Hey people,
Haven't been on here for so long, and I think mainly lockdown hasn’t helped with my health anxiety. Long story short I’ve had heart anxiety for around 13 years, around 10 years ago I had every single test going and everything was fine. What I’m worried about is in that 10 years there’s a chance my heart has suffered more damage. I’ve drank a lot over them 10 years and unfortunately due to being young and naive have taken some Drugs.
I’m 32 years old now and really want to get back playing football but I’m so scared I’ll collapse on the pitch due to heart issues relating to mistreating my body. I no longer take anything other then a few beers now and again and I drink more water than anything, I’ve changed my lifestyle and go on 5k walks everyday and eat healthy. I also dropped people who was bad for me out my life! I would love to have all the heart tests again but I’m sure my dr would just laugh at me.
I don’t need to know what I’ve done wrong as past is past and it’s firmly staying there I guess I’m just after some advice going forward, I still suffer with palpitations, bad anxiety days etc but I do work full time as a sales manager, live alone and have a good life. It doesn’t help when another pro footballer who was playing for 13 years just found out he has ARVC because he collapsed at football now he has to retire at 28 years old! Just scary!
any help appreciated!
Thank you 😊
