Re: ECG RESULTS - DONT PANIC!!
Hi,
I suffer from anxiety and major panic attacks. I was taking medication for way longer than the reccommended time. This was because i moved abroad and was able to purchase over the counter (this medicine was fluoxotine).
I have also just been diagnosed with high blood bressure, Im only 21 years old! Of course this led to more panic attacks. I have since had heart monitor tests, blood tests, ultra sounds, scans etc.
All of course coming back clear (i also only have 1 kidney, which is in perfect condition).
Just recently i had notcied a 'fluttering' in my chest, followed by a 'thumping' and 'shots of pain' also in my chest. I put it to the back of my mind telling myself i was being paranoid, but after a few days of this i finally gave in and thought i MUST get it checked out.
When i got to the hospital the feelings got worse, still i tried to ignore them but at the same time feeling this pains/thumps/flutters more and more.
Eventually i had an ECG, everything was fine, no problems, the ECG results were 'NORMAL'. The doctors then told me it must be psychology.
Amazingly enough, it all stopped !!
No more flutters.
No more thumping.
No more pains.
No more pulpatations.
Everything was ok, 'NORMAL'. Everyone is different, which of course means everyones 'NORMAL' is different!
I suppose i just had to be told officially there was nothing wrong, and now i had it on paper.
I am slowly over coming these panic attacks and anxiety, its not easy though.
BUT PLZ TRUST ME WHEN I SAY, IF THE DOCTORS TELL YOU ITS OK AND YOUR 'NORMAL', THIS MEANS IT IS ALL OK. WELL MY HEART IS FINE.
UNFORTUANTLY, IN MY CASE, I NEED MY HEAD SORTING OUT NOW!! LOL.
Anyway, i hope my experience will help you Laura, and others!!
:D
