Hi, ive been reading thorugh the forum and it seems like a really great place to find support and guidance to get through anxiety issues.
I am 23 years old, male, I think im suffering from health anxiety as a constantly think my heart is going to stop or im going to have a heart attack. I get different symptoms every day and the anxiety is just getting out of control now I really need help.
I find myself in a near constant state of anxiety and having a full blown panic attack every couple of hours or so. I cant work, I can barely leave the house.
I have been to the doctors with chest pains and they say it is due to anxiety. I had an ECG which came back as normal but when i had the ECG my heart was racing due to the anxiety so it may have looked normal. My worry at the moment is that my heart rate gets very slow 45BPM and lower and my pulse is weak at times. This happens when im in a calm resting state so i would not have been in this state when I had the ECG at the hospital due the anxiety and fast heart rate. So could they have missed something? im thinking I may need a pacemaker.
Is this slow heart rate dangerous?
I used to go to the gym a few times a week but stoped about a month ago due to fear of something going wrong with my heart.
The anxiety all started when I was having random chest pains that gradually got worse and then this caused a full blown panic attack as I thought I was dieing. I have never been the same since that day.
My doctor perscribed me beta blockers which made me feel even worse. I went back and she said she thinks I probably need anti depressants but she cant perscribe them because I am to anxious and distressed?
I have chest pains on a off for months now varying from dull aches in the left of my chest to pain at the upper sternam and pain at the bottom of the sturnum.
I really dont no what to to with myself, I feel like im going insane, i feel hopeless?
If you have read my post thank you so much for taking the time and any advice would be greatly appreciated. I dont really have anyone to talk to. I just need some help I dont no where to turn.:weep:
