I don't know if it's anxiety

My anxiety symptoms have switched many times over the years.  And yes, I have had the heart flutters and skipped beat feelings.  I always go to the doctor when a new symptom arises just to clarify that it is not a life threatening disease.  Plus it eliminates any health fears which usually causes my anxiety to take control and worsen the symptoms.  Almost all people have skipped beats,  they just do not feel them.  Anyone prone to anxiety is supersensitive to any/all physical symptoms.  I now take a magnesium supplement which was prescribed by my cardiologist but can be bought OTC.  I rarely have skipped beats anymore.  And when I do, I just say "Not now anxiety, I don't have the time for you!"

Hey Chaska,
Welcome to healing well! You'll love it here. To answer your question, I have had your same problem. I had anxiety as a young child and it went on for about four years, that was nightly panic attacks. Yes nightly, and of course my parents didn't know about anxiety then so I never got any medication. It went away for a while and then hit me again in my sophomore year of highschool. I would halucinate and hear things and be paralized (literally) with fear. I got on Lexepro then and I started to get better. Then after the birth of my son I went through a month long period of panic attacks where I couldn't breathe or sleep or even sit still even though I was exausted. I got on Paxil and after a month on that I felt good again. Recently, at the begining of this year I started having the anxiety and panic attacks again. This time I get many symptoms. I cant breathe and my heart races and I have chest pain. I also get alot of other weird symptoms. So I would say that it is probably normal for your anxiety to change shapes and forms. Have you gotten any more medicine? It doesn't make you weak for being on medicine. It helps you learn how to handle anxiety and stress. I hope this answers your question!
