Very bad thoughts and anxiety! ):

Hi, this past week ive been having a weird thought and feeling that i am going to die soon. Its constantly running through my mind, and along with it..my chest is tight and has a weird feeling to it, my heart palpitates a lot and beats fast for no reason, i get really lightheaded and feel unfocused..it almost feels as if there is a little monster in me trying to get out../: Im really scared that I actually am going to die, especially with my heart palpitating and the weird feeling/: I dont know what to do, help! ):

It's just anxiety. That being said go to your Dr. for sure and get checked out. Let me know.

Id like to believe its just anxiety, but my brain thinks otherwise ): my doctor started me back on Zoloft 2 days ago.. so I am hoping that will help again. I went to the hospital a month ago from having an anxiety attack and i had an EKG and got checked out and im healthy. I just keep thinking there still is something wrong though, or im just going to drop dead ):

I have sooooo been there! A trick that finally worked for me (its going to sound weird but try it)
When your heart is beating fast do not think "stop beating so fast" or "why are you beating so fast" or "am I going to have a heart attack" it just going to make your heart beat fast.
Focus on the fast heart beat just relax and think of blood just pumping through your veins and just think its ok and once you accept your hearts beating fast it will slow down. Its just the adrenaline pumping through your body just try to enjoy it. I know that sounds crazy but that worked for me. Do not tell yourself to slow down because it will just do the opposite. think to yourself you like it and low and behold it will slow down on its own.

I used to have heart palpitates but it's less common now. I don't think it's anything to be worried about but just in case see a doctor. My brother has the same thing as well since he was a teenager and he'd have major panic attacks over it, very afraid he would die. He's been to the doctor but they never found out why he gets like this. I think it runs in the family. But then again, I'm not a doctor so don't take my word for it - just thought I'd add some reassuring words.

Music, that's the loop I got caught in... I kept thinking there was something wrong. It took me awhile to own my anxiety.  It's been a bit better since I know I have anxiety / OCD. Are you in therapy?
