Aa
hello again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hiya all hope your all doing well!!!! just a quick question......in all my medhelp friends opinion with me having this heart anxiety for so long if there was something seriously wrong do you think i would know by now ie would something serious have happened? (this time it hasn gone away i have had it for 18 months) im just trying to reason with my brain :-)
thanx a million it makes me feel better knowing others go through the same feelings (i dont mean that sadistic lol) i hope u feel better theres nothing worse as you say everyone being asleep while your in a state i often find myself sleepin on my sons floor as hes a lighter sleeper than my hubby and truly believe he would wake if anything happened to me sad eh? and hell yeah if i find a "brain cure" your the first i will tell haha
It sounds so classically anxiety related! The fact your doctor sees no reason for you to go to a cardio speaks volumes. He would have absolutely NO REASON to not send you if he felt there was ANYTHING going on besides your anxiety.
Chest pains, palps, breathlessness..........welcome to my world. The other night I had palps so bad I damn near took myself to the hospital. I usually have one or two and they stop, but this time they went on for much longer.........way over an hour and that had never happened before. I got myself so worked up, I began to have the chest pains and dizziness, couldn't breath right. It was really awful. But when I got myself calmed down enough to think about what I'd been going through the past week, it made sense to me and soon after that I felt better. The palps stopped, the panic subsided and I was able to finally fall asleep. All of this happened in the middle of the night, which makes it so much worse. I don't know about you, but even with my husband asleep upstairs, there's just something about wandering around in your very quiet house at 3 am that makes everything worse!
That you saw your therapist and for two days you felt so much better should tell you it IS that little creep that hides in our heads doing this to you! Getting them to shut up and go away is the trick. If you learn it before me, share, OK? I'll do the same!
From my heart to yours!
Peace (and quiet!)

oh sorry i forgot to say i do blame the little thing which is my brain as last wed my therapist did a home visit and i had hardly any if any symptoms thurs and fri, well no where near as bad as they have been
hiya jus the usual stuff chest pains palps breathless when i run upstairs im just worrying so much the anxiety is gettin worse im spending all my life in the doctors, he wont refer me to a cardiologist as he says im fine and to tell you the truth i cant afford to go private x
It's my humble and non-medical opinion, if something WAS seriously wrong with your heart, you would definitely know it by now! But......................(I HATE the "buts")
I don't want to scare you, but there are many things that can happen to our hearts that we have absolutely no idea are happening.........until they happen. That is a chilling thought and one that most of us with heart anxiety can relate to.
Which is why I urge you to see your cardiologist for an exam. And I don't care if he/she is getting a tad irritated with you.......if they are, find another! If you are having fears again, then get the reassurance you need and are certainly entitled to! You do not need to live with the constant fear and anxiety.
What, if any, symptoms are you having? Or is it, like me, that damn little person who lives in my head filling me with ideas?
Wishing you
Peace
