I’m 48 and I have been on meds for 10 year’s I’m having real problems lately. I feel like I’m having a heart attack everyday starting a 4 pm and last till I go to sleep can anyone help. I don’t know what to do. I may not die from a heart attack but this is killing me.
are the meds you’re taking for anxiety? Depression?
what type of symptoms are you having?
also, when was the last time you had a complete physical check up?
anxiety symptoms can be scary. They will not hurt you but I know how weird they can feel.
the main thing you need to do is relax your mind the best you can. The more you do that the better you will feel. Proper breathing is essential in relaxing the mind and the symptoms. You can find some great breathing meditations on YouTube. There are also some good relaxation meditation for anxiety. you can do other things also to relax your mind and body. Taking a walk, taking a warm bath, anything that calms you down.
is there’s something specific lately that is causing you anxiety? Work? Family? Relationships? Think about it. Consider speaking with a therapist on a weekly basis. I do this through a virtual appointment and it works great.
you shouldn’t have to feel this way. There are others who can help. You need some support right now. do you have any family or friends you can talk to you about this? I really hope you get some peace soon!
also, There is a short meditation on YouTube that really helped me a lot when I was feeling really overwhelmed. Maybe when you start feeling poorly around 4 PM you could listen to it. She guides you through it and I feel so much more at ease when it’s done. Search YouTube for something called stop panic attack now. Then scroll down to one called don’t panic. It is in black bold letters. Get yourself comfortable and listen to it.
yes I take meds for both. I’m new to this and don’t know what I can put on here and what I can’t. I was at the E.R. a month ago they took X ray ,MRI, EKG and took blood sent me home. Seen my doctor and she upped my meds no help. May be worse now I don’t know what else to do. I have family and friends talk to them no help. l feel like I’m at the end of a rope and just hanging on. Sorry this sounds so bad but I’m good till 4pm or so.
Thank you I will try it.
I’m also 48… I’ve had anxiety since 22. it comes and goes but I’ll get into a cycle like I am now where i have constant panic ( heart palpitations, dizzy, cant sit still, cant sleep, can’t be around anyone. i feel like im dying. I’ve been on Prozac, paxil and others. im currently waiting for my doctor to start me on something Friday. im a wreak so just wanted to tell you you’re not alone. my family tries to understand but you cant when you dont know the real feelings.
