Message Subject Doctor or psychiatrist for anxiety? Heart pounding?
Poster Handle Anonymous Coward
Post Content
I don't know which one to go to since I hate going to anything like that. This heart pounding seems to be triggered by thoughts, I've had it a few years now. Over time I have more control over it but i suspect it's ruining my life as a wage slave! I used to care, I used to play the game, now it freaks me out and really makes one wonder if you're going crazy or going sane. Mostly I just want this feeling to happen when my life is actually in danger like it's supposed to, not when the phone rings or I hear a noise or read something.

Anyone had this problem and found something that helped? I've heard low doses of anti anxiety meds can help kick the brain out of this pattern. I also saw a doc on tv talking about curing anxiety with a weird video game type system where your brain is the controller. I think it's all about the pathways of thought and physical reactions, somewhere my fight or flight got mixed up.

Anyone know where to start?

Try to everything you can before getting on Xanax. It's so addictive it isn't even funny. It can ruin your life. I think the beta blocker idea is worth a try.

I'm in the same boat. I hate checking the mail because it sends me into a panic attack thinking there will be something bad, and I pretty much have a heart attack if someone knocks on my door. I hate it. It's debilitating, but I know that Xanax isn't the answer.
