I feel like my anxiety is really getting the better of me at the moment and could really do with chatting to someone who understands. Out of no where on New Year’s Eve I felt some heart palpitations I’m not sure if I’ve had these before I’ve certainly had an unsettled feeling and a fast heart rate but don’t think I’ve ever felt the huge beats like I did. It caught me by surprise because I was doing alright I was a little stressed over Christmas but thought I was handling it. The 2 weeks that followed I was very aware of my anxiety because of these palpitations but gradually the feeling went away then on Tuesday it happened again, the same thing 4 very hard beats but I managed to convince myself if it was anything serious it would happen more often then 2 weeks apart. Yesterday I felt very unsettled all day and my mind was full of what ifs. The plan was a quiet night a take away and film and early night. I fell asleep on the sofa pretty early but kept waking up as the film was noisy and on the 3rd time I felt 4 hard heart beats again and that was it I’ve been up most of the night and feel so unsettled again now waiting for it to happen again.
I’ve stuff going on with work and home but it’s just life there’s nothing I can do but deal with these things but feeling like this is making it more difficult. I guess what I’m asking is has anyone else had these strange palpitations in this way that have been down to anxiety or am I masking something more serious but thinking it’s “just anxiety” it’s like I’m running around in circles. Apart from the odd palpitations and feeling on edge I feel brilliant in my health.
I feel quite alone trying to deal with this
