So I've had this worry about my heart constantly for 3 years now.
It all started 3 years ago when I was misdiagnosed with a heart attack and was stuck on a cardiology ward for 5 days, the actual problem was gallstones, the main reason they put me there was due to t wave inversions on my ECG, an echo a few days later confirmed all was fine and it was just down to anxiety upon being brought into a hospital, since then I've had a constant fear of some heart related death, every ECG I've had has came back with inverted t waves but these just seems to be my normal, at the moment I'm suffering more with skipped heart beats which has automaticall scared me into thinking I have some form of long at syndrome or cardiomyopathy(enlarged heart).
I know no one on here can tell me everything is fine based on specific results as I've been cleared by 2 cardiologists in the past 3 years after numerous ECG tests, 1 echo, tilt table test, 24 hour ECG and all the bloods you can think of but for some reason I can't shake this massive fear of I've got something wrong with my heart because I've got the underlying t wave inversion.
I'm currently in to my 3rd session of CBT but it doesn't seem to be helping much
