Hi I've posted a few times last week leading up to my holiday abroad because I'm so anxious about my health. First it was because I was scared I was going to get an infection because I've got a dodgey wisdom tooth...
While we have been away (5 days so far) my eldest daughter and my husband have both had a stomach bug. As you can imagine it's left me in tatters due to my anxiety. It's compounded by the fact that we have a 9 month old baby and I've been terrified about her getting it.
Yesterday I was feeling stressed and I felt a bit wheezy and tight chested and felt like it was an effort to breathe. I thought it was maybe my anxiety but then I started panicking that it was because I'd got a blood clot on my lung.
I woke up very early this morning as I heard my baby cough and and I immediately started panicking she was getting ill. I tried to go back to sleep but then felt my heart skip (I get ectopics) so I instinctively put my fingers to my pulse and it felt fast - too fast for someone who has been lying down and I immediately started panicking I've got a blood clot and that's why it's fast. I've no risk factors but have been on a 4 hour plane journey but I wasn't sat still the whole time.
I'm just freaking out a bit and want a bit of support. It's been pretty stressful for me since we arrived with my daughter and husband being sick and I had a little alcohol ast night which I'm not used to and I know I've probably not drank enough water as I've got a headache.
Is this just my anxiety?
Thanks
