How to stop excess personal anxiety on soon 3hr airplane flight

How to stop excess personal anxiety on soon 3hr airplane flight?
Sometimes in flight I worry about having a heart problem even though I don't and my doctor said mine is fine. I do have diagnosed anxiety/depression (Generalized Anxiety Disorder and OCD) and mild depression because of it and take about 40mg fluoxetine (Prozac generic) daily which has helped a lot. I'm soon going with my family on an airplane trip and don't want my heart to beat too fast on the airplane but ironically this worry/focus makes it beat faster haha. I had this worry before and made it fine on a 7hr Tokyo to Honolulu flight and this time it'll be a 3hr Minneapolis to San Antonio flight. What can I do to be less anxious about my heart and have more positive focus? That is my only anxiety is that I'll have problems like that on the flight. I literally have less worry than most others about the plane crashing/turbulence fears, etc.

Did you know more people die from medical malpractice than they do in airplane crashes per year? You have no more chance of dying on an airplane than you do of dying somewhere else, so being in an airplane isn't really the problem here. Anxiety is a real issue, I'd recommend going to a doctor...but iatrogenesis is the 3rd leading cause of death in the US.... if the prozac isn't helping the anxiety, consider getting something else.

friend of mine is nervous on planes recently he had to take a business the dr prescribed xanax it helped. I think he took one before and during flight
3 :
Why not ask the doctor who is prescribing the Prozac to also prescribe a medication to hellp get over the flight. Please be very frank with him and tell him that you do need to have something that will ease your anxiety. Also try to have an appointment with a psychologist and she or he may be able to quell some of the anxiety you are having without medication. You might also try something like yoga or acupunction prior to boarding the plane which may help to ease the anxiety associated with the flight. There are also head sets which totally cut out the noise of the plane's engines and the other aspects of the plane ride. There are also IPODS which just are those that have music on them. It is possible to purchase one that can hold up to 1000 songs and does not need charging for an 11 hour period of time. This will allow you to forget that your heart has a tendency to beat faster to the point that you feel you are having a heart attack. I am sure your heart is normal. You just need to place your attention in another form so that you cannot experience this.

Confusion about connecting flights

Confusion about connecting flights?
I am flying roundtrip to Texas this upcoming June. I had to buy connecting flights (cleveland-houston-san antonio) then (san antonio-houston-cleveland). My question is, when I check into my flight in Cleveland, then land in Houston, do I have to check into my Houston-San Antonio flight or does the Cleveland check-in cover all of my flights for that day? any answers and advice are much appreciated. thank you.

You should be getting all boarding passes in Cleveland, but if for any reason you don't (in can happen) they agent will let you know to check-in Houston, but you can always ask to double check.
2 :
If you're on the same airline or partner airline you'll get both boarding passes when you check in for your 1st flight in each direction. If you have checked baggage, your baggage will also be forwarded to your final destination in each direction.
3 :
since you dont say what airline we can only guess if its the same airline (continental for example) or a partner (codeshare) airline then your bags will be check though to San Antonio if if one of you flights in on continental and connecting flight is on Southwest then you will have to claim your luggage at Houston and recheck them with southwest and re clear security again since southwest doesnt interline with anyone else (note if both flight are on southwest then the bags will be checked though to San Antonio
4 :
cleveland flight is enough for the day. if you check in bags, make sure you get a slip back from them and it should say where the final destination is. person giving you your tickets and bag slips usually tell you what city to claim your luggage but if they don't, ask.
