Sudden increase in heart beat.
Hi I am 46 years old, very fit, don't have any health complications, i get master health check up every six months and all the reports come absolutely normal. I walk 6kms everyday and i am fitness freak. My issue is whenever I read or hear any heart attack news who is younger than me, suddenly I feel like I might be victim of that in coming days. My heart beats rapidly and mostly this happens in the middle of the night..I try to calm down considering my fitness and reports which are normal. This feeling disturbs me atleast couple of days from the day i listen these type of news..kindly suggest any resolution which can be helpful and to come out of this disturbing situation..

How to deal with panic attacks A panic attack is a feeling of sudden and intense anxiety. Panic attacks can also have physical symptoms, including shaking, feeling disorientated, nausea, rapid, irregular heartbeats, dry mouth, breathlessness, sweating and dizziness. The symptoms of a panic attack are not dangerous, but can be very frightening. They can make you feel as though you are having a heart attack, or that you are going to collapse or even die.  Most panic attacks last somewhere from 5 minutes to half an hour. Ride the attack. Try to keep talking. If possible, do not leave the situation until you leave the anxiety. " "Face your fear. If you do not run away from it, then you are giving yourself the chance to find out that nothing is going to happen." As the anxieties start to pass, begin to pay attention to your surroundings and continue what you were doing earlier. "If you are visiting a small horror suddenly, it can be helpful in having someone with you, assures you that it will pass and there is nothing to worry about the symptoms," Breathing Exercise for Panic Attack If you are breathing quickly during a panic attack, then breathing exercises can reduce your other symptoms. Use it: Breathe slowly, deeply and slowly through your nose. Breathe slowly, deeply and slowly through your mouth. Some people help in counting each breath and every breathlessly from 1 to 5. Close your eyes and focus on your breathing. You should start feeling better in a few minutes. You can feel tired later. Ways to Stop panic attacks "You need to try to tell that you can be under special stress which can make your symptoms worse," "It is important not to restrict your movements and daily activities." Exercising breathing every day will help prevent and relieve panic attacks when they are occurring. Regular exercise, especially aerobic exercise, will help you manage stress levels, release stress, improve your mood and increase confidence. Make regular meals to stabilize your blood glucose levels. Avoid caffeine, alcohol and smoking - they can make panic attacks worse. Terror help groups like non-panic have useful advice about how you can manage your attacks effectively. Knowing that other people are experiencing similar feelings, can be confident.
