Me even thinking about this right now is making me heart race super fast n I feel like I can't breathe!! I'm so scared please someone help me .. My heart flutters all the time n feels like it ain't beating right 
Hi Michaela, I am so sorry to hear that you have such severe anxiety...have you been to see your GP, if not, it is essential to do so for your own peace of mind.....I am sure that it is very, very, very unlikely that you have a problem with your heart...you would have symptoms such as blue lips and finger nails, and also feel like an elephant is on your chest...
I know that anxiety can be crippling, I had it for many years, I got so anxious I would not leave the house alone....I am FINE now, I have been on antidepressants for many years, they have completely turned my life around...please get help for this at 19yrs you should be enjoying life... see your GP as soon as you can, I wish you MUCH luck and peace of mind....Take care, sincere regards, DEIRDRE xx
Hello Deirdre. I have seen my gp I'm on medcation antidepressants called mirtizapine n propranolol .. My anxiety is so bad I don't even leave my house, I feel like I can't breath with this anxiety makes me feel like I'm dying 😩. I'm waiting on a cardiologst this month I'm seeing them gp said he don't think there's nothing with my heart. My heart beats really fast n feels like it's not going right I duno if this is jusy all in my mind but it's ruined me. Hope ur ok x
Hi Michaela, I am so sorry that you are suffering so badly....hopefully when you see the cardiologist they will be able to put your mind at rest...have you asked your GP if you could try a mild tranquilizer just to make your everyday life a little easier?.. I know that it can be absolutely terrifying to constantly feel so bad.....
Remember, if it ever gets so bad that you feel you are having difficulty breathing, then go straight to A AND E or call am ambulance.....my heart goes out to you, but it will get better...big hugs to you, DEIRDRE xxx
They won't give me no tablets like that they think I'm to young for it!! I hate living the life I live it's so horrible. I have rang an ambulance and been AnE before wen I felt like I couldn't breath they said it's just anxiety 😔.. Thankyou for replying Deirdre means a lot xxxx
I am so sorry you had no help, try to hang on in there...your GP owes you a duty of care, never give up...request again for a mild tranquilizer, they must realize how much your anxiety is affecting your life, go with your parents next time to back you up....big hugs to you..DEIRDRE xx
I know what you're feeling is real, you're 19? you said you suffer from panic disorder. I'd say the odds of you having a heartattack are like the odds of gravity failing and we all start floating to space. I'm so serrious, I know it feels intense, and scary, try to focus on external things, whats on tv, what someone is talking about.. music, the material of the rug/couch .. petting your cat or dog.. running water over your hands.. trying to breath slow and remind yourself 'these feelings will pass, It's okay to feel overwhelmed and need to take a minute to just breath and do what makes you feel peaceful. I know these tips wont help completely. but might help somewhat. it will pass
So do you think my age I won't likely have a heart attack?? I'm so scared I just feel like something is seriously wrong anxiety has ruined my life I can't even work or leave my house and I duno how to shake this feeling off😩.. I do try take my mind of things but it don't seem to help that much thanks for replying to my post redwritinghood means a lot xx
Dear Michaela, you must, must, MUST make your GP understand just how seriously this crippling anxiety has taken over your life, and is completely interfering in every action of your daily living, OR NOW...LACK OF IT...he needs to realize that you simply cannot carry on like this...have you got anybody such as ( family or a friend ) to back you up...at the moment he/she are failing you in their duty of care...you can call the MIND helpline for advice, also the SAMARITANS are always there to help and encourage you...please, please do not give up or lose hope, you need help and you deserve help...keep your chin up, big, big, big, big, and Great Big hugs to you, Take care,,,please...DEIRDRE xxx
