hi, i dont really know where to start, ive always been a worrier, over the last 2 years my life has been ruled by anxiety and constant fear of dying, my biggest concern is when i get anxious/stressed out/ angry i get almost like stomach cramps and im constantly checking my heart rate,
earlier this year i was rushed into hospital by ambulance, they thought i was having a heart attack , my heart rate dropped to 40bpm, turns out it was because of medication drs put me on, ive been worse with anxiety since this happened.
i get a lot of aching in my left chest sort of radiates into my shoulder/ arm, ive had loads of tests, ct, mri, dopler of arteries in neck, loads of blood tests, urine tests ,ecg, 7 day ecg, running machine test, BUT IT ALL COMES BACK OK.
but why do i get these pains, why do i think im going to die, im 29 yrs old with 2 young children, surely i shouldnt be waking up every morning thinking " bloody hell im still alive"
lately ive been that worried in evenings about being ill/dieing. that i take myself to bed as i dont worry when im asleep... or i lay in bed reading posts on here to calm my self,
i look in the mirror and dont recognise my self, i honestly think if it wasnt for my 2 kids i'd have done something to myself by now,
i cant be the only one but i feel so lonely, my mrs just fobs me off every day, she's not interested in listening any more
sorry to drag on...any help/advice will be greatly recieved, i have sought help from drs and was at cbt ( i found it didnt help) but ive decided to try again
i go back next week.
cheers matt
