Anyone else with anxiety normally and is worse now pregnant? I had an anxiety attack last night and it was 156 for less than 5 mins then went back down to 126 then 108 and 100 and 96. Am I the only one with bad anxiety? What should I do?!? :( every time I feel something weird I get scared and it makes me have an attack now:/ what should I do please help.!

Omg I'm so relieved I'm not the only one and I always think the worst I always think I'm dying or something and it scares me

I do but I tried some natural things if you tell your doctor they can give you meds for it but I didn't wanna take any pills so I took some breathing classes and anytime I get scared I call the pregnancy hotline and ask them if everything is okay but if I get to scared I just go to the hospital I know you probably don't wanna go all the time bc you feel like they might get annoyed but believe me they'll understand I've been to the hospital a lot I'm 39 weeks and I've been to the hospital 3 times just this week alone and made idk how many phone calls

No your not the only one with bad anxiety i suffer from it as well  its very stressful and scary when it sneaks up on you like that. its quiet common for the heart to beat faster during pregnancy so when an anxiety attack comes on it will beat faster then usual. U need to calm urswlf down when u feel one coming on. My gp suggest i breath in n out of a brown paper bag for a few minutes. Or you can also go outside and get fresh air. Just try not to panick more when one comes on as it makes it worse.

I suffer with anxieties and found that yoga is really helping me to control my breathing and heart rate :) xx
