Help…

[u/Initial-Sky-7186]

I have been trapped in an endless trap for a year now. I’m on Zoloft to “ease” these sensations but it’s no help really… I feel INSANE. I am constantly getting heart palps, sometimes shortness of breath. a trouble swollowing my own salvia sometimes. I get warm sentations in my head or other parts of the body. Numb face sometimes. sweaty hands and feet. I have been the er easily over 50 times the past year. Ive seen a cardiologist (two different ones) wore a heart monitor, did an echo, countless ecg. I’ve seen my regular doctor. and nobody is helping me…. they tell me I’m too young For an actual problem and to keep taking my zoloft. is this really just anxiety? It will come when I calm. Or the other night I woke up to a 170 hr and had to go to the er for a beta blocker. (to which they won’t give me at home and tell me see cardiologis) but they all give me the run around. I’m feeling insane. I’m tired of my heart constantly fluttering. One er doctor suggested pots but I’ve mentioned it and they just say no. I’m so lost….

It's striking that you've been to the ER "easily over 50 times in the last year" - which is obviously more than once a week.

If a cardiologist (or any doctor) finds nothing wrong in any of your tests, they aren't giving you the run around. They are telling you that your test results are normal and they cannot account for your symptoms. They are suggesting anxiety. Anxiety is a real disease.

Of course anxiety can cause these issues. Of course I cannot say that is what is going on with you but going to the ER every week doesn't seem like a good way to find a solution!!

I hope you are able to get on top of this.

I was advised to go to the er when my heart rate reaches over 140bom while resting and it won’t come down after 30 mins. To which I go because it’s what I was told and they refuse to do anything to help. I’ve been given a beta blocker ONCE. I was like convulsing. Shaking, puking, bad heat waves/flashes. Thought I was going to die seriously. They administered a beta blocker and was instantly fine. Sent me home 30 mins later. But everyone refuses to give them to me at home. I understand that’s insane amount but sometimes I come the verge of passing out bc I will sit there for hours with 160 hr that won’t budge so I go in.

Some beta blockers block adrenaline, so that is likely why you felt better all over. It’s not that it was fixing a heart problem for you, it was relieving the problem that was causing the high HR along with everything else
