Hi all,
Not posted for a while as I've been doing ok.......
My latest set back came just over a week ago. After dropping my wife off at the airport I went to do some shopping. Whilst walking back to the car I got a sharp pain across my chest that felt like a stitch. Lasted a few seconds. I instantly thought it was my heart again.
Over the next few days I suffered chest pains, sweating, pins and needles etc.
On the Monday night I woke up with pins and needles down both arms and a dull ache at the bottom of my rib cage. All I could think about was if I died I'd be lying there for days before my wife came home and found me!!!
I tried to calm myself but nothing worked and I felt awful. I ended up dialling 111. After speaking to the lady she made me an out of hours appointment. An hour later I was sat with a doctor. All my vitals were ok, except elevated blood pressure and blood sugars. She said it was excess gas as I had a lot of gas in my tummy. I left feeling like a right pratt!!!
Last night I woke up again. Soaked in sweat, pins and needles and some minor chest pains. I did some breathing and calmed myself down enough to nod off. Got up this morning and still have some chest pain/stitch like feelings that come and go.
I am considering going back on meds. I've been off them for 18 months and been doing well. I'm now convinced I have a heart issue. Note - I had an ECG 2 months ago as part of a general health check and it came back ok.
Anyone had similar episodes?
Thanks for taking the time to read
