Anxiety question

[SleeplessFog]

Can you be anxious or have symptoms without heart racing? Usually when I am anxious I get "jacked up" as I call it. I get a faster HR and I get flush.

I keep having these odd episodes where I feel like something in my chest isn't right and I feel weird. No palpitations or fast heart beats.

Is that possible? Just seems a bit odd.

I have very bad anxiety without my HR going up. Very often in fact. Sometimes, strangely, my heart rate seems oddly slow. I think because I try to do such deep breathing while being anxious.

Yes, it's possible. I'm doing it right now. I'm shaking and nervous but my heart rate is in the 60s.

OK phew...I feel better about this. I was thinking it was something else since I didn't feel flush or fast HR. Thank you!!!!
