I’ve got this horrible nauseating feeling deep down between the back of my throat and my chest that seems to be pulling down into my stomach. I developed it on my drive back to work from the gym earlier, probably around 1:15p. I just took my heartrate. My normal resting heartrate is about 66, 67. It’s 103 right now. I feel sick and really, really nervous. Taking deep breaths doesn’t seem to be shaking it.
Am I having an anxiety attack?
I hope nothing’s wrong with my loved ones. That’s what it feels like. Anxiety and dread.
I hope you’re feeling okay! I often get this feeling, and have since I was younger. It may not be the same as what you’re experiencing, but I’ve had anxiety attacks since I was a kid. For me, they’re usually brought on when I think about uncertainty in my future or death in general. Most of the time, it passes, but it can be really gripping at times and I’ve definately sobbed many a time because of it. Again, I hope you’re feeling better!
I do feel completely better, thanks. You got my comment on your blog about my anxiety attacks about the future and death back when I was 21? I’m like, the future you. (You poor thing!)
