![]() I have severe anxiety of throw up, have since I was 2. I can relate to you, but in a different way. And i also experience irregular beats of my heart and you said something like you feel like your heart is being squeezed for a few seconds then it beats really, really hard. Hello, I just read your posts and i understand a lot of whats going on. Sometimes, I get the soft ones, and I'm like, "That wasn't so bad." and then out of nowhere, BAM! The strong ones hit. And it's even worse because the intensity is never constant. Once I'm startled, it takes quite a bit of time for me to calm back down again, and I become reluctant to do so if I'm just gonna be startled again. I feel like, if I'm not on high guard all the time, then they're gonna be worse at scaring me. You're walking and walking and it doesn't happen for a while, so you start to relax and continue your walk, and then BAM! Someone else jumps out from around another corner and it startles you again because you weren't expecting it. Yeah, you could get used to that, but not if it keeps happening when you're not expecting it. It's like someone walking along, and then out of nowhere, someone jumps out from around the corner. They're just so sudden, and strong, that when I relax, it catches me by surprise, when I least expect it. It's not that I believe they're going to hurt me. ![]() You're life is passing you by all because you don't want to take the medication.if you get a headache, do you not take something for it? If you don't get help, you can't get better, and life is too short and worthwhile to not do whatever it takes to make the best of it. Anxiety is no different! You have choices here, and one is to take the medication that will help you with these, maybe even make them go away! Anxiety IS A MEDICAL CAUSE.accept this. If your cardiologist said this was your heart and gave you medication, you wouldn't think twice about taking it. Plus, you need to decide whether you want to take medication or live like this for the rest of your life! None of us prefer to take the medication, but like any other medical condition, we need it to control our symptoms. You need to now address this with a therapist to teach you coping and relaxation skills, it does help. We have to seek therapy and learn how to overcome them. I used panic attacks as an example of what people who do have them endure. I think you need to get into therapy to determine where all this stems from. Help me, please!! Tell me how I can conquer these symptoms. I'm petrified that I'll be stuck like this forever, and will have to rely in medication to "cope" with it. I didn't have any of these symptoms before I got anxiety, so how do I make them go away? I'm seeing a therapist, but it seems like it's not quite helping yet with the symptoms. Been tested, no heart problems, and everything is normal. It just feels like my heart is being squeezed for like 3 seconds, then a strong beat afterwards. The anxiety would be so much more manageable if I didn't have them. I'm apprehensive about taking it, although I was given a 0.5mg dose of regular Xanax by the ER, and didn't find myself craving it. ![]() The doctor put me on a 0.5mg dose, and it's extended release. Generic Alphrazolam seemed to help them somewhat, but I don't want to be dependent on a benzo to stay calm, because they're highly addictive. They make me toss and turn and prevent me from relaxing, because that's when I get them the most. The worst symptom of this anxiety are these ectopic beats/palpitations/pvcs which drive my off the deep end. After having anxiety for three months, I'm now learning, that my risk for a heart attack or cardiac event is EXTREMELY low. I got health anxiety close to 3 months ago, due to the death of a friend, and started having hypochondriac-like obsessions because of my slight risk factor of dying of a heart attack like she did.
