Hey everyone
Just after a shoulder to cry on...I'm 32 and have been suffering from heart palpitations since I was 27. Medically I am fit and have been given a clean bill of health from several cardiologists. I have what they class as normal variants (innocent low grade murmur, benign ectopic beats and sometimes the odd run of fast irregular heartbeats) but every now and then I get a bad episode of palpitations and I convince myself that I am having a heart attack..
I lost my father last year to a sudden stroke at the age if 63..he was very much like me, very fit active and hardworking. I miss him dreadfully. Since then I convince myself that any pain/palpitation/random health issue is terminal and I am going to die suddenly like him from a stroke or heart attack...if he was here now he'd tell me if it was my time it's my time and there's nothing I can do about it and to stop being silly but I can't.
I feel like doctors don't understand and they could easily miss an underlying health problem..
My health worries have got worse since I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy 3 months ago and had a rough labour, with that I had to have an emergency blood transfusion and this left my shaken up and anaemic..does anyone have any similar feelings, what helps you got over them.:)
