Hi everyone,
Last few days my health anxiety has come back mainly over my heart and I can't seem to shake it off.
It started because a few mornings ago about 10 minutes after I was up, my heart starting beating really fast and I could feel it in my ears, I tried slowing my breathing down and to relax but it wouldn't settle, lasted about 10 minutes and then it all went silent, couldn't hear or feel my heart, which funnily enough have me more anxiety (it can't win)
This started me thinking about my heart and it's been downhill from there. I was told I had 'Sinus Arrhythmia' in A&E one time, and even though they said it's normal I've never been able to let it go, I don't really know what it is I was only on the ECG for a few minutes.
Can anyone re assure me, tell me what this sinus arrhythmia means, or relate to the heart beating really fast for a period of time like that?
I wish I could be hypnotised to get over my heart fears, if I hear a heart beat on the tele or anyone talks about a heart I get really bad panic.
Thanks in advance
