Hi anyone who's reading this

I'm amy and im 23 years old.

I don't really know why IV signed into this. I'm guessing that im looking for some kind of help from people who understand exactly how I feel right now. And im hoping this will help me a little.

Iv been diagnosed with having anxiety and its completelty got the better of me so fast and I need to beat it. I have a One year old daughter and im not myself what so ever and its frustrating ME and getting me upset because this anxiety has completely taken over and I don't know how to over come IT.

It's really started 5 months ago, I started to get migraines. Really bad ones. Which left me blury eyed for 5 days. Eventually part of my vision went from straining so I had to wear glasses 24-7 which was hard to her used to for me as I feel self concious. After that My migraines were intense for a food few months. This year has little been horribke for me so far. (If your still reading and havent got bored yet thanks! 😂)

Anyway my anxiety started. Which I was in denial about. I kept getting pains in my arms. Chest pains. To which I had my first panic attack and ended up in a&e for 11 hours. Ever since then im convinced something bad will happen to me. Every weird twinge in my body. To me IT was something bad about to Start.

I started getting heart palpitations and I couldn't calm myself down. They would start randomly at any point of the day and I was confused as to why they would start.

Iv now been put on propanolol or how ever you spell it. To calm me down. Iv been on it 2 days. 10mg 3times a day

There helping with my heart palps but after reading all the side affects. And stupid googling i keep getting myself in a panic about taking them😭😭

I really want to over come this as soon as I can. I'm a confident person and I don't know how this has won.

Has anyone got any tips how to get over this. I want to come off this betablocker asap. And get back to my normal self

Are there any ways of helping heart palps without meds

Any advice would be greatful

I don't want to get depressed over this 😩

Thanks for reading x

      I suffer real bad with the same thing there is not a day that goes by where one half of my brain is fighting the other half telling me I'm ill. People here can realy help eachother as if you don't no anyone that has been through the same thing its impossible to believe you can get such intense symptoms due to anxiety. My doctor has put me on mirrazapine which are amazing unlike most anxiety neds which wikk just make you a lot worse

    Sweetie believe me I understand I have had anxiety for many many years along with migraines do not let it drive you crazy try to deal with it because it can be very unsettling and scary but you can cope with it. It just takes a little bit of practice and maybe some medication to get over the anxiety. I have been dealing with this for about 15 years and it still freaks me out every little twinge every little hurt every little thing that isn't just right sometimes will throw me into an unexpected panic attack. It does not help that I have migraines but those I deal with also.

    I hope that you find some relief and comfort knowing that there are many of us out here & don't let it ruin and run your life. You can do this and still be happy smile

    Good luck

    Hi there: How are you making out? I know your post is very old, but I am having horrible heart palpitations that are not anxiety related (however, I do panic when they hit me!) and have started Apo-Bispropolol 2nd day now and they are not working (2.5mg once a day) I feel like killing myself and fear I may if they don't stop. I tried doing everything I read to stop the palpitations and nothing works, so I am trying this med...but it's not working either. I hope you are okay. X0
