Hi Chris1979
Welcome to the forums and good on you for having the courage to post too!
I understand what you are going through as chronic anxiety symptoms can sometimes give us palpitations and a rapid heartbeat. This can be very common with anxiety
Just from my own experience with anxiety....Counsellors and therapists are very helpful yet seeing a good GP on regular basis can work wonders for our anxiety as they have a better understanding of mental health nowadays compared to when my anxiety started in 1983
The frequency of our visits is important to having some peace of mind. Every four weeks is ok....every two weeks is better. Can I ask if your anxiety interferes with your day to day well being?
The forums are a safe and non judgmental place for you to post Chris1979. There are many gentle people that can be here for you
any questions are always welcome
we are listening

Hi Paul
Thanks heaps for the reply. I will have a chat with my GP and see what he says. Not sure on how that will if I don’t come for a valid reason. Anxiety used to have more impact on my life previously. It also comes in phases. I just struggle with my thoughts about the anxiety. The fortune telling and worst case scenario predictions. That are never true.
Just feel lately to go on some medication to get a break for a while.
thanks Again
Chris
