Anxiety and heart palpitations

Yeah my doctor gave me celaxa and I try to exercise every day with deep breathing even before they start

My 18 year old son is going through this right now. He gets chest pain, heart palpitations, he can feel his heart beat and feels its beating hard. He had a normal but slightly abnormal ekg yesterday. What that means is because of his age, his body type is very slender , not any fat between the heart and the chest he had a strong heartbeat. The dr is one of the best cardiologists here. He said he sees this all the time in boys my sons age but to be sure he has ordered an ultra sound of my sons heart. Then we will know for sure whether it's the panic and anxiety or if there really is a heart issue. I'm happy your ekg was normal 😁

I have had panic and anxiety attacks for 25 years. Your body goes into a fight or flight mode and your internal alarm system goes off. It's like if you were walking down a path in the forest and you see a bear. My ekg
Is always normal. I have some level of anxiety every day. Its always there and never completely goes away. I've been
Told by many doctors I just cant completley relax. I'm in some sort of the flight or fight mode all the time. I've learned to deal with it by slow deep breaths in through the
Nose and out through the mouth over and over. Your body
Cannot be panicked and calm at the same time. So I do the deep breathing over and over to get to a calmer place. Lavender baths help. Lavandar or chamomile tea. Calming sounds like of the waves of the ocean or the rain etc..you can find these on YouTube. I do Other things to but my message here is very long already. But the biggest thing that is helped me is the the
Anxiety and phobia workbook by edward J. Bourne. Amazing book. You can find it on thriftbooks.com for $4.50 versus $18.00 or higher other places dr bourne has
Other excellent books to. Hope I helped someone. 😁

@anitamarie That is all good information thanks I would like to suggest one other thing I do for what ever problem you have but with mind issues . I have anxiety attacks more years ago then now but I did get overwhelmed a little while ago and emailing one of our mentoers helped just to talk and get it down on paper or internet as it was but writing things down to get the behavior out tell those ugly beasties to go jump in the lake . I also like tapping do you do this? Tappingsolutions .com has a good explanation there . I'm going to look for that book I buy from thriftbooks and yea the prices are great. thankd
