Hello. I do have a fast heart rate when I get my episodes, but nothing like you do. I can relate though. It is always scary, each and every time.
There was a thread on here about how we, people with anxiety always go so deep into what we are afraid of, that it makes things so much worse.
Do you trust your doctors? Do you feel you are being heard?
We need to understand that the worry alone will make the symptoms more intense and worse. It is the REAL fear that keeps all of the symptoms alive.
In no way am I saying : JUST RELAX. I know how you feel, but you have to try somehow to trick your mind into a different state somehow. There are techniques, such as breathing exercises and such, that can really make a difference. Talking about it helps as well, so if you ever need to talk to someone, don't hesitate, write me a note. I will listen. My heart goes out to you. :)
Here. Read all this. Might help you. Might make you worry more.
