Anxiety worsens
Posted , 3 users are following.
I have had severe anxiety for 9 months now I was diagnosed of general anxiety in Feb and I was put on pregabalin which made my anxiety worse so 8 weeks ago I was put on fluoxetine I was only on a low dose of 2.5ml which had side effects for 4 weeks but then I gradually got better until I started having heart palpitations at night don't know if it's coz I'm getting a lot of stress from my kids behaviours.. so my psychiatric told me to up my dose to 5ml which I did 3 days ago all I have felt is bad anxiety and fearing of dying.. I rang them up told them I can't cope anymore so she told me to go back to 2.5 till Monday and I've got to go see my psychiatric also they are testing me for ADHD..but I just feel so bad I feel really bad and my heart feels like it's gonna stop

I have suffered chronic anxiety for six years and over the last year also noticed the iregular heartbeat.
I had a 24hour monitor fitted and a full ultrasound heart scan, all was well.
The more you think about your heartbeat regrettably the more anxious you will become about it.
Make an appointment with your GP to have it checked out anyway then you will have peace of mind.
All the best

Totally same as other reply . Your anxiety is sky high . Glad your seeing docs etc. Palpitations with my anxiety are horrible , convinced the worst but had for years now and know they'll pass. We just want someone with a Chrystal ball to look into future and tell us nothing bads gonna happen. Sadly vast amounts of us live like this. We all get that feeling I can't take anymore. Keep talking , especially when panicking . I always say it's part of my therapy talking to people who know how this feels. We need reasurance to battle these constant negative thoughts??
