I have anxiety due to my job. When it’s really bad (in the morning before I go usually), I feel like I can barely breathe and I get nauseous and can’t eat. Sometimes it affects my sleep.

The thing I REALLY can’t stand is the general symptom I have constantly throughout the week, which is heart palpitations. It is EXHAUSTING to feel my heart beat this hard all the time. I started anxiety meds this week and one day I didn’t have palpitations (may have been a coincidence as meds aren’t supposed to kick in for a few weeks) and it was so freeing. It felt like I was in control of my body again. But the palpitations came back and I truly wish I could stop them, especially because the sensation seems to make me more anxious.
