Hi, haven't been on for a while and usually post in the Health Anxiety section. I posted this in the panic attack section but most I think are venturing in and out of the health anxiety section so have reposted in here to see if someone can help because I am worse than ever..
To cut a long story short, my heart rate randomly (maybe twice a day) just suddenly increases to around 120+, I can't breath, I get hot and feel dizzy. Now, I have tried several times and sometimes it works - to do my breathing exercises and it usually can calm it down within 10mins or so. Still feeling rubbish after. But this morning, no matter what I did it just kept racing and racing. So I grabbed the Propanolol that was prescribed and took half a 10mg tablet. I have taken a couple before and felt dreadful after. But I took the risk again..
Of course it did bring my heart rate down but again has left me feeling sick, dizzy, slightly confused and absolutely freezing hands. Just feel plain awful.
Anyone else experienced these issues with Propanolol? I know it is a really low dose but blooming knocks the wind out me when I take them.
So my day is pretty much checking my heart rate. I have sat for 2 hours in the same seat just checking and checking my heart rate.
This is just PANTS.
Just to add, there is a suspicion by the GP I am suffering from overactive thyroid symptoms having had a high end of normal result that then when back into just normal range..
Help me!!!
My life is just rubbish. I can't do anything without worrying about these attacks and my heart. I am so fed up.
Advice?
Thank you.
