Hi guys.
So I haven't posted on here for a while, I;ve been doing really well. Ive not googled or discussed anything medical , most of my pains went I started to live life, happy again. I'm even moving home which is a massive achievement for me, before I refused to look because I was going to die , what was the point?
I get my keys on friday and it should be a fresh start for us as a family. I've been happy but now my chest pains are coming back again. A bit of background for those who dont know I've had 4 ECGs in the summer as well as 2 bloods and 1 chest Xray whch came back clear.
My pains cleared for a while but now theyre back again. I've not been to the doctors for weeks (from going every other day) so I'm reluctant to start going again. Theyre usually central , although sometimes go from left to right. The top of chest and my breastbone at the bottom is tender to touch (A few months ago a doctor said I had costochondritis ).
Bascially, I'm paranoid I have blocked arteries. I had high cholesterol as a child, and to me now this means my arteries will be fully blocked now Im in my 20s. I read an article about a man dying aged 30 because he had high cholesterol since he was born. This has only compounded my fear.
My mother says I wasn't born with high cholesterol, but how would she know? It's not like I was tested then. she also says it takes more than 20 years to fully block arteries but I'm just not convinced.
I'm really annoyed my pains have returned now I'm starting to sort myself out. I'm scared I've killed myslf already with my stupid cholesterol. I feel like I have no time to turn it around bevause theyre already blocked and its just a matter of time. I can feel me going back to what I used to be, which is certianly what I dont want.
Argh :(
