I’ve been having episodes for quite some time where I feel chest discomfort, often starting after acidity or gas, with a lot of burping. Once this happens, my anxiety suddenly increases and my heart rate goes up and feels like it doesn’t settle easily. During these episodes my neck and body feel very stiff, and even deep breathing doesn’t calm things down much. I’ve had ECGs done several times and they’ve always been normal, but in the moment it still feels frightening and I worry that something might be wrong with my heart. I’ve discussed this with doctors many times and was told it could be anxiety-related, and advised to take anxiety medication or see a psychologist. I want to understand what treatment or medicines could actually help, because these episodes keep recurring and are affecting my daily life.
I want to know is it really necessary to take bath everytime I poop or is it just my OCD? Actually, I have a habit of taking bath whenever I go to poop. I feel gross siting on the commode while pooping due to which I immediately take bath. That's why I wanted to clear my doubt, if it's really important to take bath everytime I poop or is it simply my OCD?
I am having some health anxiety especially cardiophobia with some little mood disorders. I am able to do day to day activities like go outside, move alone, but there is some continuous health anxiety with little mood changes. My psychiatrist diagnosed me GAD with MD and prescribed me Sertraline 25mg then 50 mg, which I am taking. But he also prescribed me antipsychotic Aripriprazole 2 mg with it. I am afraid to take Aripriprazole. Shall I take SSRI only or go with Aripriprazole also.
