I feel like I have been stuck in a hole and can't get out... I have been I the hospital at least 5 times in the last month and in the past week it just has declined. I go to the er with an incredibly uncomfortable pulse rate of 140 and Chet tightness thinking I'm having a heart attack or something. They do the regular tests to rule out anything life threatening and send me on my way home. It is so frustrating because the symptoms are so real and feel horrible. I'm 22 female by the way. I just feel like all this is gettin in the way of my life... My job my school and my relationships.. I met with a cardiologist and he did a holter (which I'm wearing now) and echocardiogram which came out good. I'll get the results of the holter next week. It's just hard to believe anxiety can cause all these symptoms... I wanna rule out the other stuff first but that's what they keep tellin me oh... It's probably just anxiety. The only thing that has helped is propranolol and Ativan ...I feel calm and my heart isn't constantly feeling like it's going to pop out of my chest. I have been woken up in the middle of the night with panic attacks like literally I'll be sound asleep and ill jolt up and my pulse will b like 130 it's so scary. I'm even scared to sleep now :( I feel like the propranolol and Ativan will help tho... This will b my first night on these meds. It's a relief to know I'm not alone ... Because no one seems to understand wat I'm going through. Hope you guys get a good rest tonight!
