so its summer mowing grass season yardwork season going out for walks bike rides you know the things we like to do when its nice and warm just to get out of the house from being inside all winter, but this year is different for me i usually have bad anxiety in the winter months and i did over this past winter and usually i calm down once the weather gets nice, but this year i havent calmed down when im mowing the lawn i get scared im just going to fall of a heat stroke or heart attack. when im bike riding i feel as im going to pass out or not make it home. or just taking the dog for a walk im always thinking the worst. the last time i told my doctor about my heart racing he didnt seem concerned. he listened didnt hear any signs of anything out of the norm. and weight is not an issue as im a lightweight he calls me. I don't know whats wrong i used to be an active person not a person that sits in the house all summer. i dont go to google for health advice as i found that to be a bad thing. my doctor tells me im fine but i just cant stop thinking im not
 
I just read your post and it was like reading something I would've typed myself. I've gained so much weight over the past 6 months because I stopped exercising since i've been having anxiety attacks because i'm afraid i'm going to have a heart attack or stroke or something. Just tried mowing the grass last week and it was 87 degrees out so 1/2 way through I stopped for drink of water and suddenly felt overheated and nasueous. Panicked right away and jumped into cold shower for fear I was having a heat stroke. Doctors keep telling me it's all anxiety and i'm even seeing a therapist and she is helpful but they are still there and have been controlling my life for the past 6 months.
 
yea my doctor said hes not worried about a heart attack or stroke because im only 19 and at a healthy weight but once im done excersing and my heart is beating fast i can never get it back to normal for hours i cant stop thinking that its beating fast because im about to have a stroke or heart attack. it just sucks when everyone says its anxiety when the mind is telling you otherwise and i was took off meRAB 3yrs ago when the pills were making me more nervous and causing more panic attacks plus i hate to depend on meRAB.
 
I did the same thing yesterday - I worked out and when I got back my heart was racing and i thought will I get my pulse down. All I want to do is sit in a chair and not move because if I do I am going to stir something up. I always feel dizzy and light headed. I just wen to the doctor and had all kinRAB of test. Right now I have a anxiety workbook I have been reading and it helps. Today I woke up early and I was wide awake nervous for no reason at all. I had to take a walk to calm myself down.
