I have been moderately depressed and anxious for a while now and have had the occasional palpitations and mental symptoms until last week when I started getting breathlessness, like I couldn't get enough air no matter how much I took in which lasted for three days then died down but now my pulse is 10-20 bpm faster than it was and I am getting palpitations and general pains here and there. I committed the ultimate sin and looked up my symptoms now I'm convinced I have heart failure or something similar and now I break down every hour in fear of dying but am too nervous to go see a doctor. Has anyone else had similar issues???
It never hurts to go to your doctor and have some tests done on your heart. If anything, you could a little reassurance from it but it is most likely anxiety rearing it’s ugly head. How old are you?
Only 20 lol
Good question? How old are you? I'v been posting on this site for a while now! I'm 67!!!!and a sports, fitness nut, resting pulse 40+, anything coffee, beer, food and it goes up. Running? 10km pulse? 130BPM. It's easy for me to say, because I'm a 60 years veteran of anxiety disorders, and still alive!!!!! Modern day life gives symptoms fancy names! GAD. Adrenaline, cortisone etc! Simple? Try meditation, deep diaphragmatic breathing.
I’m only 20 but haven’t done much physically the last two years because of depression and straight up laziness but I checked my blood pressure and it was normal however my heart just feels weird I guess, it’s really hard to explain
You are so young. My guess is probably anxiety, but for reassurance you could go get checked out. It might help ease your anxiety. Also try you tube EFT Tapping. It helps me calm down and see if you feel any better.
