Need help deciding what I should do

need help deciding what I should do. Last night (and on several other nights this month) I wake up and my heart is beating extremely fast. I'll be sweating and feel generally weird. I think I'm having either tachycardia or some other acute anxiety attack, but I'm so scared to go to a doctor. I have anxiety med but I'm not sure what's happening to me. I'm not taking anything else. I wonder if I'm just so overwhelmed with stress. I feel like I can't calm myself down anymore. Once I wake up from this I can't go back to sleep bc I can't stop worrying about my health. I know I've don't this to myself somehow but it's terrifying.

Hi

Sounds to me like it is anxiety related but remember I am not a doctor so would suggest you go and speak to yours about how you are currently feeling.

Lots can be done to help anxiety and you will find some self help guides in our resources thread on the main page so take a look. It sounds like you could be having health anxiety which can really take over your life if you let it so it's important to go and speak with someone about it.

Keep us posted
