Hello Everyone,
What a wonderful web site, completely devoted to those of us with Panic/Anxiety disorders! I love it.
I will go into my LONG story another time, first I have a question about heart palpitations. I am familiar with all forms, PVC's, pounding heart, yadda yadda yadda. The newest thing I have that has me going into a frenzy is every night, right when I turn my light out to sleep I get a this strangest feeling.
I can feel a fast pulse through my body that is "shaking me" literally. But when I check my pulse it is slower than the shaking sensation. And then I get scared and my heart starts to race and have palpitations from being scared of it. I feel it sometimes during the day when I'm at my desk at work. I seem to only get terrified of it at night. When I'm laying in bed, the shaking kind of starts and stops but that scares me because if I'm associating it with my real heart beat, I get scared that my heart is starting and stopping. Does this make sense to anybody?
I'm a 28 year old female, currently on Remeron (which really is working to keep major panic attacks in check). This problem began a month ago after I had a heart "flutter" that really scared me and amped up my anxiety. I've been needing a Xanax to sleep at night and that is barely working.
Has anyone else felt these very hard to describe sensations?
Thank you!! Shelly
