Just a quick hello to everyone here,
My name is Mark and I am 35.
For the past few years I have been convinced I am about to die!! I get regular episodes of palpitations and often end up at the doctors or the local hospital. I have had 2 ECG'S the first showed sinus tachycardia ad the most recent also showed the sinus tachycardia but also a slightly long P wave??
I am convinced the doctors have missed something as they say that with my hypertension the ecg is nothing to worry about. I worry for my wife and kids if something happened to me.
I think I may have identified what started all this off. I think it was when I was on Beta Blockers for hypertension, one day they slowed my heart down to below 20bpm I felt really ill and drove to a+e where I was rushed to the resuscitation room untill it got better. A few years ago my elderly grandfather was taken ill and rushed to the exact same bedspace I was in, unfortunatley he did not make it. I think it has left an imprint on my brain somewhere and I am convinced I will die.
My wife has to put up with my episodes as do my young children and I am sure it cant be good for them.
Having read through this site I seem to identify with much of whats being said on here. I regularly search my symptoms on the internet and most times it comes up with panic/anxiety although last week it said I could be pegnant!!!:D.
Anyway enough of my waffle.
