I am sorry to post about this again but I need some advice.
My anxiety the last week has been abit better, lots of + thinking and all that:winks: but I am still a tad worried about the palpatations I am having and I would like some advice/reassurance about them again.
I have suffered HA for about 10 yrs now, I rarely suffer from panic attacks but I do have a stressful life, HA to contend with and 3 young children all under 7yrs, its alot:winks:
I haven't really suffered with palpatations before now other than when I was pregnant. I started about 4 weeks ago when I was coming home from my holiday, I had about 30 of them when we were stuck in the airport for 6 hours with the kids, I hate flying and was incredibly anxious at the time.
Ever since then they have not gone then 2 weeks ago I fainted when I stood up in work, saw GP told her about the palps and she said they were bound to be stress related, she listened into my heart/pulse and said all was normal, 80BPM and my BP was 100/60 which she said was low and explained why I went black on standing. She did a blood test to rule out thyroid probs though but that was all normal.
She said if the thyroid came back ok then not to worry about the palpatations or the dizziness.
I am feeling fine now but I am still getting the palps esp at night, I have had about 5 in the last hours since the kids went to bed and I am relaxing.
Should I not be worried? the GP listened to my heart, said all was normal and bloods were fine. I had a whole load of bloods done in May and thyroid 2 weeks ago so surely I am ok but I keep worrying what if palps are linked to something nasty and the GP has missed it but I asked if I needed an ECG or anything else and she said no.
