Hey I'm Demi I'm scared if sudden cardiac arrest ever happen I' have bad anxiety I'm scared cause I don't want to die ??
Do you take anything for your anxiety? Why are you scared of sudden cardiac arrest?
Sweet heart you are not going to die. You have palpitations because of anxiety and now you are aware that your heart misses beats and flutters you feel them even more! Before you felt these you had them and didn't even know, everyone has them every single day we are just the unlucky ones that feel them! Maybe research ectopic heart beats anxiety symptom. There's loads of stuff about it, you won't die. I was the same as this last year now I'm getting to grips with the anxiety I know I won't die, and neither will you. Just relax all this worry will only make your anxiety symptoms worse x
Darling, this is your second post about the same problem.
There is no reason at all for a healthy young woman to die suddenly from a cardiac arrest.
You've had tests and your heart was normal. Where is this fear of death coming from? I believe that you need to work that out before you can get over this terrible anxiety.
If you go in to cardiac arrest it's most likely you'll be in a comba for a few weeks and wake up all drowsy. You won't die
I have no idea it just came across me cause I'm fear of dying I think I will die of it I'm 14 no I don't x
So my heart won't stop then I won't die thanks it just scary cause I'm only 14 sometime I have chest pains too am I gonna be fine ??cx
Sorry just so curious it it happen to another girl but she drowned and died of cardiac arrest does your heart only stop when you have problems with it ?? Thanks xxx
Really I thought you died from it x
It won't! It's your anxiety take some time to chill out for a bit have a laugh. I got my results last week my heart is fine, since then the palps have reduced massively! And when you realise yours is all anxiety yours will too. You can't die from these palps only if there's a problem with your heart, but there isn't so do not worry. Our nervous system is sensitive therefore any emotion or slight threat to our fight or flight response will set them off. Just think of it as a way your hearts letting you no it's still beating think of it positively xx
No, honey - I'm a nurse and your heart can stop for lots of reasons. But at your age the likelihood of you suddenly dropping dead is extremely small.
Demi, you need to carry on with your therapy.
As XxaimxX has said, she herself went through this very recently and now she regaining her confidence.
Keep posting so that we know how you are getting on. love Tess
I have to honest and disagree with SianDent.
If people go into cardiac arrest, even in an ICU with expert doctors and nurses immediately available, the chances of surviving the cardiac arrest are very, very small. I think programmes like ER make it seem that people are always going into cardiac arrest and that the staff usually succeed in resuscitating them.
I'm not telling you this to frighten you, Demi.
Your friend who died from dying was obviously under the water for too long.
In all deaths, from whatever cause, the heart stops beating. This is not cardiac arrest as such - it is just a dying patient (usually elderly) coming to the end of their life.
Have you any idea where these terrifying thoughts came from,
Demi?
Thankyou so much this made me feel better xx💗
So I will be fine then xx
I don't know it just happen it happen to the girl and suddenly I thought what If happen to me
But surely you can rationalise this as an unusual event - or maybe you can't. It's extremeley traumatic for a young girl to go through that.
Try, if you can, to make sure you see this girl's tragic drowning as having nothing whatever to do with you.
Thanks I will try
Sure. You'll be fine, Demi. Well, unless you get run over bya Mack Truck......................................
Honey, death comes to all of us, eventually. I'm worried that a young lady as you are is so panic-stricken by the thoought of dying.
Can you talk to your mom and dad?
Yeah I talked to my mom she told I will be fine she says it my anxiety I'm overthinking it and my mind is so focus on it that it make it feel real she said if I'm heart wasn't beating I wouldn't be standing xx
