Hi!! So I just wanted to vent a bit as my anxiety has gotten so bad the past few months and it has been increasingly difficult to deal with. I went to the hospital in August and found out I was dealing with some thyroid issues that were causing me to have a rapid heartrate. I stayed in the hospital for one night and I was sent home the next morning after they prescribed some medicine for my thyroid and heartrate. I went home and didn't get any sleep the next day. After this I became so worried that I developed an obsession with checking my heartrate. I would check every 5 minutes to see if it was okay and I even would sometimes wear a pulse oximeter when I was going to sleep just to give me some peace of mind because I had never dealt with any of this before. The medicine has helped and my thyroid tests finally came back normal last week for the first time since this all started but my anxiety is still extremely high and I'm back to constantly checking my heartrate and worrying about it. Sometimes it's around 70-80 but there are other times where it gets around 90-110 and it is usually around 110-130 when I get out of bed and move around even just going from my bed to the kitchen. I also feel a lot of palpitations and sometimes I will be laying down when i start to feel a forceful heartbeat and it increases to 110-120. I know the obsession with checking it probably doesn't help but I'm still so nervous and anytime it's close to 100 while I'm resting I immediately begin to panic and freak out so the past few months have been really difficult for me and it's very hard to calm down. I have an appointment with my doctor again on Monday so I'm hoping they can help me get things calmed down and give me some peace of mind though.
