i'm new here!

[worrywort]

hello everyone i've just registered to your site i hope i can get some peace of mind now i've taken this positive step. i'm crying my eyes out as i type this, a mixture of relief, more anxiety and emotion! but i will try to give an account of my anxiety, i first started with symptoms 3 yrs ago, i thought i was going to die! i was having tremors and i thought i had a serious health problem. i went to see my Dr and was put on antidepressants and beta blockers. they did work and after 18 months or so i managed to come off them, i was so pleased. but now i'm back where i started i had to go and see my Dr again , and i've just experienced the worst w/end for a very long time. i just cant sleep i have the tremors again , which from past expereince i know that they are harmless, so i'm not worryed about them. but what i am worried about is at night i get the heart racing and it scares me becos it lasts along time (hours). and my appettite is going rapidly if i think about eating i feel sick, i can't even think about drinking but i am forcing myself to drink water. i feel a bit of a fool,and i worry that i wont be able to cope and that my lovley supportive husband will get sick of me, and that it will affect my little boy. my beta blockers were a god send last time but i've been put on a lower dose this time but my symptoms are getting worse and i have kept ringing the doctors since i was given them only last tuesday, to see if i can take more. so now i'm taking 20mgs three times a day , but to no avail, i think i remember last time it took a bit to work, but i've not been put on the antidepressents this time, if any one has any advice i would be very grateful, i'm sorry this first greeting could not be more positive, i hope that with regular help it will become so. thank you

Hi,

Welcome to the forum, you will get a lot of good advice here and make some good friends.

The reason you are feeling the racing heart at night is because you are more relaxed and your mind is unoccupied, so you are thinking about it more, try to remain positive.

Also try to eat little and often, even if you don't feel like it, as you need to keep your strength up.

Just remember anxiety can't hurt you and you will get through it.

Take care

Hi Worrywort, welcome, you will make lots of friends here and receive lots of support, and the biggest thing, you will realise you are not alone.
Its a shame your feeling bad again but at least you recognise it early, maybe you should go back and talk to your gp again, anyway hope you feel better soon.

If I help one person today it was worth getting up.

Hello worrywort,

Its great that medication worked for you last time as you now know that you do have that option again should you really need it .

If you don't want to go down that route you can manage yourself without meds. Do you know what caused it all to start last time that might still be present this time ?

You need to really look after yourself right now , the eating and nausea is very common as is the heartbeat which are both natural reactions from having excess adrenaline surging round you..

Hi Worrywort, I also am new & I am a worrywort too..
I also took a beta blocker, blood pressure med, anti-depressent and spent most of my day laying on the couch, I had to give up on the meds, but I am not telling anyone else to do that..
I hate going to bed, I know once I fall asleep I will be awakened by hot flashes, tummy upset & trembling or the sensation of water running thru my veins, I hate it I hate it!!!!!!!! I sleep some but wake up exhausted and still trembling and hot for awhile, I feel better for a little bit then I get the funny feeling when I am up and moving around of great heaviness in my arms and legs it doesn't hurt but it just drives me wild...So I panic....I've been to the dr. time and time again, and the ER for the high BP, rapid heart rate and all the goodies that go with it...Blood work, and such is ok...Please know you are not alone in this challenging time.....Please take care & much luck...Purrs.......

Heaven will not ever heaven be unless my cats are there to welcome me.
