My anxiety automatically goes down when Cherelle video comes on ❤️❤️ she is the best

I’ve been told I’m healthy by docs and cardio, but it always comes back up when I get super stressed out :( I needed this assurance again, thank you cherelle ❤️

Thank you for this video! My resting rate has gone down ever since I realized it was anxiety-related (and not that something psychically was wrong with me). Also, exercise is really helpful too, to help prove to yourself that your heart is indeed healthy.

44 year old American male checking in. Mowed the grass in the heat today and took a couple hours to get heart rate below 100. Health anxiety kicked in so I ended up here. Great video very informative. You’re also pretty and have a attractive accent ; )

Watching this at 110 and trying to calm the F down. Reassuring to find others with the same feelings. 😵‍💫

This is so relatable. For months I would wake up out of bed, full panick but at the time I didn’t know it was panick and my heart rate would be over 160 to around 200. I thought I was dying every morning just to get a drink of water. I remember walking outside with the dogs and just lying on the floor crying because I thought I was dying. Eventually I would fall back asleep and try to courage myself into going to work. During the day it would average around 100-140, and when I finally got home from work it would be around 80. After 7 months of this something finally triggered in my brain that all this was created from the inside, and I wasn’t going to be able to cure my anxiety from the outside. I still have my days and I feel I am much more graceful for the times I am not panicking. I am still scared of doing some of the things I used to but in the past 4 months I have grown exponentially.

I had the same thing Cherelle from the age of 13 I am now 62. It got better after the age of 24 after I had my 2nd child but it came back after menopause. You are doing an amazing job! I listen to you all the time. Congrats 🎉

I have a great story this is coming from somebody who was diagnosed with anxiety disorder in 2019 and I would say I am 90% recovered. Forgive me for any run-on sentences or spelling mistakes. This is being written talk to text. Between 2019 and 2020 I think I went to the emergency care room three times all for shortness of breath, chest pain and fast Racing heart rate. Sometimes accompanied with left arm pain, all the class symptoms and signs of heart attacks. I would typically have a resting heart rate of 120 to 130 and then if something was triggered in terms of let’s say a nurse felt like there was something wrong with me. I would go into a higher state of panic and that would send my heart rate between 150 and 170. I will never forget checking my Apple Watch and it showed a heart rate of 188. I was literally standing in my kitchen. Blood pressure would be high in the 80s over 110. I literally had the nurses and staff doctor worried they would ask me if anybody had suddenly died in my family which caused me even more anxiety to even think about and then they asked how my chest pain was , at first it wasn’t bad and then all of a sudden I got a really sharp pain without realizing that it was the ECG sticky pad. Stuck to my chest hair lol I had a freak out. Anyways, they told me to follow up with my general practitioner so I made a visit with him and he noticed my high heart rate and high blood pressure and said this is not normal. We need to get you in with a cardiologist as soon as possible. I told him I think I’m suffering from anxiety, and every every single time I would bring that up people would say no this isn’t caused by anxiety… Which, of course would make my anxiety that much much worse. So we went to cardiologist he did an initial intake. I explained all my symptoms, and thankfully the cardiologist has seen this many times before, and said you’re most likely fine, but we will do all the work ups. So they did an echocardiogram of my heart while I was there, and said everything looked top-notch. he put me on a beta blocker to help with the heart rate to see if that would change anything and said live your life as normal even go exercise and I will see you in about one and a half months for a stress test. I end up coming back for my stress test and my panic is through the roof. I’m like oh my God what are they gonna find? What if this is bad? Who knows what’s gonna happen to me I don’t even know. It will forever being drained in my head. I remember going into the room where they have the treadmill and all that machinery to hook up to get your heart rate and blood pressure and all that stuff, and before I even stepped on the treadmill to start the stress test. My heart rate was at 153 bpm. Literally I have not done anything except stand in place lol! She asked me if I wanted to have a cup of water which the water was cold and I think that helped bring it down about to 145. I started the stress test and I focused on my breathing as I walked, and it actually made my heart rate go down, and I think that’s because I could literally Not focus on my panic for that split 30 seconds or so and that kind of relaxed me. They got my heart rate up to 200 bpm at peak which required me to do a little bit of jogging. She was taking my heart rate and my blood pressure and my blood pressure would not drop from 140/95 I believe and heart rate would not drop below 130. I was literally just sitting there but because I was still panicking my vitals were not dropping to normal range. They took me to a different room where they called the cardiologist and the other nurse practitioner and they hook me up to a different machine and they asked me to do what’s called a vagal maneuver basically think of if you are a little bit constipated and you have to push apparently doing that cause my heart rate to normalize And look good again. So they said you potentially might have ventricular tachycardia… There is a surgery for it but after doing some research it can always come back and then some people it just goes away normally so I decided to not do the surgery which they said I didn’t have to do it that this is not a problem and not something to be concerned about. I had no surgery and I do not suffer from any more issues..

