Suggest Remedy For Heart Palpitations From Anxiety

I am 26 and have always had high anxiety levels. When I was 14 I developed a stomach ulcer from my anxiety. As I have gotten older the anxiety causes heart palpitations, shaking, sweating, nausea, restlessness. My heat palpitates, it feels beats very hard and fast. Can my anxiety levels or heart palpitations be caused by a chemical imbalance? I'm on 2 medications to help with the anxiety but i can still feel my heart beating so hard against my chest. It's scary sometimes. I'm always afraid having a heart attack. What is your advice?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. You shall never have heart attacks. The reason behind your anxiety is your anxiety itself. Obsessive thinking about your health and death often brings on these palpitation symptoms. There fore learn to understand the body mechanism and learn to adjust with life.

In fact, at the age of 26, where do you get time to think about all these things? At this age, you are supposed to be passionate towards your career and making yourself a better life. You lack vision, and that is the reason. Medicines alone cannot make you normal.

For a start:
Step 1 - Practice Deep and full breathing whenever possible
Step 2 - Drink plenty of water and fruit juices.
Step 3 - A Tomato a day keeps anxiety at bay
Step 4 - Exercise regularly

Start these and follow strictly. After 7 days Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
