Hi everyone I'm so glad I've found this site....
In short I've suffered with anxiety for meny years and mostly have it under control with medication. I've suffered with heart palpitations in the past which my doctor put down to anxiety, eventually they went, however last week I noticed them back again and I actually took notice this time so began the worry. For two days they came regularly mostly when I was sitting thinking, by palpitations I mean the feeling my hearts skipped a beat or does a hard beat, I saw the doctor who said he thought it was anxiety but to be sure lets do a 24 hr ecg and blood tests. Its taken a week to get the ecg and I only had one spell of palpitations after drinking too much wine. Today is the day and so far I've had it on 9.5 hours. All day I've been on edge waiting for something to happen, nothing untill half an hour ago. My heart did a thud luckily I managed to look at the monitor in time and it read as high beat on the screen. Since then I've had about 5 other attacks. Im desperate to take the monitor off but my husband says I shouldn't.
Im absolutely petrified I have a heart problem and I'm going to die!
Anyone else ever experienced this?
Thanks for reading x
