aortic aneurysm fear!!

[pablo22]

have a sudden fear i have this :( anyone else the same?

[nomorepanic]

Why have you suddenly developed this fear?

[Carys]

I don't even know what it is, and I'm not going to look it up, cos we all know where that leads......:winks:

[pablo22]

its gonna sound stupid, but i read it somewhere and i thought that i could have it... considering the high blood pressure id have from panic attacks + being highly anxious alot of the time :(

[nomorepanic]

As I understand it you would not be alive very long if you did have it as it kills you pretty quickly.

So nope you don't have one

[pablo22]

i suppose.. i don't really know how this fear developed! ahhhhhhhhh

[nomorepanic]

No don't just think "I suppose", change those thoughts to "nope I don't have one" and I am fine

[pablo22]

its bizarre that im even worrying about this, i went for a walk last nyt and cleared my head felt alot better! still have a niggling fear (as with so many other things) :s

If you had an aortic aneurysm believe me you wouldn't be here now, my mother in law died of this and its basically an instant killer so don't think you have anything to worry about xx

[pablo22]

im sorry to hear! :( but surely it would have been there before it ruptured no?? x

[nicola1980]

apparrantly there are warning signs such as severly bloated stomach but basically it just ruptures and thats it, its only really seen in elderly people also, please don't worry about it xx

[pablo22]

thanks ! ye this one really came out of no where!! and i always have a bloated stomach anyway from anxiety! xx
