I just had my heart skip so I got on the internet to try and clam my nerves. I started having panic attachs in 2003 after my father died and the birth of my 2nd child, I had some problems after he was born that put me in the hospital for 2 weeks after he was born.
My first attack happen in the middle of the night. Never since then, I can feel my heart skip a beat and I starts my anxiety going. I can not count the number of times I check my heart beat a day. I have had every test run and nothing. I have always been in good shape I love to run so I have a very low resting heart rate but sometimes is beats so low when I go to check it, it makes me have a panic attack.
I am getting better when it happens I try and talk myself out of it. I don't dare go to sleep without Xanx that is where I am the scarest.
I have good months if there is not alot of stress but right now since Christmas it has been really hard. In the end they never completely go away.
