Beyond tired

[mummyanxious]

I have been feeling lousy for the past week like I am going to collapse at any second because I feel so weak and tired. I'm worried its because of my slow pulse. It's really getting to me. When I mentioned it to the dr they just dismissed it without giving it any attention.
My pulse is slow and it feels weak whenever I take it, sometimes I struggle to feel it. What with that and the missed beats I feel like my heart is just going to stop at any second :(

:( HUGS.

Well I called the dr for some advice and they seemed completely unconcerned and just read through my anxiety notes on screen and said I was 'reading too much into it'. Fair play to them that they get fed up with us but extreme tiredness and slow heartbeat surely isn't good... :(

What medication are you taking?

None

I feel like I'm gasping for air and suffocating.

That is good then cos I know some medication can make you feel like this.

I think we are all suffering with the heat at the moment as well - I feel drained all the time

[mummyanxious]

Well that's it. If I was taking medication I could perhaps understand it but I'm not and its making me feel really anxious which you would imagine would heighten my pulse not slow it down. I feel like I'm dragging myself around and dizzy when I stand for too long. I'm convinced I'm going to drop off this planet soon :(

Anxiety is very very draining as well and can make you feel worn out most of the time

I'm so frightened I'm going to collapse. Or my heart will stop when I'm asleep.

It's like I've got to do dehydrate on breathing to keep breathing. I'm breathing really shallowly as well like I can take a full breath

Ahhh if you are not breathing correctly that won't help. You need to learn diaphragm breathing - it tells you about in on the website pages on the left
