Hi all,
Well... I'm new to the forum and new to whatever is going on with myself at the moment. I can say I'm very scared.
I had mild depression when I was an teenager causing problems for about 3-4 years but nothing like what I'm going through at the minute 10 years later.
It started about a 4-5 weeks ago when my hayfever started, found my breathing was just a bit harder not much. Then around 2 1/2 weeks ago out of the blue, bang, had breathing difficulty and major heart palpitations. Doctors prescribed me inhalers and that sorted my breathing but my palpitations, chest pain arm numbness really got me. Everytime I sit back or lie down it was off fluttering/skip beat. Got sent to a&e, ECG fine but they want a 24h- no referrals at the minute with what's going on apparently so I have to wait.
In the meantime, I now get heart palpitations throughout the day and night sitting standing or lying down but my doctor thinks my depression/anxiety has risen it's ugly head again but this time in force, and that she thinks I have ocd too.
So, as soon as the services are up and running I can get some tests done but this is kind of sending me mad, I literally get about 2-4 hours sleep per night for the last 2 weeks and it is really starting to crack me. Nights can get so lonely and long.
Have today just started sertraline tablets but told this could make my palpitations worse so that scares me abit.
Enough of my rambling, hi to everyone.
