Hi,
New to site but have been reading it for a few days now mostly to reassure myself that my symptoms could be anxiety related!
Suffering bad health anxiety (I hope; if not then possibly seriously ill!) all about my heart / breathing. Like many on here been to A&E few times, ecg & bloods normal but as I am now over 40, a smoker & have family history of heart / vascular problems Dr's have sent me for further tests. This of course has made me more anxious!
Had chest pain clinic appointment did stress test & more ecg which were fine & nurse said they didn't think my pains/ palpitations were cardiac related. This reassured me for a few days but they want to do a ct angiogram to be sure & my GP said they wouldn't do that if they didn't suspect something so obviously sent my anxiety levels high again!
Feeling silly, scared, frustrated & struggling to get through. Angiogram will be at least another month & I even phoned bupa to see if could do it quicker privately but obviously way too expensive.
Any help much appreciated!
