hi all,
i have been off work for about 3 weeks now, my anxiety has returned after 18 months free, fortunatly i know the signs now but i have been having palpatations and eptopics, i have been to the docs and i have had blood tests and they have all come back clear, but the doctor has said he wants me to go for an ECG, well i nearly passed out when he said that to me, this is my fear as i am terrified of anything heart related as my partner suffered two heart attacks 4 years ago at the age of 40, so i have a big fear of hospitals ecg's anything heart related, well anything health related.
the docs phoned me today with my appointment and i am going on thursday and i really feel like not going and cancelling, all these negative thoughts keep going through my mind and i am sick of it.
I am so stressed at the moment, i feel so tense and i dont need this also to add to my stresses. i feel like i am so stressed at the moment i am going to keel over and die as i feel i have damaged myself too much with all this anxiety over the years and i am worrying myself senseless over how much the body can take.
sorry to go on but i feel totally out of it at the moment and just need some support
thanks for listening
