Oh god iam so over this. It's it anxiety or is it something more serious. I am driving myself insane. I woke up this morning with some discomfort thinking thank goodness i feel better today so about 1 hr ago i go to bed than it srarts all over again. Pounding heart beat and this weird sensation in my chest like my heart skips a beat than i google the symptoms again and well its gets worse from there. Honestly dnt know how much more i can take

      I know how you are feeling to an extent, my every waking thought is about dying, I'm on tablets, but they don't seem to be very effective. Have you tried doing any sort of self help? I do a thing called headspace x

      It's an app that u listen to through your headphones, it's meant to teach you relaxation techniques, how to think differently. Depending on what country u are in, there are bound to be things on your app store xx

      Hi, I suggest u try and take your mind off it with distracting yourself ie, crafts, knitting, doing the washing, reading, anything just to take your mind off panicking. Have u heard of rescue remedy??? That really helps to calm you down and u take take it alongside any meds and use as often as needed. I have suffered extreme anxiety and still get anxiety now even though I'm on meds but I have just learnt to knit and it has seriously helped me take my mind off being panicky aswell as rescue remedy. I am on 50mg sertraline x1 a day and propranolol 40mg x3 a day. Propranolol stops the heart from racing and stops the physical side of an anxiety attack ie trembling, fast heart, high blood pressure, sweats etc.
