Healthy Heart

[twister]

Just thought I'd let everyone know my psychiatrist told me that during a panic attack is the least likely time you'll have a heart attack. This is because adrenaline widens the heart valves allowing more blood to pump round which is the exact opposite of a heart attack. They actually inject people having heart attacks with adrenaline.

Remember that next time you get the heart attack fear

Emily!

GOD BLESS YOU FOR SHARING THAT WITH US! I am going to write that down and look at it often, so I will at least diminish that irrational fear of mine!

Hugs,

Hi Emily,

Thats the kind of knowledge as anxiety sufferers need to help us stop fearing the worst...

If I feel a PA coming on I will keep this in mind..that should stop in in its tracks!!

Thanks

What a great mind therapy!
That seems to make sense.
So does the breathing. You are producing more adreniline then you are using
and this is why we seem out of breath.
