Hi all,
I'm new around here but am a veteran when it comes to panic! I had my first panic attack at 23 and was never medicated apart from the occasional Xanax (when I'm feeling out of control)
A brief background, I lost my child at 38wks of pregnancy due to clotting in the placenta and this has sent me into a tailspin.
I'm here today to see if anyone has experienced Postpartum PVC's/PAC's (I don't know which I have or even if I have both) I started getting them at the end of my Pregnancy. I have had an EKG and an Ultrasound of my heart which came back all normal. My Cardiologist didn't feel like I needed a Holter Monitor as the other two tests were great. I was also diagnosed Heterozygous for Factor V Leiden (an inherited blood clotting disorder) So I'm at higher risk for Thrombosis during pregnancy and in general really and this has raised the anxiety levels even more!
Ever since this has all happened I have health anxiety galore and ended up in the ER 3 time already because:
1. I think my heart is going to fail me
2. I have a DVT (due to clotting disorder)
3. I am going to die of a Pulmonary Embolisim because of a DVT
Oh and the Panic attacks are back with a vengence. Can anyone advise or help? :shrug:
