I was triggered today by being in a doctors office. I got really bad heartburn out of nowhere and it made me feel like something is wrong with my heart. I have never felt heartburn during anxiety before. Has this happened to anyone else? It did happen once my anxiety was triggered, so it seems it was that.
It literally felt like my whole throat and chest was burning
Yes heartburn has been a symptom of my anxiety for 16 years. And it definitely intensifies if I’m thinking and obsessing over it. I’m sorry you feel this too. I am starting ERP therapy through NOCD in less than 2 weeks and cannot wait to learn to tolerate/ not obsess over my physical Symptoms. Good luck to you
Yes I also get this. My health anxiety always flares up when I go to the doctor. Major trigger for me and the worst one.
i’m currently experiencing a panicky anxiety attack and i don’t know why. i’ve been on edge all day because of being scared to get sick, but right now, i know i’m not going to get sick but i’m just really panicked and cannot calm down. i’m currently listening to music that helps relax me with an icepack on my neck to help, but not much is happening. my sister and mom keep coming into my room and it’s only making it worse but i don’t know why. i just don’t want to talk or be around anyone right now. these kinds of episodes are worse than any other because i don’t know why i’m so scared. it just feels like it’s never going to go away.

Hi everyone. I take hydroxyzine 50 mg every night for anxiety for about five months. I’ve been experiencing at least one heart palpitation a day so of course I went down my googling spiral and saw people say it gave them cardiac arrest? I’m only 19 but I’m so so scared. Please someone help me.
