I've been getting skipped beats all day everyday for a week now.
Spent yesterday in A&E and had two ECG's, chest x-ray, bloods, urine sample and everything checked.
The A&E doc told me to go back to my own Gp to get a referral to a cardiologist so I went today to see her.
She listened to my heart and told me she could hear a murmur!!! I don't undetstand why the A&E doc didn't tell me this!!
My own doc checked my Blood pressure and said it was high but A&E yesterday told me it was fine!
My doc is sending me for an echocardiogram and to see a cardiologist but now i'm absolutely terrified that i'm going to die.
She told me to go straight back to the hospital if anything changes and 'not to take any chances'
I said to her that because of my anxiety symtoms, i struggle to know when to ignore it and put it down to anxiety, or to take it seriously and she told me that i should just go if i'm worried because she'd rather it turn out to be anxiety than it to be something serious and i ignore it!
I know that lots of people have heart irregularities and murmurs and things like that but mine has come out of the blue so that's why im absolutely freaking out and the wait to see someone is going to make it all so much worse!
I don't know what to do :weep:
