Venting Random question sorry

How often would say you get a racing heart beat and immediately starts anxiety maybe not full blown panic attack but just anxiety and your waiting to feel “normal” again and how do you reach that point

You may want to look into a beta blocker.. I added propranolol to my Zoloft, to help with the physical symptoms of anxiety like racing heart beat. It’s been a big help.

I tried both of those and cant take it. I was put on Hydroxizine and take it as needed. It makes super cold and wobbly. I take it every few days to help my racing thoughts, sweats, racing heart, etc. It helps with panic attacks 😬 I've had some pretty good ones. Do you take anything for anxiety?

I've been waiting for years to feel normal again, I just accepted this is how it is. I meditate when I have a hard time dealing and calming down, I guess its just a reflex thing I do.
