So I went to the doctor for what might just be anxiety but now he wants me to wear a holter monitor for my heart for 48 hours and on the 11th have a stress cardio test. I get intermittent palpitations which are probably anxiety even though I have no history of anxiety attacks none at all. I am kind of worried about it. I already had an EKG but that came back ok but he said that dont tell him anything if not happening during the test. So I was wondering if anyone has had anything similar they could tell me ah it is just anxety. thanks.
For me I get the feeling that everybody is staring at me and judging me so I have to be alone immediately.
Anxiety feels like if you didn’t do something you know you should have. Very uneasy feeling that you start to obese over.
A feeling like your going to die, similar to that.
I have had anxiety and panic attacks since I was a kid - Anxiety can take on physical symptoms - fast heartbeats, sweating, numbness, stomach pains, shakiness, breathing issues etc… and it can also be distressing mentally, fear of losing control, feeling panicky, feeling a sense of doom and fear, wanting to run away and feeling trapped etc…
I am sorry that you are getting anxious, maybe you have been under a lot of stress lately?
Stress can trigger anxiety and make anxiety worse

For me it’s a feeling of being in trouble… some doom is coming my way.
Also, tightening of the chest, upset stomach, it’s hard to breathe. That triggers the hyper sensitivity to light, noise, movement… crowds… then my depth perception gets worse.
My head speeds up… the thoughts on how to fix what’s wrong start to try and fly in, the wheel spins faster… I end up frozen because I just can’t sort out what to do next, what step to take. I will hyperventilate.
If I can’t get ahold of myself… or find a way to calm down… next stop is a full blown panic attack.
I’m sorry your having anxiety flair ups. They hurt a lot. I hope you find some calming exercises or something to get rid of that unwelcome pain.
Does, concerning anyone else out there, your anxiety attacks always occur under conditions were you can not escape the situation, such as being within a subway train that is underground and is located far between any stations thus there is no escape?
my one and only panic attack was debilitating. when it happened I froze while talking to a coworker and had “fight or flight”. I left the office and went home and called my mom and told her I couldn’t leave the house. I had to be rescued and couldn’t work anymore. and for a long time I couldn’t go anywhere except with my mom. (my mom lived in another town so this was a real problem) I learned to fight the anxiety by not caring if it happened. like “so what” I might have a panic attack. years later now I go everywhere by myself and am not afraid. I hope you get to feeling better.
