Hi everyone,
How do you 'KNOW' that when your heart does something odd, that its anxiety???
Everyone tells me, oh its just anxiety!! Well it doesnt feel like anxiety, and actually I can be quite calm and happy when the horrible heart palpy/flutter/boom things happen......I dont get it!!
I had an ECG recently - Fine, I had a holter and echo 3yrs ago - Fine, Bloods - Fine............Yet, here I am absolutly terrified living a second rate life because im too scared to do anything, in fear of my heart giving out.
Im a mum of 2 very young girls who are absolutely beautiful, and yet a huge stress to me!
I get flutters, tickles, big bangs, achey pain, and shooting pains, and im constantly checking my pulse......that another stress, my pulse when anxious goes lower! Whats that all about??
I am on meds for GAD, I take Pregabalin 200 mg Twice a day & Prozac 20mg Once a day.......Im 33, and work in the NHS.
Please give me some advice, or some words of wisdom
