Health Anxiety

by Bryan1844, May 12, 2009 06:38PM
Hello everyone. My name is Bryan and I am 28yr old male. Ive been dealing with anxiety/ocd since I was 13yrs old. It all started when my grandfather died of a heart attack and ever since then I think I have a heart condition. Ive had EKG's, echocardiograms, 24hr holter moniter and a 21 day event monitor (still waiting results) and so far everything has come back normal. I have always played sports and been active and now being 28, I know alot more about my body then I did when I was 13. I get feelings of skipped heart beats and I remember when I was 13 having it as well but didnt think much of it cause I was 13. I could be having a good day and then out of no where comes the skipped beats and it puts a damper on my day. I feel these daily and also when I feel like my heart rate should be high it seems lower then normal. I play in 2 softball leagues and usually run around like crazy but this season has been different. My friends always are asking me if im ok cause im not hustling and running like they know I could and its all because im scared there is a problem with my heart that has not been found. It effects my daily life and the things I enjoy to do and now my friends are starting to notice. So I am curious if anyone else feels these symptoms or if I have something to be worried about. I go back to the Cardiologist this Thursday for the 21 day event monitor results so maybe he can shed some light on my symptoms. Thanks and hope to get some input on my situation.
