Ok so I'm after some advice. I have been a bit unwell now for 8 weeks. It started with a vomiting bug that lasted 2 weeks. The sickness stopped and i just had nausea. Then i became dizzy at everything I did. I now have bad nausea, dizziness, raally tired, one leg hurts and kreps going cold and purple, fast heart beat that goes to between 105-150 when standing and really bad aniexty. I have been to a and e and they first said it was aniexty I went on citroplam and had a bad allergic reaction to went to a and e again who said it was Pots. My heart beat keeps going high and does not settle so have been to a and e again who said it was not pots as it's happening when sitting and standing and laying. And also my blood pressure can drop very low on standing or go very high. My body is throwing some strange things at me. Basically. Just want to hear if anyone else is going through this or no what it is. I have been referred to cardiology but it's a long wait. I currently find it hard to stand and do anything but push myself to do this as I have a child. I have also had the crisis team involved as my mood has got so low I keep having strange thoughts of not being here they have prescribed me diazepam but this does not stop the heart racing but does help with the aniexty . Would like to add that I also have a large varicuos vein that is also causing me a lot of problems since my raving heart started. Thank you

    Anxiety can make your body do strange things. The diazepam should have helped with the racing heart.

    It may be worth going on a different antidepressant. Have you heard of mindfulness? Starting to practice that may help with the anxiety so it's worth looking up. Xxxx

    My heartbeat gets fast at night when I try to sleep. I can feel it pumping and it's very uncomfortable. It's like you're trying to sleep and you are stressed about something. I've told my doctor and he says its normal however I am going to tell him to refer me to a specialist
