    I'm sorry I'm not from any of the areas you want people from Jesus, but I wanted to say hi. You know something? There is no shame at all in taking medication for a little while to get yourself stabilised. I hope you feel better soon.

    It's probably just anxiety but even if it was your heart they have a lot of medication now that makes your heart beat in the right rhythm I have a lot of friends who take medicine because of their heart goes out of beat, it doesn't shorten your life you can live a normal life if it is something to do with your heart technology is so good in this area but also as I said it's probably anxiety which can cause the same kind of symptoms.

    Hello Jesus,

    My dear friend,

    Don't worry, We are here for you,

    And just know that you are not alone,

    Unfortunately, People still do not accept having to deal with persons suffering from Stress or Mental Fatigue and Anxiety,

    Know that you are not alone....

    From What I read in your paragraph, Your anxiety is trying to make you feel bad, but know this, It is controlled by you my friend. Picking on a wound doesnt heal it, it just takes longer to heal, Similarly, thinking about anxiety will not stop it, But, It will take some time for you to adapt with it,

    There are some things you may need to do to reduce your Anxiety, It works well and this form of treatment is called Cognitive Behavioural therapy or CBT, 

    This is something that you may have to speak to your doctor about ok...

    He will guide you to professionals who train to reduce anxiety by teaching you, several relaxation techniques, and Thought modification.

    Since this takes some time, You may have to take some meds.

    Don't worry it is treatable...

    The other thing...

    Was it SVT or Sinus tachycardia?

    Just find out, sometimes, it helps to take a second opinion.

    Considering you are a Boxer, You must be into a lot of Physical activity, also, Cardio exercises, and lots of Training, Over time the cardiac Muscle tone Improves, and the amount of Blood volume pushed into the Body is so good that the heart has to beat lesser, 

    That is why Atheletes have low Heart rates.

    It should be above 50, but you can get it checked when you visit the cardiologist ok...

    Know that all of us here support your Doing well. Take care.

      Many people do not know that the origin for their anxiety conditions is in their childhood years and stressful and fearful environments that are imposed on them when they did not have the nervous system or strategy or power to change the environments or demands, and get emotional needs met at critical times in development....it can get better through cognitive therapy, natural stress reducing stratagies, staying away from stressful lifestlyles, practicing a healthy lifestyle, getting out into nature, relaxation techniques and staying away from emotional triggers.

    Hello Jesus, I was reading your post and I thought I should reply to you as I can relate a bit to your story. I suffer from Anxiety and Panic Attacks which recently turned into Agoraphobia, and also I been told I have Sinus Tachycardia. 

    I have been told by the cardiologist that the Tachycardia will go when the anxiety and panic attacks will subside which did when my anxiety was more manageable. Hope it goes alright for you. Take care

      Thank you so much Adrian I really appreciate it and I a little more calm know I thought this was something really bad but know I see my doctor told me that I have to reduce my anxiety for them to give me a good heart diagnosis cuz my anxiety is really bad she said I'm anxious all day so onow both holter monitor I had done this came up one stupid doctor scared me telling me I mite need a pace maker that was like the very first doctor I ever visited I'd never gotten this bad to the point that I was crying all day so I'm pretty sure what that doctor told me made my anxiety even worse

    That's how the anxiety and panic goes. To be honest, even though I know deep down thats nothing dangerous and if it was, something would of happend since September last year, I still freak out about it and I have this irational health anxiety.

     Are you on any medication at the moment?
