Hello! I am here to hopefully get some information on how you overcame anxiety or how I can help my boyfriend and if this really is anxiety based on your experiences.
He is 23 years old and has many different symptoms every single day. He may have a good day every once in awhile but is never free from all symptoms. The symptoms that he has are: chest pain, dizziness, lightheadedness, tingling in hands and head at times, trouble breathing,a throat closing feeling, a dreamy/spacey feeling. He is also always so tired no matter how much he sleeps. He has a fast heart rate and high blood pressure at times but is on beta blockers that only seem to be working sometimes. His heart rate used to be much higher than it is but I feel like it shouldn't be this high with beta blockers even while anxious. Also, anytime he moves his heart rate rises significantly, although it does fall back down after some time. He checks his blood pressure and heart rate several times a day and thinks that this is something way worse than anxiety because he feels like he is dying every single day. He takes klonopin, .5 mg in the morning and .75mg at night. He had to quit his job and he can rarely leave the house because of how bad this has gotten. Even if he goes outside for a minute his heart rate rises and he feels like he is dying. He has been to his GP who did bloodwork which came back normal. Also he has been to the cardiologist and has had normal EKGs but diagnosed with inappropriate sinus tachycardia. He had a stress test done about 3 years ago.
He isn't feeling like himself at all and he feels so stuck and he wants answers and I do too. I want him to have his life back and to be able to do anything he wants and to feel like himself again. Is this anxiety? Does anyone else feel like they are dying all day everyday along with these symptoms that can be so severe at times? Please tell me any ways you have overcame your anxiety or ways that I can help him.
