I have never contacted a forum before. Am hoping to find some like minded people.
Yesterday I thought I was having a heart attack so I called 999 for the first time in my life. I was home with my hubbie and children and I have never been so petrified.
Luckily there is nothing wrong with my heart. I know I was more scared cos my dad died of a heart attack at age 44 and I am now 42.
However I have been suffering with dizzy spells since before Xmas as well as terrible tummy pain ( doc says its bowel spasm).
2 years ago I experienced exactly the same thing but put it down to a stressful house move.
This time I know it's caused by the loss of 2 close family members last year. I am sick of losing people to be honest. I was an orphan by the age of 29. I'm not looking for pity. I am looking for strategies that may help me - breathing/thought patterns. I never understood a panic attack until I actually had one. Boy are they scary.
I would welcome your experiences/thoughts.
Thank you
