  1. Then follow the steps I laid out to investigate. Panic and stress can be so bad that it causes heart rythm disorders especially if you have been dealing with them for awhile. You may have atrial fibrillation on top of hppd or your stress is so bad it’s causing it. Like I said have a cardiologist do the things I laid out and if they find nothing. Focus on your mind. In a study there is evidence that extreme levels of anxiety, stress and even hypochondria can manifest as real problems. Long term if you don’t work on it, this may cause real health problems like hypertension, heart rythm issues, stroke. Your going to be okay just make sure your heart is okay with a cardiologist.
  2. If you have something going on with your heart then follow through with it and speak to cardiologist. There is no guarantee they will find something but if they don’t it may help you feel a little better and cope. Ask them to do a stress test with ekg, heart monitor for 2 weeks and an ultrasound on your heart. If all of those come back normal speak to a counselor about how anxiety can cause these things. Anxiety can be so bad that it can cause extreme rapid heart beat and irregular heart rythm. You have to accept they may not find something but really push that you want it looked into. If they find nothing focus on meditation and coping. It’s going to be okay. Im going through the same thing my friend. I still have palpitations but if they don’t find anything just ignore them and it will be okay. Try to cope when you are going to have a panic attack. I’ve been to the ER many times to with nothing to show for it except extreme blood pressure.
  3. Hey I have had similar experiences actually to the point that psychedelics made me a hypochondriac. You will convince yourself that you have things going on. Hppd can give you such horrible anxiety that they begin to manifest as real bodily symptoms. Most people don’t know this but anxiety can mimic heart attack symptoms, MS, stroke and twitching and cramping within the body. I’ve seen 2 cardiologists for heart palpitations and 3 heart monitors everything is normal. I’ve seen 2 neurologists and they said it’s very likely anxiety because I’ve had a full body workup on virtually everything. Anxiety can also make you feel as if you are vibrating. Also ask about migraines, as they can mimic neurological symptoms as well. The stress was so bad I’ve been on 3 blood pressure medications for over a year at 20 years old and I am finally starting to feel somewhat better. Your mind is extremely powerful and stress is your body trying to tell you to change something. You have to change. Your going to be okay. Meditate and breath. You got this.
  4. I hope you are right! I started lamotrigine with the combination of fluoxetine 40mg a day and I seem somewhat happier but my visuals are getting worse. I will continue to increase my dose until it’s not bearable. If this treatment doesn’t work I will be trying what you have recommended! Thanks!
