IF I GET UP TO WALK SOMETIMES MY HEART RATE IS UP. THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHEN MY ANXIETY WAS DOWN AND MY HEART RATE FELT NORMAL. I GET SO SCARED!! ALSO IDK IF MY BODY IS JUST HIGHLY SENSITIVE BECAUSE OF MY ANXIETY OR WHAT, BUT SOMETIMES WHEN I TOUCH MY NOSE, LIKE SQUEEZE IT OR RUB IT, IT SOMETIMES FEELS AS IF SOMETHING IS IN IT OR LIKE I’M GOING TO STOP BREATHING! THAT REALLY SCARES ME AND SOMETIMES CAUSES ME TO HVE A PANIC ATTACK!!! I’M JUST SO SCARED! MY GI TRACT IS MESSED UP DUE TO MY ANXIETY AND EVERYTHING!!! ANYONE ELSE??

your symptoms are very common with anxiety and panic. anxiety can cause the heart rate to be elevated quite high.
any symptoms brought on by anxiety cannot hurt you. They are caused by the adrenaline release by the brain when you are anxious. eventually it wears off.
you Will not stop breathing. Breathing is an automatic function , just like when you sleep. anxiety makes u feel scared, but its false fear.
when u stress about this, symptoms can increase.
the Best thing to do is not overreact, but calm your mind.
ive had all your symptoms plus many more.
when u feel breathing issues, severe panic, anxiety, proper breathing is key to control.
go to you tube and search “stop panic now”, then scroll to “dont panic” in black letters. she guides u thru it and it works!!
theres many other meditations for anxiety, sleep, etc.

THANKS FOR REPLYING JAN! IT’S BEEN SUCH A STRUGGLE FOR ME. I’VE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANXIETY OR PANIC ATTACKS BEFORE UNTIL I WENT AWAY AND CAME OFF THE PLANE WITH HEAD PRESSURE. I HAD IT FOR ABOUT A WEEK OR SO THEN I BEGAN TO WORRY EXCESSIVELY ABOUT IT THINKING THERE WAS SOMETHING MAJORLY WRONG WITH ME. I’VE HAD NUMEROUS TRIPS TO THE ER AND EVEN PRIVATE DOCTORS. EVERYTIME I GO AND THEY DO BLOOD WORK ETC. THEY FIND NOTHING. I’VE EVEN HAD A CT SCAN OF MY BRAIN AND NOTHING WAS FOUND. I’M 23 AND FEEL LIKE MY LIFE IS JUST GOING DOWNHILL. I HAVEN’T LOST A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF WEIGHT BUT I HAVE LOST SOME AS SOMETIMES I JUST DON’T FEEL LIKE EATING. I DO HAVE GOOD DAYS AND I TRY TO GO ON WALKS AND HANG OUT WITH FRIENDS AND JUST DO THINGS TO TAKE MY MIND OF IT. IT DOES HELP AND ALSO THANKS FOR YOUR SUGGESTION ABOUT THE YOUTUBE VIDEO! I WILL DEFINITELY LOOK IT UP!
