Im scared, about my heart.

Sometimes when i am very anxious, when i get up, my heart beats hard and slow and my chest starts to hurt.... does this ever happen to anybody? Ive had my heart checked and nothing is wrong with it....is this just from my anxiety? I am freaking out :(

Once you have had a doctor confirm you heart is fine, you are probably dealing with anxiety. My heart sometimes beats fast, but everyone's symptoms vary.

Try taking deep breaths. Tell yourself it will pass soon. Do you take any meds for anxiety? Some meds can calm you down quickly too.

I hope you start to feel better soon.

My heart beats fast. I have been given Beta-Blockers. They slow it down completely as it doesn't speed up when i have an anxiety attack..

This was happening to me, and I had to sit down with a very detailed journal to help figure out what was happening in my normal routine to set it off balance.
Try to set a morning routine that works to give you time to get into the morning, and set your night routine to a more calming setting as you turn out the lights.
Hope this helps.

This happens to me all the time too. Your heart is fine, your anxiety makes you feel like it isn't.
