anxiety/palpitations

[ryanleeevans]

I have had anxiety for a few weeks but its the 4th day of taking my citalopram and im feelimg better in myself although im to nervous to get on public transport i am feeling more in myself
Rather than feeling in a dream world like unreality but i can feel great for a few hours then as the day comes on i feel more ****** and sincr i been taking these tablets i have been have a lack of sleep i have been waking up at 6am everyday no matter what time i go bed i wake up at 6am its annoying me because i want to have a normal nights sleep not like 4 or 5 hours sleep i can have more sleep during the day i go sleep at like 2:30pm and wake at 9pm its weird but has anyone experienced when u wake up and your led down or trying to relax the more your heart rate increases ?

Sorry late in replying. I have been alot calmer in myself the past few days i think the tablets im on is helping me i get the odd heart flutter but if i take deep breathes it goes but i can see a difference within the past few days within the meds and its helping me control it i can go out and enjoy the fresh air rather than worry about things anxiety is horrible but if you fight it it will help theres no good feeling sorry for yourself just get up and get on with things im going to see my fiance today the first in a month instead of public transport i will be riding on my bike to have fresh air and excercise i will be taking my beta blockers with me as they can help calm me down but im going to try and avoid taking them and just carry on daily and keep taking my citalopram they work get them prescribed to you i caught my anxiety early stages i think if i carry on the way i am i will get over it ... this site has helped me understand the meanings of this problem and i am now in control of some of my symptoms . Thanks for messaging me and helping me out everyone made me feel better in myself

Yes. If u don't get help ir control ur anxiety symptoms. U can go insane. Not knowing what to do. Ur trying to find answers and u can't figure them out.  U end up depressed thinking ur nothing. Then u could become suicidal. . It can go on n on. Best way treating anxiety is help. Therapy help u understand anxiety. .

[ryanleeevans]

Thanks for your advice ... i have got beta blockers and ill be taking them when needed and ill be sticking to my citalopram for the time being as im not that panicy when im out or in my home i was really paranoid but now its calming down abit

You to try to relax the heart rising.  Is part of ur anxiety. . Anxiety make you palpation and u feel ur heart going fast u get chest pain. U feel numbness.  I can go on n on n on. With millions of things anxiety can trigger.  It can make u go insane.  No joke. But u need to relax wait 3 weeks or 4 to adjust to the med.. if u see it doesn't work for u talk to ur doc or psychiatrist n change ur meds to something else that will fit... relax ur fine nothing is wrong with you.. bless u ♡