A fast heart rate was my first anxiety symptom 2.5 years ago. Thanks for sharing.

God bless. Thank you for posting this. It's good to be reassured I'm an anxious creature and my heart reflects this triggered state.

One thing that helped me was thinking that each time you check your heart rate it is like winding up a clock. The more you check it the tighter the spring gets and the longer the clock will run. Meaning, the more I constantly check my heart rate the more I’m prone to panicking and having the the symptoms that follow. Some of my best days are when I complete forget about my cardio phobia and just stay grounded with what I want to accomplish. The hardest part about health anxiety for me is losing the confidence and drive I once had in being able to just go out and do the things I want.

I am so relieved after listening to you... My heart beats when resting is always over 100... often around 120 and I thought this was like SUPER fast... Wow I can't imagine what 180 felt like! Sometimes I have mixed with the speed a very strong pump which feels like my heart will explode! Happy to have found your video. Thanks! 😊

Long time subscriber. Cherelle you continue to bless so many of us!

My heart has been beating fast for almost a year now went to the doctor had a blood test they told me everything was fine that I just needed to exercise more I was an active person I’m pretty lean but ever since I’ve had my heart beating like that I feel like I can’t even run or do anything for a long time I do see that when I get anxious it does go up I have to try and overcome my anxiety I trust in God he will be with me and help me overcome whatever I am going through

Gosh- you continue to match me right down the line as far as health-obsessions. I spent 2/3 of my twenties worrying about my heart-rate, compulsively timing my pulse. It was usually quite fast- 90's-110...Then it started "skipping" beats. I was terrified for years. Saw every dr. in NYC! I thought of nothing else. What a pity. I'm in my 60's now- and I never give it a thought. My heart rate is now normal-low. I do think I may have had POTS. That often resolves with time.

Please make a video about POTS if you've ever feared it also your videos have helped me a lot. Thank you so much :)

I've had this since living (unknowingly) in a moldy house. I also read that grief is the number one thing that can cause a high resting heart rate. Thanks for the informative video.

Your story calms my fears a lot. The worst tachycardia episode I had last year I reached 140 bpm and ecg was normal. I still had trouble calming down for almost a full day but: 1. I have been going through ssri withdrawal for a couple of months already. 2. That day I didn't eat much and had a very strong coffee, besides doing stressful work involving money. 3. I've been recovering from Vestibular Neuritis for a couple of years by that point that almost always caused me restlessness and anxiety. I can't really imagine being at 174 bpm, 140 was so utterly terrifying.

Thanks, -I have had this problem for the last few months. Just after heart Ablation for AFIB. you have helped me understand better. 🙏🏻

I suffered with this for a long time, thank you for this video, so so relatable

I have pots and grade 1 dystolic dysfunction- my resting heart rate has never been below 110 in 2 years. Its scary .. health weigh..non smoker tee total... im 59....SUBSCRIBED 😁

You just caused an increase in my heart rate 😍

Terror sheer terror! Yep boy,I can't wait for another issue after the one im tripping off of right now. Lol anxiety panic disorder is savage af.

U have hit the nail on the head .....4 me .....i have been through a lot of bad stuff in my life and i have ptsd... i think about bad stuff thats happen all the time metoprolol beta blocker helps ...my doc..says it anxity and i am doing it 2 my self ....watch what u think stay in good spirits.....you are helping so manycpeople because before your video i felt a lone and really kinda didn't know u have helped me greatly GOD BLESS TO U ...and all thank u...

When I have had my heart rate spike (110-120) it almost always causes my stomach to growl fiercely. I will notice that before the heart pounding feeling because I'm busy doing something else. If it's at night, I drink lemon balm tea and take 2 lavender pills.

I was misdiagnosed for anxiety 3 times until I finally saw a cardiologist and they diagnosed me inappropriate sinus tachycardia 😣

Recommendations for a true resting HR is when you wake up and before you get out of bed.

Thank you FOR VALUABLE INFO...YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL🥰

I'm very anxious too, I'm afraid of dying of a heart attack but the problem with me is that in addition to having a constantly high heart rate, he gets particularly excited after eating during digestion, drinking alcohol, when I'm sick and I, who was a great sportswoman, I can no longer play sports because after the slightest effort my heart takes forever to come down (sometimes more than 1 hour for 10 minutes of running) as if I don't had no recovery. However, apart from a few Bouveret tachycardias, the exams are good... does it do the same thing to anyone? I no longer manage to know what is of the order of anxiety and biology. Sorry for the mistakes I used google translate, I'm French but there is no video on this in French

