Hello all.
As I'm new to the group I thought I should let you know a bit about me and the things that have led me to be the way I am so bare with me! Lol ...
I am a 29 year old female. When I was 20 I went to my local out of hours doctors as I was feeling under the weather. Expecting to be sent away with instructions to rest and to take paracetamol, I was thrown into a state of shock when I was rushed to the local hospital and hooked up to all kinds of heart monitors in the resuscitation room. It turned out that my heart was racing in the 180's and they didn't know why. They injected a drug several times to stop and start my heart but when that didn't work I was given beta blockers and put on the cardiac ward. It turned out that I had a bad chest infection and that my heart rhythm was normal but I had a fast heart rate. My resting rate is about 120 these days.
As a result of all of this I basically had a break down. Panic attacks, convinced I'm dying etc. I still take my heart rate about 30 times a day :-/
I just feel so alone! I'm bored of panic, I'm bored of being convinced I'm going to die. Can anyone relate??!! Sorry for the actual essay! Lol
