Every night, I feel sick, I feel dizzy,weak, shaky, my head hurts, chest pains, can't breath, heavy fast heart beat, etc. Every night I get so worked up thinking um having a heart track or a stroke or something,and I'm terrified I won't wake up dead.I KNOW if it was anything more than anxiety, I would be too ill to worry and in lots of pain probably unconscious etc, but still, I can't get rid if the worry. Above have any advice how to stop worrying that panic attacks are actually heart attacks because until I can stop that worry I can't stop the initial anxiety that caused the attack. Also, its terrifying thinking you will be dead ct morning but I'm sure lots of you get this too so you know what its like.

I'm having an anxiety attack right now. My heart is racing in my chest and if is hard time breathe right. It's so hard to listen to my rationale mind when I'm like this. I try to partake in mindfulness meditation. It doesn't always help, but usually improves things a bit. As my mind calms my body begins to calm and as I worry it becomes worse. I try to tell myself it it was a 'real' heart condition it wouldn't change so drastically with my mood.
