Good day everyone

hope you are all feeling alright. i just have a few questions, i am not getting a panic attack per say, for the past few weeks i have been feeling on edge, there are strange feelings coming from my heart area, i did an EKG yesterday, and it came back normal, just had a skipped heart beat, but the doctor said thats normal because i have acid reflux and i was a liitel tense about the results, i came home and am not as anxious or worried about it, and the thing is i find myself grinding my teeth a lot, i get these shaking, trembling sensations in my body from time to time and theres a vibrating feeling in the area of my heart, but with that vibrating feeling i burp, my acid reflux has acted up so am wondering if thats whats responsible for this nasty feeling. has anyone ever felt like this or experience any of these symptoms? i am just feeling really anxious without getting a panic attack, thanks for the the response, and sorry for the long post, wishing everyone a panic free weekend.

Hello BL,

Yes, I no longer suffer attacks...but definitely have symptoms of anxiety at times....so it is entirely possible that this is what is making you feel the way you do.

Of course stomach issues such as you have can be co-morbid with anxiety...and make you feel unwell, so a mix of both issues is probably at play here.

Do your best to both lower your anxiety...and treat your GERD, so you can feel your best all around...

...and congrats on your good report from your doctor's visit and tests...great news!

Use your coping skills...and best wishes for feeling well!

hi
thanks SC am trying my best to not be anxious,my kids are with their granny for the weekend and am gonna have some alone time with my other half, just go for a drive and a movie, am hoping it relaxes me, my doctor also says my anxiety is high, he prescribed diazepam, but am afraid to take those because they are very addictive, so am looking at cartoons and reading up on anxiety to relax, and it has helped so far. once again thanks for the advice

bungielove..yes it is..I get the same exact symptoms!! I actually had that vibration in my chest symptom one day and got so freaked out I jumped in my car to go to the ER but worked myself up so much that I had a panic attack on the way and pulled over and called 911 because I thought I was having a serious cardiac issue. By the time they got there and I got in the ER, I was more calmed down but they hooked me up to the EKG and my heart was pumping normally. I get the shakes/tremble all the time..especially after an anxiety attack. I also have acid reflux and get the skipped beats too. Just more wonderful symptoms of anxiety!

Hi GMoon, ikr, anxiety has so many symptoms we cant even keep track, just when you think you have one under control another one comes along, its good to know am not the only one going through this, i have been going crazy thinking something more serious is wrong with me, thanks and here's to an anxiety free weekend.
