Palpitations And Anxiety
Posted: 03-15-06 20:31pm

I am 14 years of age.
I was diagnosed with add, and I have had several medications. The most recent one being concerta. I had done something stupid recently and missed several days of medication. My parents told me to start taking it again, so I did. Then this monday during school I was minding my own and working while a video of greek mythology was playing. Then this sudden, loud, dramatic music starting playing, then I got extremely hot and I felt my heart racing. It stopped after about 30 seconds. I went to get a drink of water. Then about 10 minutes later I had another. I decided to wait till I got home. My parents told me it was probably my body just trying to get used to the re-introduced drug in my system.


For the last 3 days i've been constantly nervous, and aware of my heart beat, which I assume is palpitation. I have had a few more 'hot flashes' so to speak.

Today I have had none because I managed not to get too nervous, but I have been having palpitations on and off.

I believe these things are connected. I can't stop being nervous, im constantly palpitating, and its really depressing because I can't shake this off. My parents tell me i'll be fine.

I feel like if its really anxiety, and panic attacks, that i'll never get rid of it.

Is this all because I am constantly anxious?
I feel like im trapped.

Ps. I am pretty healthy. I have had no previous panic attacks or anxiety like this before.
