Hi everyone, I would really appreciate it if you could read through my post and offer any advice or experiences you may have.
I have suffered with anxiety for about 15 months now after a few major things which happened in my life. I suffered mentally and physically. I spent time on Sertraline for nearly a year and have just come off it 3 weeks ago.
I am feeling a lot better mentally, I have my own little methods of dealing with this, techniques I have learnt. Where I am really struggling and have been doing for nearly all the 15 months is physical symptoms.
I am at my wits end because i feel I have done so well to come off the Sertraline, my mind is in a better place but I still have this constant tight heart with numb feeling, it is the most horrible feeling, I feel as if i could have a heart attack or as if it is causing serious damage to lead up to one
I have a very high pressured job as a business owner, I don't know if this feeling is health anxiety or whether it is from stress/system overload or even is it Angina? Angina symptoms are what I am feeling, constant tight, numb and the thought of exercise makes me think I will over exert myself
Sometimes my heart jumps with a pain and weird sensation that i know is not normal, this happens when watching an exciting movie or sport, it just happens all of a sudden
When I read about anxiety or try to learn more about heart/health anxiety, the feeling is getting tighter, even typing this it is twitching more and being tighter, when I think about my heart it feels worse but because it feels bad in the first place I cant stop thinking about it
Does anyone else feel this or have felt this? Any responses would be really appreciated beyond belief
