Your heart chart is too technical for me and you didn't use sentences so hard to follow. Do you have a diagnosed heart problem?

The slow rate is nothing to be concerned about? The anxiety is getting the better of you if you keep going to the ER for the same problem, heart checks. Additionally, 2 panic attacks a day is murder so no wonder you wake up with heart fears.
Have you tried counselling or a psychiatrist, because the right person in a one on one session might be able to point you in a direction that resolves this. It is beyond this board to deal with that kind of thing, but I don't mean to tell you not to write as often as you want for advice. I just don't think you will get advice that will deal with the chronic panic here, other than advising you to see professional help.

I forgot to ask, are you on meds to deal with either anxiety or depression, as they feed off each other?
