta blockers as it starts to decrease your heart rate and blood pressure immediately, they are quite effective.Doctors gave betablockers to protect heart from heart attacks. You can use it without any hesitation
Okie thank you I read that it has caused deaths and makes angina happend and all sort Witch put me of taking it. Is they side affects
no no its not side effects
Hi Ambee,
You can try low dose antidepressant drugs like ‘Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors’ (Fluoxetine, Paroxetine) or ‘Serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors’ (SNRIs) (venlafaxine, duloxetine) for anxiety. These drugs help to increase serotonin level in the brain and they are effective in anxiety treatment. Please take these drugs under guidance of your GP.
Beta blockers are also used in anxiety treatment to reduce symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, shaking, trembling and blushing. If you have prescribed Atenolol, it will definitely help you to reduce these symptoms.
Have you done investigations for your enlarged lymph nodes? Please consult with your GP for it and take a treatment, it will also help to reduce your anxiety.
