Hi all, I havent been on here a while, Ive been doing 'ok' for the past 4 weeks and am trying to get back to work etc and am also seeing a lead consultant psychologist who will start EMDR with me in the next couple of weeks.
However, on Sunday i started with a bad cold. My nose and chest and throat hurt a lot and my ears felt blocked. On Monday night i was just watching tv (feeling sorry for myself) when i noticed a lot of palpitations all at once. I had a camomile tea to try and calm down (but i wasnt particularly panicked anyway). I went to bed and was lying there when out of the blue my back, under my right shoulder blade came a load of REALLY bad stabby shooting pains in my back towards my chest. I literally thought i was having a heart attack. I couldnt move or talk or take deep breaths. It passed after a couple of mins and then came back again. Then it went and i started getting worried that what with the palps earlier and now pain i was dying.
Since then i have been REALLY dizzy and been getting palps daily, quite a few times. I dont particularly feel dizzy with the palps - the dizziness seems to be there a lot of the time. Im over the worst of the cold, but my ears do ache a bit and feel a bit 'heavy' inside. I was at my psychologist yesterday and told her how i felt and she said it was anxiety, but why would this come from nowhere? Ive been doing well! Ive had ecgs in the past but not while ive had an actual palpitations. The ecgs have been 'normal' but with fast heart rate. Ive been waking up feeling sick also. I keep seeing that palps with dizziness and nausea is a sign of a heart attac. Am so scared. :unsure:
Am phoning to see if i can see DR today. I really am so worried that Im having some sort of heart problem.
Please any advice would be so helpful.