THANK YOU MUCH APPRECIATED

I know this is on the complete opposite side of the river, but here goes: For me, the most scary symptom related most probably to anxiety(my GP and two separate cardiologists ruled out heart relation) is the feeling of pre-shutdown. This includes general numbness, brain fog, derealization, like I am in a dream or something, cold hands/feet, weakness, lightheadedness and most importantly and most scary for me, bradycardia. That would be my most severe and scary symptom. For a certain period, I would experience this array of symptoms nearly everyday at work, where I would constantly check my heart rate, in case it dropped "too low". I am an active person, take care of my diet, so sitting in front of the computer, in a relaxed kind of state, dropping at 52-57 is considered normal for me, as I was reassured by my doctors. This symptom, which was the core reason for my heart/health anxiety started to wane when I found out it is in fact a stress response, called freeze/shutdown anxiety response. This response is common in nature and animals. It is what some prey do in the face of total danger, where they "play dead". They are not playing dead but their bodies actually shutdown so that the predator takes them for dead and leaves them. It is like the last ditch option for the organism to survive, when fight nor flight are possible. So, after this symptom kinda waned, another symptom came on the surface, and that is elevated resting heart rate, more palpitations and a general feeling tightness in the chest/upper stomach/diaphragm area, as well as more frequent episodes of breathlesness when I exercise only a little. What I want to say is that everyone experience health anxiety differently and according to their fears. But the first and hardest step is to realize that it is anxiety, before realizing that all of us are more than anxiety. EDIT: I wrote this comment before you mention your aunt's case of low heart rate panic attacks, so yeah, there are more of us I guess.

Thank you I found out that the bracelet that I used for workouts measure heart rate and I am constantly checking and it freaks me out. Decided not use it daily only on workouts to see calories burned. Not checking everything else because it exacerbates my health anxiety.

my heart rate has been 130 or under when i’m resting but after i’m walking the highest it was 187 but i was rlly worried i was in the hospital for 2 days but they said it was anxiety

This happens all the time to me. Btw when you feel like a throbbing pulsating feeling, do you classify them as twitches?

Thanks for sharing your story. I'm athlete, in good shape, healthy heart, i.e, Yet I find my BPM is all over the place. 60s early in the morning and higher in the evening. Makes absolutely no sense. For 2.5 months, I couldn't sleep because of palpations. I have been to the doctors, i.e. but the BP numbers are not that high, just the BPM. So I just don't know how to make it calm down?

Mine has always been high like 110. I don't know what to do

I had to get a surgery on my legs recently and it was like a multi step thing so it meant many many appts, and my doctor was worried. I had to tell her my heart is fine, I’ve gotten it checked several times- my blood pressure is totally fine, but my heart is racing, on the weekends it’s like 70-80, but every time my doctor took it it was like 100-130 and she was concerned. I told her I have crazy anxiety and stress, and she was skeptical because I seem “so relaxed” I wasn’t worried about the surgery (it was a vein thing they did with needles laparoscopically) but what was happening is I was rushing from my stressful job to the doctors appt and I internalize anxiety, you’d literally never know I have it but my body has a visceral reaction. I seem super cool and chill but internally my alarms bells are going crazy. I was so scared for a while about it and I’m still working on it but it makes me a little crazy when mentally I feel ok but then my body is just like “…run”

Hello, there are times when I just water the plants or walk upstairs that I will suddenly just feel so tired and my heart is pounding from 100-120. My chest feels sour and uncomfortable. It took an hour or so to lower my heart rate a bit. I am not sure if this is related to muscle strain in my neck (I have cervical spondylosis and 54 yo). Everytime it happens I really feel fear and like I'm having a heart attack. Any input on that? Thanks!

Randomly two months ago I noticed my heart rate was extremely high, I was freaked out and called my husband and he told me to check my pulse and it was 139. He then said “well- that can’t be right that’s super high” which sent me into a panic thinking I was going to die and I call 911, by the time they get there my heart rate is now in the high 170’s and for about a week or two after that I’d randomly just get a super high spiked heart rate and continuously go into the ER and always being told I was fine other than I have tachycardia. Now these past few weeks my heart rate hasn’t reached the 180’s in about a month but it’s at a constant 105-120 throughout the day and gets worse when I’m driving, moving around, or thinking about it. I’m 32 weeks pregnant and am terrified how my birth is going to go and have even have thoughts of “am I going to survive birth”….im in a really terrifying time in my life. I can’t get into a cardiologist anytime soon and the ER keeps telling me my heart looks good other than it’s just really fast….i feel like giving up some days.

Been going through the same thing for the past month only time it's in the 60's is when I'm sleeping.

Do you get spaced out drunk feeling specially during walking

Thank you so much, I went into doctor yesterday heart rate 125 to 130 with anxiety

Give this a like because as usual you explain things so brilliantly although I don't worry about this myself. Cherelle you explained in another video about depersonalisation and it was great but I would like to ask if depersonalisation also can cause you to feel as if you are disintegrating. I get this and it brings on during the night pictures in my head of weird looking people and animals and during the day my fear of eye floaters. Is this all caused by anxiety.

