Hi,
For the past few months, not regularly, I have experienced episodes of rapid heart beat, particularly after I have eaten, it always seems to be at the weekend. Yesterday I had made lunch, a chicken sandwich to be precise. I had not eaten anything prior to this and around half an hour later my heart started thumping. I carried on and then had an episode where I felt really unwell, absolutely terrified me, I had sweats, lightheaded and thought I was going to faint with typical ringing in my ears (I'm used to fainting) to the point I went for a lie down. I lay on my bed and was sweating and my heart was absolutely pounding. This as you can imagine terrified me I was thinking I was having a heart attack.
About 10-15 minutes later I felt ok, to the point that I carried on my day doing chores etc. The thing is I can't stop thinking about it and paniking, should I be worried?? every ache in my arms or if I feeling warm etc I'm think that's it. A couple of months ago I went to my Doctor who referred me for an ECG which came back normal. I have made a Doctors appointment which is on Wednesday but as everyone knows from suffering with Health Anxiety, I am now plagued with fear, doom and anxiety. Can anyone reassure me that this could be nothing?? I'm not scared, I don't want to die.
I had been drinking on the night before and had had hot drinks (tea) etc in the morning. I am under huge pressure with my children, work and relationship, money worries, I'm overweight also :weep: so everything is against me.:weep:
