Today I was on a work call, didn't feel anxious, but I could vaguely feel my heart going fast. And when I checked it, it was 130. Then I got anxious and it went to 150. I managed to calm myself down pretty quickly, but I did end up taking a Xanax because I (ironically) had my first therapy session today and I didn't want to feel anxious during it.
I've since gone to the store, did some housework, feel really chill. But I've been sitting down now for 20 minutes, and my heart rate is 110. Not feeling anxious due to the Xanax, so I can't explain where it's coming from. I only just ate, my stomach has been upset all day, and if I do get heart palpitations from eating it's typically only about 20 minutes later. So now I'm worried those will get added on top and it'll go up to 140 for a while. I'm so over this heart thing. I wish I could just care less when it happens, but when I can't see an obvious reason for it I get concerned.
