View Full Version : TOTAL PANIC AGAIN
Hello,
I posted on Health Anxiety this morning but no one has replied I'm so sorry for repeating myself but I am so scared again.
I have just been looking up heart flutterings on internet, something I haven't done for ages, and they have scared me even more. Mine seem to be so often over the last few weeks and I don't know why. They are really scaring me and making me think something is really wrong with me now. I have had them for three years and I just wish I knew how to cope with them. I need to know other peoples experiences/symptoms to know that I am not alone and that others get the frequent/daily and have had them for a long time, with no other problems.
This is the major cause of my panic/anxiety and if I could just get past this I am sure I would be so much better all round.
Linda.

hi linda

Hi Linda,
I get these aswell, I have spoken to the doctor. They are nothing to worry about, all part of the anxiety. Problem is, the more you worry, the more aware you will be of them and the worse they will seem. Try your deep breathing. I also agree with Helen, coughing does help me.
Take care, try not to worry. Or maybe mention it to the docter? Im sure its all anxiety.
The internet. Hmmm, thats my downfall, im always looking up symtoms and diagnosing myself. Thing is, I tend to find other symptoms and then we get the worse case scenario. Try to stay off it for symptoms. Im fighting that one.
PM me if you want to talk

Keep focused, keep positive.
Hi Linda
Sorry to hear you arent doing too good again, but dont forget it is anxiety and you have had many incidents in your life that has led you to this.
You are only human hun and what you have being through will bring on health issues, but it is anxiety and the symptoms are anxiety and nothing more. We all suffer differently and this is how you suffer, i can sympathise with you and in time it will get better.
When you feel like this you need to lean on others, husband etc to give you some space. Whether he likes it or not given a few minutes to calm down and have that time to yourself if will pass quicker.
Wish i lived nearer and could be of more help with you, but you know i am always here to listen and support you however i can. A few months back you were alone with this, now you are not you have us to help you through it.
Love Sal xx
Dont mess up the best things in your life, just because at present you are unsure who you are.
Thanks for replying to me, I know I get scared and this doesn't help my symptoms. They had disappeared since about 5pm this afternoon but just noticed a few more, when I got up and came to log on computer.
Its nice to know I have people here who can understand what I'm going through. I don't tend to tell my husband or many people around me if I'm having the ectopics so much now, and he generally thinks most of the time I'm ok. I just tend to deal with it on my own or come on her and bug all of you.
Speak to you tomorrow.

Tell him, you need his support and time out from it all. It works both ways he has time out from the children and you need a few minutes or more if you feel like this to get through it.
We all deserve some space and you especially.
Lots of hugs mate.

Thanks Sal, but the stupid thing is, this weekend I should have been totally chilled. He took the kids to his moms yesterday, we had a night out together and had a really good time and still I got panicky. What a wreck. Admittedly, because I had a bit to drink last night, that will have helped trigger the ectopics today, but that isn't usually the case. Although I do drink its not often I drink excessively, saying that last night, I was only merry, not out of my head drunk!!!
PM me when you can, let me know how you're doing. I have been thinking of you, but have been selfishly wrapped up in my own fears and searching for answers, so haven't checked many other posts unless they relate to my symptoms, but lots of hugs back to you and I hope you're doing ok. Remember I'm here for you too if you need to talk, it might take my mind of these stupid things!
Take care,
Love, Linda.xxx
You are not being selfish at all, you are having a hard time and i will help you all i can.
Sometimes the fact we are allowed to relax leads us to panic, suddenly the bussiness of our lifes is removed and we have time to think, i know how that feels.
Its a question of getting the measure right from being busy and having time out and chilling rather than that time out becoming a worry session.
Pleased you two had a good night together, you deserve many of them. Will pm you but you look after yourself and dont worry about letting me down at all. I know if i need you you are here for me.
Love Sal xx

