Can you die from ''Tachycardia Palpitations'' ? ?=Medication for anxiety ''Murelax'' & ''Inderal''?

Ive got tachycardia palpitations just wondering is it possible that i can die from it i have anxiety & a guy said on youtube he had anxiety for over a decade & he said you CANT die from anxiety panic attacks no one has never been knowin to die from it? Is this true? Everytime my anxiety comes on i get feared of dieing & start to feel im losing control will it ever happen to me? Im really scared its frightning i take medication called: ''Murelax'' & ''Inderal'' are these tablets good i take them 2 times a day i find they help a little bit but i my heart still plays up & also i find it gets worst at night when im trying to go to sleep i start freaking out & my heart starts beating rapidly & i get a bit numb & feel faintness & shortness or breath & feel like im about to lose control :( ?!

Please explain how ''Murelax'' & ''Inderal'' works?

Thanks.

The guy on YouTube is right; you cannot die from tachycardia due to anxiety and panic attacks. I suffered from major anxiety attacks and palpitations last year and I was always worried about my heart - which spurs the anxiety on MORE! My psychologist showed me this fact sheet on the MYTHS about panic attacks - your question was one of the busted myths! It also said the heart could work fine at 200bpm for 2 months straight!! Its amazing!

I understand how you are feeling; the feeling of losing control when the physical symptoms grip hold (palpitations, numb, faint, hyperventilation) is pretty awful. I cannot comment on the current medication you are on unfortunately, however maybe it is worth going to see your GP again and explaining that the meds are not doing there job.

I got over my anxiety by seeing a psychologist for CBT and a naturopath who gave me lots of powerful herbs to calm my body down. I still get the occassional racing heart, and like you it is also at night time. I think this sometimes has to do with your blood pressure getting lower as you get tired and your heart tries to compensate by pumping faster and that is why your pulse increases.... I told my naturopath this and she put the herb Hawthorne in my herb mix as it increases blood pressure.

Hope this helps! Definitely go see your GP again perhaps try to see a psychologist to discuss issues a little deeper! Just wanted to let you know you aren't alone with these symptoms and many ppl experience what you are going through!

Take care.

I recently was sent to a cardiologist due to the fact that at rest my heart rate was 150bmp. I had to have a couple tests and found out I had Sinus Tachycardia. I asked the doctor if I could die from this and he said the type that I have "No". There are 2 types of Tachycardia- one that actually effects the valves and heart and yes you could have a heart attack from it- then there is the type that doesn't effect your heart that way. I actually agree that you cannot die from panic attacks but they can lead you to hyperventilate. I really do suggest u see a cardio doctor and have it checked out. I would not mess around when it came to your heart. I am not trying to scare you, I'm just saying u can't be too careful when it comes down to the Heart! One thing I can say is age these days do not matter cause I'm not that old.
