Not doing well

[ryangreen]

This morning has been a rough one.

I woke up in a panic this morning my heart is racing, my hands and feet are sweating like crazy and the impending doom feeling is really intense. I am scared that if I leave the house to go to work I am going to drop dead and never see my wife again.

All my heart fears and doubts are running through my mind: is an ekg and holter enough?
Should I demand an echo?
Do I have heart failure?

Someone once told me replace the what if with so what well I'm sorry but I can't say so what to dying I don't want to die

why would you drop dead ?

If I had a pound for each time I have felt like that over the years I would be able to go to Paris for a long weekend in a fancy hotel! :D:D

Heart attack
Cardiac arrest

Those are the two that terrify me currently

Your use of the word currently says it all. We just seem to move from one worry to another. I spent weeks recently convincing myself that my heart my explode as I had a pain in my chest. Deep down I knew that it was just a pulled muscle from lifting too many weights but my mind decided that it was not extreme enough and took it to the max :)
