I'm having a bad time!!! Anyone here??

[kimmiepie]

I am having a super bad night. :( I started with the dull chest pains coming and going, then an irregulat heartbeat. I was on the computer and all of a sudden I felt disoriented and panicked. I had trouble getting a breath and had to get up and walk around the house. I was scared to pass out. My husband works nights and things are always worse at night. I'm in tears because I'm so sick of this. I'm convinced I have heart disease because of the irregular beat with the pains and I'm going to die when there is no one here to help me. I am so sick of this!! I'm still dizzy and my throat is tight. I just need someone to talk to. *tears*

hey kimmy,

im here!
that was my night last night!!!
i had some rescue remedy and jumped in the shower, slumped half out of it sitting on the ground of it, and just cried for a while...then i lied down in front of the tv..and played some internet backgammon on the laptop....
i hope you feel better soon, well, im sure you will in the morning...remember, the pannicky feeling is just your mind playing tricks....try to ignore, take deep breaths..

Thank you. I am feeling better now. Thankfully my mother called, and even though she is no supportive or understanding I didn't even talk to her about it. It just helped to have someone to talk to.

Hubby is home now, so I feel even better although I still get the occasional chest twinge.

*sigh* It's really sad that we have to live this way isn't it? Sorry you had a bad time of it last night.

Kimmie you so sound like me!

I'm a 27 year old male and because of the pains I get really scared.

I too now hate the thoughts of the evenings and tend to get a tight throat at night (globus) so i'm told.

I'm also scared when no one is around !

I don't get out of breath, but do get the pains.

Always remember though the 999 services are only a few minutes away.

I know we can beat this in time. The doctors know what they are doing and if we have had the all clear, we are safer than a lot of people. I'm due back at the GP next week and think they will put me on anxiety or antidepressants, I hope they help! I will also ask for further tests, but am 99% sure i don't need them.

thoughts with you xxxxx

aww sounds like a tough time! i got those kind of symptoms when i got a panick attack...the dizziness is horrible cause you really cant control that it feels like, and i always hated throat tightness because i was scared it was gonna just close up...remember though if you can talk and stuff you can breath, fact, i try humming or singing a little or something sometimes cause then i know i am still able to breath and it takes your mind off the tightness.
