Anxiety.
Posted , 139 users are following.
Hello, my name is Hayley and am 22. I found this forum and I would really like to share my experience and talk to other people who may be experiencing what I am experiencing. I feel like none of my family really understand how hard it is dealing with this.
I first started stressing over a year ago, I was having dental problems and because going the dentist is my biggest phobia I was really really stressing about it. The fact that the problems I had weren't clearing didn't help either and I found myself obsessing and stressing over it everyday. Getting myself worked up by googling the problems I was having and panicking even more when I read what could eveventyally happen. That's when I think my heart palpitations happened.
I've had palpitations since then I think I can't quite remember when they started but they were definitely as a result. I did go the doctors over this and the doctor said because of my age it was going to more as a result of anxiety then heart problems and told me to stop worrying and keep busy basically.
So I did try and do exactly that but it's actually really hard to just not worry and not stress about things. Keeping busy helps I find but if something is worrying or bothering you it's only going to stay in your mind and won't go away.
Anyway I've recently been going the doctors about this again as I found it's gotten worse.
This summer I experienced what I think was my first panic or anxiety attack and at the time I wasn't particularly worrying about anything, it was so random. Since then they have happened occasionally, the palpitations continue and I often feel like I can't breathe, my heart races and I feel sick.
It really scares me cause I feel like there is something wrong with my heart, like my heart is going to give up and stop or that I'll end up having a heart attack. Even though I have had two ECGs I still believe there is something wrong, everytime I get a palpitation I panic which obviously makes it worse.
Today I suddenly went light headed in tesco and that scared me, I feel so weak and sick I just want to go to sleep. If this is anxiety it's slowly starting to affect me daily and I feel completely helpless.
I just want to talk to people who are experiencing what am feeling, who understand it all really.
Anyone having regular palpitations like me? I got given some beta tablets today to slow my heart rate and to help with them. Has anyone been given something like that by their doctor and did they work?
Would really appreciate talking to others in a similar position about this.

I suggest all of you give it try. I'm sure you'll begin to pray for me after three weeks of regularly using these medicines. In the first two weeks you'll feel a bit strange, but after that everything gets normal.
Cheers!!

I'm a 20 year old male and I suffer from high anxiety. Probably due to stress... anyways, around September I experinced my first anxiety attack. I was going through a lot that month; had a major fight with my girlfriend, I was short on money, just quit my job due to poor treatment of employess, I was constantly given the burden of watching my little brother for 4 days a week (which didn't bother me, my mom works a lot, but I guess it took it's toal on me), and I work on YouTube and have a fairly large amout of subscribers (around 72,000, trust me working online isn't as easy as it looks). When I experinced my first attack I had just smoked marjuana and hadn't eaten much that day, although I had consumed a large amount of coffee because I was working late on YouTube. My heart began to race as I was in bed watching a movie, I was shaking, feeling hot, dizzy, pretty much all of the symptoms one get's from a basic panic attack. It was random and I was rather scared when it happened. I quickly went to my roommate in the other room, she called 911 after taking my pulse (which was very high), and I was rushed to the ER. In the end the doctors called it off as a attack due "Marijuana dependence" and "Tachycardia". Marjuana dependence... I call BS because I had been smoking since I was about 15 and have never experinced something like that before. Anyways after that I was fine, I went home and made up with girl and things were just easy. Then a few months later; I broke up with my girlfriend because I was moving to LA due to another flash of emense stress at home, same stuff as before really, I was then stressing about dental work becuase my teeth are in rather bad shape, not to mention this whole change just did a number on me. And that's when had another attack. I was at home alone watching Anime and it just hit me out of nowhere like before! It was shorter than the last one and I ended up just taking deep breaths and it passed withing twenty minutes (thank god).
Now here's where it gets, well, interesting. This sunday I was watching football with my grandmother and my heart began to race again, she gave me a zanax and it quickly faded after about 20 or 30 minutes, I then fell asleep and awoke with small anxiety. I hear this is normal after an attack. So yesterday I made a call to the doctor and scedueled a meet up, hopefully nothing else is wrong but I highly doubt it due to the many tests I took the first time I visited the ER (EKG, blood work, you name it. The bill was pretty high and I'm still paying it off haha)
It sucks, anxiety is just horrible and there's honestly not much you can do about it. My friends and family tell me it's all in my head, but they have to understand it's harder to control then that. I drink a lot of water now, listen to music when I'm feeling anxious, I take deep slow breaths, try not to stress, I quit smoking pot, swithched from cigarettes to a vape with low nicotine, and I play League of Legneds or something like that just to keep myself focused. Being the anxious/hypercondriac person I am I'm sure this isn't the last of my attacks, but after I talk to the Doc and maybe explore some other fields things may get better.
Anyways, thanks for reading and give me your thoughts if you'd like! Many of these stories I read really inspired me to write this and share my own. God bless all of you! We'll get through this, we are young and we are strong.