Thanks Sal, I know you've got a lot on your plate and you're still here for all of us.
A funny thing my son said today (he's four at the end of the month) he told his nan (my dreaded mother in law!!!) that, "my mom isn't coming to your house ever again because she doesn't like you!!!"Whoops!!! I told him to make sure he gets it right next time, that the reason I'm not going is cuz she doesn't like me!!!!! Out of the mouth's of babes.......
You take good care of yourself and I'll speak to you soon, better tear myself away from the computer soon, or I'll be tired tomorrow and even more anxious.
Love, Linda.xxx
Children, they put it in black and white dont they, but sometimes the wrong way round. Regardless of how i feel i want to help people, i know i have had a few days away from the site but i suppose my training at work shows you have to turn it off and focus on others.
You get a good nights sleep and i will talk to you tomorrow.
Love Sal xx

hi linda
i was reading your post i get the same as you ectopic's everyday and it scares me to, i can just b watching tv and i get them. It makes me angry sometimes when i'm anxiety free i still get them, like u i have had them for 3yrs that's when i had my first panic/anxiety attack. Its hard not to think about it when u know they r there u wait for the nxt one, some days i might not get them for hours so u r not alone.
take care

Hi,
Sal, it was lovely talking to you last night, I don't often stay up late enough to go in Chat Room and I was really tired this morning, but it was worth it.
Lin, thanks for your reply, its nice to know we're not on our own, but how scary are they??? Have you had all usual tests etc.. and been told they are 'just' anxiety? Please feel free to PM me would be nice to support each other through this.
Not been too bad day, still had them. I have made appointment with docs for Wednesdayay, but not expecting much there, also last year went to see a Chinese Herbal Doc who gave me stuff, but I was too scared to take. I had enough today, with the ectopics, and decided to give them a go. Will let you know how I get on.
Speak to you all soon,
Love, Linda.x
Good luck with the herbal remedies Linda. Let us know how you get on!! :D
Hope the tablets give you some relieve Linda.
Good luck with the doctors aswell on Wedneday, let us know how it goes.
Love Sal xx

Hi,
Thanks for the messages of support. I have felt a bit better last couple of days, is it the chine se herbs or is it because I am past all the hormonal upheavals of a womans cycle? I think I'm usually ok between days 18 - 27 anyway so now I won't know if the chinese herbs are working for a while. I had some missed beats when I woke up this morning, but the general anxious feeling that I had been having seems to have passed, so far, so at leasts thats something.
I have continued walking to work each day. It has to be about 1 and a half to two miles and I get there in about 30mins. Yesterday I did it without noticing hardly any missed beats or being scared, so another achievment!
Docs tonight, which I don't expect I'll have any support from, but I feel I need him to know how I feel sometimes.
Hope you are all doing ok.
Love,
Linda.x
Hi Linda
Hope it went okay at the docs and pleased you have being doing okay.
Well done you.
Love Sal xx

Hi Sal,
Guess what, missed doc appointment, had customers as I was due to close and could hardly kick them out, so had to rearrange for next Wednesday but 5.20pm so that gives me plenty of time to close up!!!lol
However.........I am still feeling much better. Is it the Chinese Herbs or is it because I am coming to the end of my monthyl cycle?? We'll find out next week, which is when I'm pre-menstrual and ectopics and anxiety are usally 10times worse, but right now, don't feel unusually anxious and missed beats are few and far between. A vast improvement. If I still feel like this I would recommend anyone to see a Chinese Doctor for alternative medicine.
How are you doing. Sorry not been in touch, time just seems to fly and now my hubby isn't at that stupid job!!lol thinks are better at home and we are doing more together. Won't forget you all though and will still find time to post on here.
Take care,
Love,
Linda.xxx
hi Linda,
Glad to hear that you're feeling much better. It sounds like the Chinese herbs are doing the trick!! Let's hope the anxiety doesn't come back..
Sarah :D
Hi Linda

Sounds like you are doing really well at the moment, keep it up.
Love Sal xx

Will let you know what it was like......
Speak to you all soon,
Love,
Linda.x
