I'm sorry to ask this question yet again but I am convinced by heart will stop in my sleep. My heart rate can go as low as 40 during the day and when I'm sleeping I know it can go as low as 33. The Doctors say I'm fine. I have undergone the following heart tests:
24 hour Holter Monitor
Stress Test
2 Echocardiograms
7 EKG's
Several Physicals
Yet I cannot get over the fact that it is possible that one night I will go to sleep and not wake up. I have heard that there is such a thing as sudden cardiac death syndrome and sudden nocturnal death syndrome. My Doctor says my heart is just slow, but he wants to see me again in a couple months just to be sure. Why do I feel like I won't be around in a couple months? Why do I feel like I am the only one taking any stake in saving my life? I realize my odds of having either of these disorders is rare but I can't help but think that my time is running short. Oh yeah, I'm a 19 year old college student and all of these fears began when I entered the hospital with Pancreatitis and it was discovered that I have a slow heart rate.
I DON'T WANT A SLOW HEART RATE EVEN IF IT IS HEALTHY!! haha
God bless all of you and I hope no one else has to go through this, although I'm fairly sure that many of you do
Your words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated. I want to graduate college, get married, have kids, but I am worried that I am gonna die in my sleep or ruin my life worrying about dying in my sleep. I also have no family history of heart problems
