Is it Anxiety

[soccermama]

This is my first time to post.  I have been feeling what I think is Anxiety, all though my over active Worry bug goes into overdrive and I think I am having heart problems.  There are times for no real reason I become very aware of my heart beating and immediatly start counting pulse rate every 10 min.  At night on occassion My heart rate speeds up and I am afraid to go to sleep.  Of course my worry makes the beat faster.  Makes me want to scream.  I worry about everything and nothing I can control. Its crazy.  There are times when I am falling asleep and I wake up suddenly and my heart feels like it is in a race but I feel my pulse and it feels normal.  Has anyone felt like this at all.  Could it be Anxiety?  I do have a Dr. appointment tomorrow.

MrGreen is right...Dr is the best thing at present.  Too many other things that need to be ruled out before you can put a label on it.  Get a CBC, get an ECKO, etc.etc..
Hope all goes well -

The appointment to see your doctor is the best thing you can have right now. It would be far too easy for anybody to answer ' yes ' and say it is anxiety. It meets some of the most common symptoms of anxiety. But we are not doctors. The only person who can really answer that question is your own doctor. But sharing it here on the forum is good step forward. We are always here to listen and offer advice when / were we can. Just seriously hope it is not any major type of aniety. But even if it is it can be dealt with. Never for one moment think it can't be dealt with. There is loads of help out there. From medication to counciling. Counciling may be the only thing you need come the end of the day. Just keep us posted on what your doctor says and I wish you all the best with the visit.
