Hey Guys
Well this is a great website and I finally don't feel so alone :)
I have suffered with Health Anxiety/Panic attacks for some time now. However I have had a bit of a scare.
I have been having palpitations which last only a second or so quite regularly. Anyway I frightened myself and went into a major panic attack and ended up going to hospital as i thought I was dying :-(
So queue a month later, I mentioned to my GP that I was having palptiations and that my anxiety was back with a vengenance and she asked for me to have an ECG which I have had.
The results came back and there is a bit of an abnormality. And she mentioned that it could be Wolff Parkinson White Syndrome. I had no idea what it is. Anyway I googled it - what a huge mistake. The first thing that comes up is this sudden adult death syndrome. Well I have been ill ever since, panicking, thinking I am going to die anytime soon. But that is rare, and its quite treatable.
I have to go back to the doctors tonight for the results of what the cardiologist said, and I am so scared. I am a wreck have had some major panic attacks.
I have two beautiful children and a great partner the thought of me leaving them feels me with dread. I know this sounds really dramatic, but I am finding it so hard.
I don't know when to trust my body as I never know is it real pain/anxiety.
This is so so hard.....
:ohmy:
