Very bad day anxiety wise!
I went back to work yesterday after a 2 week break due to multiple panic attacks a day. I made it through the day yesterday with only two hiccups and made it mostly through the day today until 30minutes before I was due to leave I had abit of a wobble and boom health anxiety kicks in
I have such a bad habit of checking my pulse all the time and if I can’t feel it/can’t find it straight away I jump into massive panic mode it’s been two hours now and I’m still doing it even though every time I do it I tell myself off as I know I shouldn’t be!
Problem being this week, I’ve woke up every morning trembling and weak and I’ve felt so short of breath like I’m not taking enough air in! I found the symptom on the articles on here so I know it’s anxiety related I just can’t help my mind going into overdrive! I’ve had all the test ECGs, bloods, CT chest with contrast, echo and everything came back normal apart from one ECG show slight non specific t wave abnormality but I was in the midst of a 3 hour panic attack when this one was done so I was advised non specific changes are normal when your hearts been pumping that fast for that long and it wasn’t concerning at all, all others perfect yet I’m still convinced I have some sort of heart problem!
I cannot wait for my CBT to start although it looks like I’m in for a long wait! I have started reading the course on here but I’m much more of a some tell me rather than reading it person but I’m trying!
Just posting to get this off my chest and hear others story’s with regards to heart related health anxiety
