Hi everyone,
I haven't posted for a while as I was coping ok with my health anxiety. However, since finding out I am pregnant 21 weeks ago the anxiety is back with a vengeance.
I am taking Seroxat 20mg daily (following advice from a pre-pregnancy consultant where she agreed the benefits outweighed the risks) but they don't seem to be making any difference anymore. I wonder whether the pregnancy hormones are battling with the seroxat and the hormones are winning.
Anyway as I constantly google illnesses it appears that pregnant women are more likely to have heart attacks which has frightened me. I worry about my heart all the time and have spent a fortune on tests with a private cardiologist which all came back fine. The biggest worry is spontaneous coronary artery dissection which whilst rare is seen more in fit healthy women and more often in pregnant women.
Is it normal to worry like this during pregnancy????
Any thoughts much appreciated
Thanks Spike
