I can watch those its the o ones I hate to watch when withdrawin.... I dealt with dts from some binges on alcohol I wnet on and I can't tolerate any alcohol at all in my body anymore it gets me sick as soon as I drink and then I have to wake up with the shakes looking for more soI can just stay abstinent from that. Its like alcohol wont allow me to drink that long before my body starts to reject it very fast. Strange huh??
I've been taking panic attacks for the last week or so and went to the doctor telling her I had been having bad heart palpitations and pains in my chest and she is referring me to a heart palpitation specialist but she gave me propranolol because she thinks it may be anxiety, but I'm lying in my bed just watching TV and my heart rate is 51 - 60 roughly bpm, is this too low should I be worried I'm such a panicked and I would just like someone to try and put my mind at rest :(???
Hi my name is Jodi. I have been having heart flutters or pounding. It has been 6 days now and it is not all nostop but it is everyday. When I get up and move around it stops and when I sit down it starts again but some days I don't have it at all. I do have panic attacks some bad, some not, but I get panic when the Dr. wants to change my meds and then I went for an e.k.g. and was panicing . I'm so scared that I need sugery on my heart, thats all I can think about.
Get on with your life :) Your heart is fine.
First, lots of weird things happen in the moment between being awake and asleep. Your body and some parts of the brain "shut down" before the rest, and during this time, you may feel paralyzed or actually hallucinate, without having psychosis or any other psychiatric disorder. Stress is making this more noticeable, because your brain don't want you to lose control and go to sleep (you have some sort of hyperawareness).
t remember something I saw on TV or read, I begin to go into a PANIC attack. I have to write things down in a tablet that I think are of interest to me later. If I later can't remember what it was that I wanted to tell my spouse, I would have a Panic attack unless I wrote it down. The PANIC attacks do go away after 5-10mins. but they are very intense at the time. My brain can't think of anything but what it was I wanted to remember. The more I try to remember, the worse it gets.
I am a 48 year old white male, and I have already had a total of 5 heart attacks (all within the last 5 tears). At first my doctoer thought it was due to my low HDL, as it has been lower that 28 for the last 5 years. But after my last attack, about 3 months ago, the doctors are now thinking that my body is trying to reject the 3 stents the have pkaced in me. This last attack was pretty serious, and we are planning to have a defibri;ator implanted later this month.
Keep in mind,however, that the tv portrayal of a heart attack happens in less than 10% of those that have one. Look out if you experience nausea, cold sweats, pain in jaw, pain that radaiates into the back or down one or both arms along with chest pressure.....it can also feel like indigestion or gas.....normally these symptoms don't go away with rest and last longer than 5-10 minutes.
Then my friend offered me a shot of cheap vodka and I drank it. I felt weird 5 minutes afterwards. Something funny came on the TV and I laughed which triggered a massive shock through my body. All of a sudden my heart started racing extremely fast, hands and palms were sweaty, my breathing was labored, my chest hurt, chest had pressure, and I started panicing. All of a sudden my heart kept slowing down, then speeding back up( and repeat).
The strangest thing about my heart attacks is that the pain was not what you see on TV. I put off going to the ER for 3 days with the first heart attack I had. I just wasn't feeling that bad. I wasn't feeling good and thought something was wrong, but a heart attack didn't register with me. It's a good idea to pay attention to the symptoms you have no matter how mild they might be.
I have started having heart irregular palpitations shortly after I fall asleep at night. About 3 months ago I lied down and was watching TV when my heart felt like it was going to stop beating. I could feel it pound and expand in my chest almost like a huge muscle spasm. It scared me and I was almost afraid to fall asleep. After I lied there a few minutes I fell asleep only to wake up to a racing heart.
I get these attacks randomly. Sometimes it's after I eat and sometimes it's not. i get really warm, my heart races, I hypervenlate, I have to go to the bathroom (it's like everything goes through my system), I feel like I'm going to puke, I shake uncontrollably, my hands are freezing but I'm sweating. I have gone to get this checked out many times but they just keep telling me I'm anxious.i just don't believe that I am anxious watching TV or eating a bowl of fruit.
They were very vivid and real feeling to the point where I was afraid to sleep at night and if I did all the lights were on including the tv. I would be trapped in these nightmares and unable to wake up, along with experiencing sleep paralysis. I would know in my sleep when I was about to have one because I would be having a normal dream and then my chest would tighten and I would get an awful feeling and try to wake myself up.
It does not sound like depersonalization it sound just like your having an anxiety attack but it could be that. You may want to talk to your doctor about these feelings. You should do some more research on it first.
I recently had been having panic attacks every night since a surgery I had, and the xanax wasn't working as well for them, so the doctor put me on Atenolol to keep my heart from racing, and said after a while the panic attacks would stop and I could go off it. I've never had to be on anything for them constantly, so I didn't want to now either. Now each night when I would normally get a panic attack I feel a heavy feeling in my chest.
I know exactly how you feel! I'm glad you found this place too, I just found it today! I have panic attacks & ended up in the ER twice within 3 days 5 years ago. Finally the ER nurse identified that I was having panic attacks & called my doc herself to get me Xanax because the medication they prescribed me the day before would take atleast 1-2 weeks to work!
It sounds more like asthma or allergies or a sleep disorder such as apnea. Panic attacks come from the fear of something, like getting on an airplane or going into an enclosed space. Once you start getting them, then you can get one by experiencing symptoms that feel like those you had when you had the first panic attacks, such as feeling dizzy or disoriented from drinking alcohol.
I have palpitations and fatigue and dizziness when standing up, panic attacks.....etc. Recently I have had episodes of rapid heartbeat with skipped beats right after stopping activity. Is this something that is normal with MVP/MVPS? I have done holters and event monitors had two echo in the last year, I had a stress test about 3 years ago and am scared to death to do another one. I am afraid to move almost because I am afraid of dying.
