Racing Heart (seems Forever) After Running Posted: 01-03-06 23:38pm
Hi, I am a 17 year old male, and ever
since my episodes have started, I can no
longer run like I used to. I used to be
big on being a track athlete, now I can't
even make it to the end of my road. When
I stop, my hearts beats fast, and I know
it's normal, but it takes a very long time
for it to calm down and stop beating hard
and quick, and when the quickness leaves,
the pounding still stays for awhile.
These attacks have literally scared me to
the point of insanity, so please, if there
is anyone out there that can relate, and
can tell me if this is from my heavy
anxiety, please comment on this, I really
need some support right now, any replies
will be much appreciated, thanks guys and
girls.

Are you currently taking any kind of
medication or drug because that could lead
to accelerated heart rate and certain
anxiety symptoms.

Same Thing Posted: 04-04-06 14:19pm
Yes, the same thing happens to me now
since I started having panic attacks. The
funny thing is, when I was going on a
strenuous hike with my friends and I was
relaxed, that didn't happen. Of course my
heart was beating fast because I was
exercising, but because I wasn't thinking
about it and stressing, it went down
pretty quickly. I know it is going to be
pretty hard to tell urself that its just
anxiety and stress, as it still is for me.
But maybe that will help you out a
little. Good luck :d

That what ive been wondering lately.I use
to work out and go for walks/jogs I
coulnt even jog long cuz I used to smoke
but still I remmeber thiking ok mitch push
youre heart harder now make it beat faster
,now as soon as it beats a little fast I
freak out.Im noticing things I never used
to notice for instance when I pass a mop
at work(work in a italian restaurant) I
notice my heart beaitng faster.My
rational side says its normal the mop is
heavy full of water and im doing it in a
hot kitchen for like 10 minutes my herat
rate will go up and the anxiety will make
it go up s well but sometimes it gives me
panic.
I started taking walk again I started 5
minutes now I do 10-15 and I come back a
little bit outta breath and my heart rate
up but I try to fight it.
Remeber that if you stop complitly then
for sure youre heart will go faster
because its physical effort kinda like a
chain .Wich is why I started back slow to
make me strong again....Damn I should
listen to my own advice sometimes lol I
freak myself out going up stairs somtimes
lol cuz my heart is beating faster. The
other day I went up 3 floors...6 flights
of stairs at 8 stair each flight my heart
was beating so fast I freaked out but when
I came down I realised how may stair I
just went up lol.My freind was like why
you freaking out?? Lol anyways hope this
helps and send me somefeed back

You can always do the walk run, that is
when you walk fast paced and then run
some, they have found that constant
running is very hard on your back and all
and part of it could be anxity but if in
doubt get it checked out by your dr or a
cardiologist as it could be something
else.
As I am not a Dr.
Good luck!
