I think I'm going crazy


[Jr...]

Recommended Posts

I think I'm going crazy, so every single time I checked my pulse throughout the day I worry because it's in the 80s sometimes in the 90s but today my pulse maintain itself between the 60s and 70s and I'm still worrying because it's unusual, like I'm trying to figure out why my pulse was so good today like it's something bad going to happen now, I'm going crazy

I know, it was just weird that from one day to another it just starts changing completely like that. I mean I've never had a high but I've never had a perfect like this . I'm just a constant worrier

I totally understand.. when in w/d anything and everything freaks us out.. I would say be happy, tomorrow it may be back up again who knows. I am happy for you having a good day like this, it must have felt great.

And now I'm having a hard time breathing, and I don't really know if it's that I'm having a hard time breathing, I just have a hard time taking a deep breath. I start worrying that this might be nighttime asthma or something more serious. But then I start trying to think reasonable and say it might be allergies or anxiety

My allergies have been really bad this year, today was one of those days. Do allergies get worse when tapering off?

I'm not sure, what happens to me is that I just feel like I can't take that nice gasp of air

allergies tend to go crazy for many people while going through benzo withdrawal.  (The increased cortisol makes any existing allergies much worse, and new ones sometimes develop).

 

As far as a 90 heart rate, as long as your heart is health, this is not dangerous.  (Although always check with a doctor if you have trouble breathing!)  That being said, trouble breathing, or "air hunger" is extremely common in withdrawal, I would say a good majority of people have it at some point.

 

The first month I cut my dose, my heart rate did not drop below 120 (it was 140-160 and even high for hours during panic attacks I used to get while tapering).  Your pulse can easily change throughout the day.  Simply being startled by something can make your pulse jump over 20 points.  Over the next few months, my resting pulse rate gradually started to come down.  It was about 100 (resting - not panicking) in October, didn't go below 90 in November, then slowly returned to normal over the next month.

I'm sorry you woke up in pain  :-\  I hope it gets better, do you have any icy hot or anything?

 

lol i'm sure that thinking about your BP can make it go higher.. so what is it today so far?

I ran today, went up to 170, but I feel back and chest pains. Not like heart pain but like muscular or almost like gas....
