I'm done letting things bother me, last night was the scariest thing I had to be calm through the whole thing. I am sick with a fever, I have to take baclopen for my muscles for my neuro condition and ambien for sleep, but what happened was my body even with the ambien wouldn't sleep I was so depressed and anxious from it building up so much my body didn't relax but after taking the ambien my sleep aid. I literally was afraid of having a heart attack. My heart rate and I'm really healthy it went way higher and was pumping blood at a rate it never did before and I'm just lying down doing nothing but breathing slowly and letting the anxiety roll out. I knew if I stood up and walked, I definitely would of had one and collapsed. It was inevitable if I couldn't do what I did, and it scared me because I never knew what one would feel, because I take care of my body with exercise and moving around and not even overweight getting back to being underweight. It scared me, because I was afraid I was going to die in that bed with my anxiety came from being so depressed I hid it and suppressed it the first time because I had no choice from it being relapsed earlier this week this girl I really cared bout broke my heart and I didn't want to date her who was still leading me on. Also with years of suppressed emotions my chest has a constant pain of anxiety, and after I took the ambien it was intolerable also I was hallucinating close to what I was when I was little my head got dizzy after taking the pill and my body was so anxious and I tried everything I was fine before I took it, but then after I was sure I'm not going to make it. I got the fevers and shakes and my heart rate was never that high ever and I was so scared and tried to stay calm so it doesn't trigger a heart attack which I read it does trigger one. I don't know whether to pick insomnia or heart attack pill? because both are just as scary and I don't want to die young I just turned 20 a couple months ago

You got much anxiety in you. Anxiety is what you have. Getting a heart attack? not likely. Therapy will help with the Anxiety.
Thanks for this!

A lot of people mistake anxiety for heart attacks. You should make a list of things that help you calm down and keep it at a place that you can easily access when you get panicky. It doesn't sound like a physical health problem because of your young age, weight, health, etc. so it really is unlikely to be a heart attack. But if that's something that really scares you, it might be in your interest to focus on your general health more and creating an medium balance of sleeping, eating, exercising. Also address your mental health because coping mechanisms sound very necessary right now.
