I'm really not sure how to describe this, but it honestly sounds like a heart attack to me, so I need to vent it! This morning I woke up with a numb, weak left arm which I had the night before too. I tried to shrug it off even though I knew it was a potential h.a. symptom, so in the back of my mind I was pretty scared.
I decided to go shopping with my mum to help divert my mind. On the way, the left side of my chest started to throb and the numbness/tingling radiated to my chest and neck. My arm was getting really cold... As I got out of the car, I told my mum to stop and I found myself with a HUGE rush in my chest, like all my blood dropped into my chest at once. It felt like the largest palpatation I ever had, and it made my heart race for a whole minute afterwards. It may have only lasted 5 seconds, but I'm utterly convinced something happened to my heart, especially since I still have a numb arm and fatigue, and that these symptoms mostly happen when I move. I even have pins and needles radiating into my head and left leg sometimes!
I've felt better with my friend today, but the last time this happened was just 2 days ago in the middle of work. I have work tomorrow too! What if they're real heart attacks which are becoming more frequent?! My family doesn't believe my symptoms, so I can't get checked out until my upcoming echo test; I have no idea when that'll be though..! :scared15::scared15::scared15::scared15:
