Long time HA sufferer but usually can get a handle on it within a week or two of each flare up. Lately, been freaking out about the possibility of having a heart attack.
Saw a news report the other day about how having creases in your earlobes means you have heart disease. Well, guess who's got a nice crease in each each lobe...this guy! I'm convinced that I'll be having a heart attack any day now. Every twinge of pain in my chest or arm and I'm ready to pass out from anxiety!
Now for the past 2-3 days I've become obsessed with checking other people's lobes, both on TV and in person. If this anecdote is true, then there are a lot of people out there ready for a heart attack too. I'd say with my recent trip to the market that close to 50% of the guys I observed middle age and older had the creases. Didn't seem to have much to do with their physical shape as I saw guys who look like they work with them and people who were way overweight without them.
Just trying to make sense of the illogical. Thanks for the vent.
