Skipped heart beats
Posted , 4 users are following.
hi guys. Lately I've been really struggling mentally again. I've had panic disorder since childhood, but I was only put on meds around 2008. (Which has changed many times-I feel like nothing works besides my actually calming tablet)
I'm 30, every few months/years I take a dip, and this time I've been really struggling with skipped beats, also having a rough time with my breathing and my stomach is so tight. 😩
has anyone ever felt like this?
all my love to you all.

skipped heartbeats, and problem with breathing are very common as you probably know with anxiety.
look for some breathing meditations on YouTube and practice them whenever you can. Proper breathing is the key to relaxing everything including the heart beats. Have you ever had counseling for this? A counselor can help you manage it. I know what a battle it can be, since I have had this issue since childhood.
feel free to message me anytime.

thank you so much for replying to me. I've NEVER come onto a forum before as I'm always hiding my anxiety and how severe it is.
I have seen a few psychologists, psychiatrists, and counselors and it does help, once I hit a dip again I feel like giving up. I don't go see anyone, I stay away from friends, I even stop driving.

To answer your question about if anyone has ever felt like that, I would say that pretty much all of us who have anxiety feel like this.
I also go through phases when it's better and others when it's worse, plus symptoms always seem to change, so that when you get used to them, along comes another set of symptoms to frighten you again, such is the nature of this beast 😤
I hope you will soon be in a "feeling better phase" x

oh, no, don’t ever give up! You don’t have to hide the anxiety. It’s extremely common as millions and millions of people all over the world have this. The sensations you get with anxiety are.NOT Harmful, even though they feel weird and scary. It’s basically the release of adrenaline that causes them.
everybody on this site can relate to you for sure. You can get lots of ideas on how to relieve the anxiety at least for a good while.
One thing that really helps me is when I exercise. That is something that is known to calm down the anxiety a lot. stay away from caffeine, sugar, junk foods. Those will aggravate anxiety.
we are here for you. Private message me anytime!

@sasical72 yes! its like you're in my thoughts. everything I feel like I've have one set of symptoms under control, I get a WHOLE new set.
I also feel like I try and try and I'm never where I would like to be with anxiety.
thank you so much for responding.
your message has made my heart feel eased. 💓

@jan34534 I've been pushing all week. I started to get bad and I can feel myself in a more "controlled" space right now, but still avoiding alot of things TBH. I know I am, I make excuses not to meet up with my friends.
started to make daily habits. 🤞🏼 hoping for the best.
im sending all the love x

Hello
What you describe sound so similar to how I'm feeling. I constantly think that I have a serious disease, I focus on every single sensation within my body. I understand how extra/missed heartbeats make you feel because I feel them too. I had abdominal surgery a year ago and I'm hyper aware of how my stomach feels all the time, I exhausted myself with the constant worry of it all. I don't think I can offer much in way of help to make you feel better, I just don't want you to feel alone. x
