I have been suffering with anxiety for a few years now on and off and just after christmas it cam back big style, i do seem to be getting it under control but do have the off days..
The thing is i don't get the hyperventilation but i get this feeling like i am being suffocated but i get an intense feeling of being scared and my shoulders go sooo tight and then my heart pounds..I have an obsession with my heart and constantly feel my pulse to make sure it is beating properly cos i do get palpitations and eptopics but sometimes i get this feeling as if my heart is slowing down as if it is going to stop.Does anyone else get this..i then start to panic jump up then my heart races.I have had a bad couple of weeks but i can put my finger on why it's because my younger brother has been very ill and i have been so worried so i'm sure it is just panic/anxiety but sometimes i convince myself it's my heart and i'm going to be ill....
