I have been dealing with anxiety for sometime now. I have been taking paraxitone which has been helping but i do have heart palpitations. I've been to the er dozens of times and xrays and ekgs are always normal and so is blood work. But i still wake up in the middle of the night with my heart pounding fast and my head just going crazy. It so scary and i feel like my life I ending. Also during the day my heart at times feels like it's pounding hard and it's scary. I feel so alone bc nobody understands what I'm going through and I don't know what to do anymore. I'm 30 years old i don't smoke or do drugs. I'm 5'10 and weigh 270 pounds and have lost 40 pounds since August. Someone please help me....
I hadbetablovkets to help with the fast breathing. Also deep breathing techniques to help relax you. Speak to ykurdrfor some help.
I guarantee you have sleep apnea. You panic cause you stop breathing in sleep. I have this too. I'm getting a cpap machine to help fix this.
Mike so do you wake up gasping for air? Bc I use to but it's been a long time since I woke up gasping for air. Now it's my heart that pounds fast and im tensed up.
Also I don't snore
You don’t have to snore to have sleep apnoea. People wake up panicked all the time from sleep apnoea and chiking in their sleep. Your symptoms sound classic. Being overweight, having a large neck circumfrence, and waking up with rapid heart rates and sure fire symptoms. I work in sleep medicine and I would totally get checked if I were you.
It's definitely anxiety which is getting worse i have the same problem heart palpitation and i wake up scared to death all the time especially in the middle of night and than i can't go to sleep again idk why I'm constantly worried about something which idk what that is sometimes it gets so hard to cope with it i hope you get over it soon just remember you're not alone in this horror mess
