Hi i'm new to this website

[saradey]

Hi all my name is Sara I really don’t know where to start it started after I had my first child a year ago I started to have really bad palpitations I went to my doctor and was told they where normal but the more I thought about it got worse I had a cardiac tape fitted and that was fine I’ve had loads of ECG’s and chest x-rays and blood tests now I am finding as soon as I wake up I think I’m going to have a heart attack I get chest pains and pins and needles down my arm and it feels like I’m going to pass out I’m also having trouble sleeping now the doctor has put me on tablets but I feel they are not working for me I have asked if I can see some one for cbt but he thinks I can beat it on my own and this has been going on for ages and I really feel like I’m losing my mind or I’m going to die has any one got any ideas I feel so down but other days I feel on top of the world look forward to your reply’s

Hi Sara
you are really not alone in the way you feel hon. I too had pins and needles (down my left arm/hand) was convinced i was going to have heart attack. I didn't and that was a year ago :)
Let me tell you, that
A) your are not going to die..
B) you are NOT losing your mind.
Whilst it is true that some people can beat anxiety/panic/depression etc on their own, for others, help is needed and if you want to have counselling in any way, shape or form then keep telling your doctor, ask for another doctor or go private.
Again, if the pills you are taking are not helping or are making you feel worse then please insist you try something else!
Sometimes it takes a while to find what best suits you.

This site is wonderful and I'm sure you'll find some reassurance from here like i have.

hugs
em xx-xx

Hi Sara
I thought I was going mad until I stumbled across this site. I now know that I'm not going mad. I also managed to seek advice from my GP thanks to the encouragement of people on this site. I am now on meds and starting to live again.
