Suggest Treatment For Depression,OCD And Heart Palpitations
I have depression and ocd and heart palpitations with occasional fluttering. This increases my anxiety and I routinely self medicate by drinking. I fear I am going to drop over dead all of the time - unless I am drinking - and I also suffer from IBS. I have had EKGS which are normal, and a 30 heart monitor but I can not believe that heart skipping and fluttering is not going to kill me one of these days.
In your case, anxiety and negative thoughts are part of depression. In that case, you need proper dose of antidepressant and benzodiazepine. That would help to control depressive as well as anxiety symptoms. You can also try relaxation exercise that would keep you calm. In case, you need further help, you can ask.
