ectopics going crazy - help

[dollyb]

Please help, can anyone calm me down. I have had these for about a year, only a few every now and then. today im having so many, about 30 so far, they just seem to keep coming and im convinced im going to die, not far off calling an ambulance, ive never had them like this before. it feels like i cant breathe, or if im not breathing enough they happen more. does anyone else get them like this. Sometimes i think if i have a blocked nose and do not breathe enough they happen - please help im really scared

thankyou

hi dolly
dont be scared. i have had ectopics for two years now. they happend after my mother passed away.somedays i can get a few and other days i can have them for hours at a time. i know they are very scarey but they are harmless and they wont hurt you. when i first got them i thought my days were numbered. but the doc sayed they were all down to anxiety. try to keep your self busy and distracted and try not to panic about them. if you want pm me when every you feel like it
love debera x x :hugs: :hugs: :hugs:

Hi Dolly

I know how you feel, I have had them know for about 18 months and it freaks me out every single time. Sometimes I would get them everyday for a couple of weeks and then sometimes they would go away for weeks. I didn't even know what they were until I read about them on this site, and it looks as though they are quite common which has made me feel heaps better. My wife and my Dad said that they get them now and then but it doesn't bother them at all, so I reckon it's that we are so attuned to our bodies that we feel every little twinge and niggle which then increases anxiety levels and I sometimes feel that I just sit there waiting for it to happen which drives me crazy. As every one else has said try to keep yourself distracted and they should go away.
Good Luck
Greg
