Just can't believe it.
Have been feeling great for a month and excellent today - was lying on sofa watching The Chase and got up quickly in ad break to put supper on. i suddenly felt really lightheaded and dropped to my knees in the kitchen. I didn't pass out but my panic switch is now on and I can't switch it off. Logically I know I got up too quickly but now I have diagnosed myself with heart failure as I still feel a bit dizzy.
I know from experience that I get lightheaded when anxious but can't seem to talk myself round. I also had a very busy weekend babysitting 3 grandchildren including staying overnight with little sleep so probably tired too. To add to this I am also in menopause and fluctuating hormone levels pay havac everyday.
I feel a bit better for writing this down and 2 hrs on I'm still alive so I guess it s just my old friend panic paying a visit - I hope it won't stay too long.
