Anxiety and Palpitations
I've been having heart palpitations since December 2025, my pulse rate used to be almost above 110 when checked. My doctor gave me a bunch of medications which kinda worked I think and last month he told me to stop them and take only when required but now I don't know I'm almost crying everyday. At night, my brain feels like a safari where 100's of tabs are open and needs to shut down. There are random questions, random scenarios. I flinch even when there's any unusual sound. I wake up scared and palpitated in the morning. I took ELM Pro, as prescribed to me. But why is it happening again? It literally stopped and I was all better.

Depression sadly is a relapsing illness. Sometimes the episode comes again. It's an episode so it will also end. If after tapering medication this happened maybe during treatment therapy support was not given. But good part is if you got better with medications, again restarting the medications would bring recovery and then instead of stopping all medications we can taper down the dose and continue very less medications for a longer duration like probably two years. Throughout this medication treatment, side by side therapy support can be taken, which would help immensely by resolving your core patterns. I provide online consultation and therapy support you can contact me directly for detailed evaluation and management.