This is me right now, every min I’m checking my pulse. It doesn’t help that after I eat my heart rate goes up to 107 and I freaked out 😭 I had to google if it’s normal for your pulse rate to go up high after eating

Cherelle, this is not about heart rate but it comes on me at the moment. I wake up about 5.30am with a stomach ache and a very dry mouth. Did you ever experience anything like that? Is it just an other anxiety thing.

I just Woke up to a racing heart rate, I checked my Fitbit and it shot up to 160 BPM from 60 BPm, it lasted for a good 1.5- 2 mins. It was pounding badly. It was a damn scary feeling, anxious and nervous. It has happened before too but this was a lot solid and after 2 years or so. .

Mines caused by lack of hormones since going into menopause apparently. Had extensive testing just awaiting echocardiogram in two weeks time and hoping nothings found. Doctors have said I need HRT!!

Today when I was doing pretty well/average my heart rate was 140 😭

The best thing to do is try not to fight it with your mind. Because it gets you more scared and then heart will just beat faster and faster and then you start panicking. It's hard to do at first but eventually you can kinda control it in a way once it starts racing drink some cold water and just try to breath normal and relax . I have had my heart race at about 140 PR BPM with a panic attacks it is scary tho. Makes you feel like your dying.

We share the same uncommon name except mine is spelled CHARYLLE… I suffer from GAD and today as I sat in my den, my heart decided beat out of control 😮😮😮

mine is high, around 83 but then it starts to spike when I monitor it or think about it lol...

It takes me over an hour to get my heart rate under 100 after exercise. But I don’t feel like my heart is beating fast. Normally my resting heart rate is 65 to 75 in the morning.

Definitely relate

I had something the same thanks!

Man that has to be stressful. Anyone with a heart rate 130-40 at rest must get to the bottom of it. Many don’t want meds but you must if it’s running that high everyday. Then attempt to wean yourself off.

Mine reaches to maybe from around 90 to 99 when I’m resting and when my anxiety goes up, it goes to maybe 110+

is it just me or does anyone else see the orbs keep flying past the camera

My heart rate has been between 97bpm and 110bpm for a few days now which is high for me I'm not quite sure what to do to bring it down I've also had a bit of a temperature the other night I woke up sweating and shivering cos my temperature wat 37.9°C but the nurse on the ward I'm currently on was saying it wasn't too high it has been going up and down the most recently temp reading was 37°C what should I do

How did you get out of your anxiety? I have a lot of anxiety, gad, and a pulse of over 100 when I rest.

Upon waking up, my heart rate (HR) is 53 beats per minute. In the afternoon, while I’m relaxing and watching TV on my couch, my HR is about 64 beats per minute. Which of these would be considered my Resting Heart Rate?

How were you able to sleep with heart rate so high? Sounds so scary…thank you for sharing.

Do you ever get vibrating sensations

That’s more like SVT than just anxiety.

Currently at 120 bpm and I feel so uncomfortable 😵‍💫 I'm not even feeling anxious

Pottasium difficiency causes fast resting heart rate

My heart rate was 125 today

Hi sister while panic attack,my body moving with my heart beat.

Did you ever wake up in the night with the same HR?

Anyone have this during or at the end of sexual encounters?

Im on this right now after getting covid

That's high mines is around 80 90

How do you face the MRI I literally walked out of the scanning center can you give some tips for facing MRI I'm really bad claustrophobic

I am going thru menopause and when i get a hotflash my heart beat faster.

iv watched millions ov videos and never seen that

My heart rate when I'm resting usually 54 and when I get anxiety attack it goes up past 100 but sometimes I have anxiety and my heart rate is around 60 to 70

Hi

Hey is it possible to have arrhythmia or afib due to Anxiety? Is it tachycardia or arrhythmia or afib can u please explain.

Does anxiety affects our nerves ??

mine is 101 bmp just sitting

have u noticed the orbs floating around you in the video wtf is that

watch this video on a tv wtf is surrounding you cherrel at the the start of the video you said that a fly was attacking you and then these orbs are surrounding you

You would also have a high resting heart rate if your body is fighting off an infection

YESSSSSS ME

In the 120s? Damn, girl, that's like running while you rest. I have anxiety, and the worst it gets is about 85, from 69.

Metoprolol is God for this lol

I think you have pots not anxiety

Thank you. No disrespect but I could just kiss you right now.

You’re cute

this lady..she just want money.

Mine went up to 133 after walking up the stairs, but when i checked after sitting went down to 122 and then i panicked 😂 went up to 133 again but went down to 108 after calming down.
