Im so scared I have a heart problem or something, I have had ekgs and bloodwork and and echo a couple years ago but I am so scared!! I feel like I have problems breathing sometimes, I am most of the time aware of my heartbeating, tired alot and get the weak spells. I was at the doctor last weak and they did an ekg and it said sinus tachycardia, but I was practically in panic mode and my pulse was high so thats why. Im just so feaking scared and I hate living this way!!! Is it actually possible that all this is anxiety related! I even feel like I dont breathe right or something, I feel really stiff and not breathe consistantly and then I feel like I have to take a deep breath. I am sooooo scared! I keep looking up symptoms about weak, shaky spells and it keeps coming up with heart related issues. I am only 24 so I would hope this wouldnt be the cause!! I feel like crying, I am so scared! Someone please help!!!!!!!!!!

i have tachycardia as well. its nothing to be upset about because its nothing bad. all it means is you have a fast heart rate. dont be scared you know you can breathe fine. as far as you being weak its beacuse your working yourself up and then that always makes me weak and tired. try working out for a little bit.

good luck and god bless

hello angela i have gone trought what you are going through , I am not a veteran yet I just started the program but i can relate . I would have panic attacks thinking i was going to have a heart attack , i will tell myself i cant breath and all of the sudden i felt like i really couldnt breath !! its all ir ur head , the mind is very powerfull . Just remember you are the only one causing all of it . let me ask you do you exercise ? if so does your heart hurt when exercising ?

Hi! thanks for responding!!! 1st off I am 5 months pregnant. No I dont really work out although I know that I should, I think that I am afraid too because my heart seems to beat fast already and it makes me nervous to do anymore. I am going to buy a pregnancy related workout dvd start doing it everyday. Also, I never have chest pain or anything, but it seems that I am always aware of my heartbeating or something, not constantly but sometimes I am just aware of it beating. Maybe it is all in my head, but when I read about symptoms of heart related stuff it freaks me out, and I start thinking, "what if". It also seems like my heart is racing with not very much exertion like carrying my 3 year old up the stairs or something like that. I understan that some of it may be pregnancy related but it still makes me nervous. Is it possible to have panic attack symptoms throughout the day without having a full blown attack??? I have had probably 5 actual full blow freak out attacks in my life but I seem to always have the symptoms on a daily basis, it seems like my mind is skimming my body Constantly about things going on inside. I hate it, know I keep having thought what if Im not strong enough to have this baby even though I had a perfect pregnancy with my 3 year old and not 1 fear, for some reason I have so many fears with this one.!!!

Hi,

I have two suggestions : )
Take a daily iron supplement, it helped me TREMENDOUSLY when I was pregnant, it helps transport oxygen!!! It will also help with energy and feeling weak or lightheaded. My doctor had me taking a teaspoon of black strap molasses everyday too. I felt like a new person after getting my iron levels up!

Secondly, walk daily. It will keep you strong and healthy on so many levels and it will help you with your delivery. It will also help to metabolize the stress hormones in your body!

Let us know how things go : )
