How do you deal with anxiety when you don’t actually feel anxious? I don’t usually have health anxiety or any sort of anxiety at all tbh but I’m otherwise healthy so I think anxiety is probably causing this without even realising it (as in, im anxious without even realising it)
basically I felt a bit funny and decided to check my oxygen (I don’t usually check it, but I’m severely asthmatic and during lockdown followed the advice to get a sat checker from Argos) tbh I’ve only ever used it during an asthma attack but I don’t routinely check it or anything. Anyway, I felt a bit funny so wanted to check if my asthma was being a bit funny. My peak flow is a little bit low but nothing significant. My oxygen was fine. But my pulse was 170! I checked a family member and there’s is fine, and also changed the battery in case it’s dodgy but nope it’s still saying it.
I think i must be feeling a bit anxious without even realising it and that’s made it go up, but since I don’t know what I’m anxious about, how on earth do I fix it?! I can feel my heart thudding and it’s not exactly comfortable. I’ve tried deep breathing and meditation but it’s not helping, but because I don’t know what I’m anxious about I’ve no idea how to help the symptoms!!
does anyone have any experience of this??
