I've been dealing with anxiety issues for close to a year now ( GAD / OCD-related to intrusivethoughts )
To make a long story short, I was put on Clomipramine ( 100 mg ) and everything really "normalised" for me. About 2 days ago when I took my meds, about 5 minutes afterwards my heart rate shot up. Before taking my meds I was completely calm and had no intrusive thoughts.
....since then I've been having minor heart discomfort. No pain or serious stuff but just discomfort and it hasn't gone away. Is this just anxiety or should I go see a doctor ASAP ?
Hi I've had days were for no reason my heart feels like it's coming out of my chest. Ask doc . Just to reassure you. Something small could have caused it and our anxiety loves to jump in when it gets the slightest chance. Before we know it we convince our self we're dying but do see doc. If you read my past stuff you'll see exactly how bad it can b and how similar we are . Keep talking to people who know how you feel and know what anxiety feels like❤️
Hey John
I'm actually on the same medication. I've been on it for about nine days. It's 25 mg and I do wake up in the morning and my heart feels like it's palpitating. It does go away but it seems to happen every morning. Do you have issues with urination? Do you find this medication makes you pretty groggy?
Sorry meant to ask did u leave agap between meds.if I do I wake heart racing then panic and anxiety kicks in making my heart racing worse. Also racing thoughts and OCD drive me mad. Would def ask doc about this .ive been like this for years and when what your describing pops up I panic because I don't know what's causing it.
