Members deeply related to the original question about unexplained anxiety, with many describing their own experiences of persistent worry, racing thoughts, chest pressure, nighttime panic, and a general feeling that something is wrong even when physically stable. Several members shared practical coping strategies including slowing down when anxiety hits, completing small tasks to regain a sense of control, practicing meditation and deep breathing, staying busy with new activities, and discussing symptoms openly with doctors who can rule out physical causes like AFib or thyroid issues and prescribe appropriate anti-anxiety medications. A recurring theme was the emotional challenge of living with a chronic illness that affects breathing and energy, the importance of self-advocacy in seeking mental health support, and the reassurance that anxiety is a common and manageable part of navigating life with pulmonary hypertension.

Afternoon,
For me anxiety is almost a daily thing it's a lil worse since my diagnosis. I think it's just caused from not being able to do what your mind wants to do a lot of times my body feels tired but my mind races with what should be done and I get anxiety. It is hard to explain the feeling you have. Even for me to explain to you. Try picking a small task to complete sometimes that helps

Pat..I have come to the conclusion that really no one cares enough to ask these questions,,,the ones who don't have our issues....all wrapped up in their own....or maybe because they feel bad themselves knowing they can't fix them.....I always say I am o.k and let it go....

Yeah, I had that same feeling in the beginning. In fact, that was one of my first questions here recommendations on how to keep my anxiety down.
Its hard. I had to come to an acceptance of what I have and that I need to be strong and continue to try to be the best that I can. Pick your battles every day, knowing that there will be another day to fight the other battles.
Be mindful of your body and how its feeling and know that you can say no to things if dont feel or want to do something.
I am trying to keep myself busy with new activities, but anxiety does creep on me now and then.
You should also consider bringing this up with your doctor too. I did and they gave me very encouraging responses.

Another feeling I feel on the edge sometimes like something is wrong if we calm down and just breathe through it I intuition will let us know if there's really something wrong or not and that's what I go with my mind I keep saying you need to go to the doctor you need to go then I'll go but only after I have relaxed my thinking and stop panicking
