Racing heart!!

Mental health

Please help... I have a racing heart and have health anxiety and... Im currently drinking... Trying to drown my physical anxiety symptoms!!

What medication are you on ? Should you be drinking if you are ?

You are obviously having a panic attack how long has this been happening?

Drinking will make it worse, you need to stop and breath. And try and relax, you’ve got to tell your self your fine and that your not in damager as with anxiety your body feels like it is.

I experienced that earlier today . Literally just don’t concentrate on it. It races bc you become aware of it. Just breathe and carry on with your day ! You got this

Thanks for your reply carl. No Im not on any meds.... Ive refused too since Ivs used alcohol to drown out my anxiety but after doing that for 6 years... Its not working anymore...

Hi Bob, thanks for your reply! I was drinking jack and coke. I mainly obsess over my physical anxiety symptoms which makes ne feel like Im dying from something... It changes every week... Currently its all about pulmonary embolism. Thank you for your tips!

Thank you for your comment... Yea Im afraid to drink also.... I don't enjoy it anymore. Its scary cuz the drinking will race my heart up to almost 130 bpm... Which is usually 75 to 85.... I get the shakes and have bad attacks
