Anxiety and palpitations

So while having palpitations or anxiety, does the blood pressure increase? Has anyone tried measuring at that point of time?
 
been a victim of anxiety causing palpitations for nearly 25 years now, i am 35. Always external factors, never anything of my own. Doesn't help when you cannot sleep either. Doctors will prescribe either clonazepam, amitriptyline or Propranolol (if you have high pulse), all BS, of course. Keeping your mind as calm as possible by the means of shites like yoga/mediation should be the way. But never tried myself. Heart palpates too much to even contemplate them lol

Regular smart-watches cannot directly measure blood pressure. Those smart-watches which can measure BP have an inflatable cuff in it (which are very rare). Every other smart-watch that claims to measure BP is just doing false advertisement.

In these times, never trust a smartwatch for health-related measurements...Still they have a long way to go.

Usually if we go to a doctor (allopathy) for these palpitations/bp they prescribe medicine and that has to be continued forever. But it is usually said that once u get used to such medicine we have to keep increasing dosage over the years.

Meanwhile, ayurvedic seems to have good results but those people give medicine which doesn’t have any label or brand names and always have to shell out money for whatever they give and blindly take it.

Has any of you tried other natural things that we can try to reduce these problems? I’ve read Garlic is one such thing. Have to try.

Feeling always hungry - depends on various issues. Sometimes it's not only stress but eating more carbs can also make you feel more hungry. Check what you eat most and what makes you "not hungry" or "hungry".
 
Bumping this old thread instead of creating a new.
Since a very long time I'm suffering from unnecessary worry and anxiety issues which directly affects my sleep as I keep thinking of various outcomes of events which are yet to take place.
I visited a few doctors and instead of prescribing medicines they simply took it lightly and asked me to focus on other things and bla bla!
But if anyone could suggest me a remedy or best some medicine to begin with it will be great.

I tried yoga and breathing exercises etc but it didn't helped.

I know that everyone is not the same and what works for me might not work for you but when i get these anxiety issues(heart beats faster and i feel restless) i often turn to music,i play it loudly and close my eyes and just focus on nothing but the song ..also adding that that this doesn’t always work for me either but it does more often than not

Do you engage in regular exercise? If not, would suggest joining a gym or picking some other form of rigorous exercise. Anxiety is often made worse by lack of physical movement and pushing yourself physically helps improve mental health and resilience/tolerance to stress.
 
Have you checked health parameters including blood pressure, blood sugar, heart, kidney, thyroid, vitamin d, b, etc. Testosterone levels too.
Do you have a history of similar / any other issues, is your job or life situation stressful due to real world reasons ?

You will first need to identify what is triggering your stress and anxiety. It could be related to a project deadline or a relationship with you spouse or your financial condition.

Then you need to work on how to stop the trigger. Again if it is as straightforward as procrastination, with no other factors causing it but you, then it might be easy to remedy. Relationships and financial conditions require a lot of hard work.

A psychiatrist probes you so that you can dig, identify, accept what is happening around you. If we do not let out our deepest feelings then nobody would be able to help you. But its ok to not share your feelings with anyone as long as you are honest with yourself and try to see things from all/everyone's perspective. You will then be able to identify the trigger and work out a plan yourself.

What I would say as a generic advice is, plan 15 minutes of moderated paced running everyday if you can. It will boost your mental condition and also help you think clearly. Do it for 2-3 weeks and notice the difference. During that time also look within to find your trigger. Then you can post your specific query and others can recommend something.

Often it is as simple as this. Its just hard to let go. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F.
