Notes on Anxiety and irregular heartbeat

yes anxiety can cause that. Millions of people have that symptom with anxiety. Especially skipped beats, fast heart rate and pounding heart feeling . As long as you've been checked out by your doctor and everything's fine, then the most likely culprit is anxiety. Try some slow long deep breathing until you feel your heart settle down . Always go right to your breathing when you start to feel anxious or get symptoms.

It happens to me too ! It shouldnt take too long for the ekg. When I go to the ER thinking that something is srsly wrong with me Im in panick mode the whole time im there & my heart beats so fast when im panicking and anxious so thats why theyve had me do ekgs twice but thank god my heart is healthy. My heart doesnt bother me anymore I dont pay attention to it and I barely even feel heart palpitations now or it even beating. I find that cold water and breathing in & out calms me down

Me too I just wish I can be happy again. Usually I can control my anxiety & I can relax a bit more but every 3 months or so it just gets so discontrolled. Im visiting my doctor today hoping im healthy & that I can get therapy or medication for this. You'll be okay its just in your head you are overthinking too much ! I do this too & I End up making myself sick, my mom tells me the same too. Ive had trouble sleeping too but this week ive been sleeping well & it does make you feel a bit better so try to get as much as sleep as you can

I try so hard to sleep and I just can't and when I do I wake up after hours of trying and am in complete fear and anxiety so that's me stuck up rest of night. I've been to doctors multiple times a was put on sertraline made everything worse so came off and it's been since then they drugs messed with my head and gave me insomnia.. now they're giving me sleeping pills and am to scared to take them but a need sleep.. sorry for my rant and sorry your suffering

Are you anxious today Danielle? Your not gonna die it's just a symptom that can only get better with time.. are you able to distract yourself for while as keeping your mind buzy really helps calms yourself down enough to see that it's just anxiety

Have you got anyone that can talk with you and re assure you like mum, dad friend? Sometimes just a hug or Someone telling you everything is ok is good as well to settle you down.. I see you've seen your doctor and they've been happy with your blood pressure and heart.. take this as re assurance that it's nothing bad it's just anxiety

Shortness of breath is very common with anxiety. You see, anxiety is very tiring on our bodies, so it's normal to feel the shortness of breath.
I used to get the shortness of breath, weakness, rapid and slow heart rate, pounding heart, etc. It's OK . They feel scary but you will be just fine!
All those feelings you get like slow heart rate, etc are not harmful. I had those for many years before I learned how to manage them better. They absolutely did me no harm!
It would benefit you to learn proper breathing techniques when you feel this way.
It takes you away from concentrating on symptoms and focus on your breathing.
Try the meditations for breathing on you tube.
Actually if you are really stressed, search for meditation for Panic attacks/emergency anxiety relief. They guide you through the anxiety and breathing. This is the Mindfulness approach which is very popular around the world.
You going to be OK!! 🌸🌸🌸🙂
