Hi, As I mentioned a couple days ago on here I've had this horrible exhaustion, breathless feeling and palps the last week or so. I did have heart tests last year (including echo, ECG and treadmill ECG), I apparently had an 'abnormal ECG' hence all the tests but the cardiologist said there was nothing significant found.
I know this should be a comfort to me, but you know how it is when symptoms seem to take over. I'm wondering if the 5 hour train journey I did had to do with setting me back physically (haven't done a journey like that in YEARS) and I was already getting twitches in my body when back home.
What is concerning me most now is the fatigue, my chest, shoulders, back of shoulders, arms, and sometimes legs feel fatigue much of the time the last few days. I'm getting fast/hard heartbeat through tiny things, i.e climbing onto a bunk bed, I also have a feeling as if my chest is "about" to skip a beat but not actually doing it -especially if I exert too much. I'm only taking tiny walks for exercise as I really feel I can't handle much else. I also feel a kind of congested/heavy feeling when I breathe in deep. I take a nap every afternoon but feel just as heavy when I wake. I also feel as if I need more oxygen in my body.
Do people think these symptoms I've described really could all be surmounted anxiety??
I obviously can't go to the docs as I'm away from home, I guess being away makes me more nervous too :unsure:
Thank you in advance!
