Hello friend,
Oh man, i can completely relate.....but i have a cool story to go along with it!

It all started about 2 years ago that i started having weird heart stuff happen, pains in my chest, short of breath, left arm pain, and all the goodies that were included along with it. Well, i started to really worry about whether or not i was going to be alive another day......if i had been alone it would have been great cause then i would be with The Lord, but i have a wonderful wife....who needs me, so i was afraid cause i didn't want her to be alone and go through such sadness.
well anyway, i was so worried for a couple of months, then one day i was cutting carpet with a new utility knife that had really sharp razor for a blade.... well, i was not thinking and was using this 2x4 peice of wood for a straight edge.....well the board had a really huge screw sticking out of out that was bent.
i started to push the screw to the side so it wasnt in the way of my ability to draw a line......i still had the knife in my hand when the screw broke and my hand that was holding the knife slipped cutting straight acrss my other wrist!
blood started flowing out of my wrist......and i just knew that this wasnt good.....at least i didnt think so at the time.
i could even see some of the small bones in my wrist.....yuk!
Well, i have never been good about going to the doctor so i didnt......instead i prayed and covered my wrist with skin superglue and a towel........it took a while to heal, but it finally did......i ofcourse i am still alive!

The point is that when this happened The Lord made it clear to me if He wanted me dead, i would be dead! And i will not die til He says its time!

"Not one sparrow falls to the ground apart from The fathers will!"

It might not be a bad idea to go to the doctor, but i would say seek The Lord and His counsel, for only He knows what is best!!!

God Bless!

Can you work out what triggers your fear? Most of our fears are quite specific and we need to deal with them according to what they are based in. For example, i used to be lacking self confidence, and that causes many fears. Dealing with the self consciousness issue released me from many fears.

I've had panic attacks like you have described. Mine are generally accompanied by a feeling of impending doom or fear of dying from a heart attack. I've found that caffeine (or any stimulant for that matter) would be a trigger for these attacks.

I quit caffeine for a long period of time and found that I wouldn't have any of these incidents. Then I tried having caffeine again and it happened again. I went through this cycle of off again on again for a couple years.

I talked to my Dr. about it and he prescribed a certain medication I can take to make them go away. I don't take the med unless I go into a panic attack and then it generally goes away in about 15 minutes. I've since started drinking caffeine again and have had to take the pill a few times. Now caffeine doesn't seem to trigger them to the extent that it used to and I hardly have to take the pills.

I don't know if the pills corrected some negative associations I had leftover from my drug days (I was a meth addict until the Lord delivered me a few years ago) or what.

Anyways, I am not personally a big fan of medications as I believe that they usually just cover up the problem rather than solving it (of course I am not a doctor or anything like that). But I thought maybe my experiences might in some way be helpful to you.

One thing that I do know is that the Lord our God does not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Ti 1:7) So this place of weakness you currently have in your life is not something that the Lord desires for you.

I pray that the root of this problem is brought to the light so that it can be dealt with quickly and efficiently in Jesus name.

I get stressed out a lot to. I know I'm only 14. Many people don't think 14 year olds get stressed out, but lets just say if you had a life like mine you would get stressed out too.
Thing about my stress and my burdens was I would keep them to myself. I'm a person who try's to hold it all in and take care of everyone else before myself. God didn't like the idea of me trying to do it all by myself. So I had to share my burden with God.

So my advice to you is hand your burden over to God. Hand him your stress.

28"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

- Matthew 11:28-30


I'm praying for you!

Yes, I have the whole arrythmia thing going on almost daily. It always triggers my anxiety. Even though my doctor says my heart is fine, I don't believe him at the time.

Most of our fears are quite specific and we need to deal with them according to what they are based in. For example, i used to be lacking self confidence, and that causes many fears. Dealing with the self consciousness issue released me from many fears.

After I recognize a fear in me, I do what Johnnz says here and afterwards humbly ask God to remove them. I do this when I am at rest and write out the various fears on paper.

So my advice to you is hand your burden over to God. Hand him your stress.

When I my heart starts to race unexpectedly, I stop what I am doing focus on the Lord and rest in Him while at the same to giving Him whatever caused the racing heart. My heart slows down quickly after that.
