Voting Question: Worried about my Heart!?
I have Panic Disorder. My panic ATTACKS usually start like this. Iam usually sitting calmy in a lecture, falling into a sleep, when i notice my heart rate is unusually slow. My resting heart rate as I measured is about 55 or 60. I excersise 7 days a week, cardio, high impact aerobics. So anyway, I notice this slow heart beat and it freaks me out! Thinking my pace maker isnt working and My heart will stop beating now and Ill suffocate!! Thats when I force the adrenaline rush to come and speed up my heart rate, I begin to feel nauseous, panicky and derealization of my surroundings kick in! Then the wave of heat comes over and the panic attack occurs with my heart beating out of my body!.. My ECG shows that I have a minor respiratory arythmia, but it is insignificant. I had an ECG had many times and all was well. My blood level is great, so are all my hormones, and a high DHEA. So, is the ’slow heartbeat fear’ just my imagination? Im going to get heart ultrasound to see if maybe I have a mitral valve prolapse which is causing my attacks.
Now Im trying to sleep but I cant because i smoked a few cigs and my anxiety heightened, I lay down on my bed falling alseep and as soon as i drift away I get a wave of anxiety about my heart and feeling dizzy while I sleep and i wake up. I want to sleep, im tired but i cant due to waves of anxiety waking me up, and I see closed eye hallucinations and my imagination now (when i close my eyes) is scarily vivid, i see faces of real ppl right before my eyes. WHATS WRONG WITH ME?
