Hi all, I joined this site as I need to know other people feel the same way as I do as I feel so alone.
It started last yr when the doc gave me some different tablets for my IBS. The dose he gave me was too strong & nearly made me pass out & resulted in a trip to A&E. The week before that my Grandad had died so i had a panic attack at the same time. Since then, I must have ended up on A&E so many times thinking I had a problem with my heart (I have a heart condition) but I am so convinced I am just going to keel over & die & no one will be there to help me. Everytime I ended up on A&E my ECG's always came back as normal & as I have to go for heart checking every 6 mths anyway everything is always ok.
I started seeing a therepist, she was so helpful & in about Oct 2007 I stopped seeing her as I was so much better & felt so well again. But now I seam to be having a relaspe & am getting panic attacks again. I feel like my boyfriend doesn't understand me & my family too & keep thinking that if something was actually wrong with my heart, they wouldn't call for help as they would just think I am having another panic attack. I just keep thinking my heart is going to stop & I am going to just collapse & thats going to be it & I am so scared of it happening. I feel dizzy & lightheaded all the time & shaky & I am constantley checking my pulse.
I don't want to feel this way. :weep:
