Hi,
As a new member, I want to post whats been happening to me on here and see what anyone thinks.
I worry. I worry a lot. Mainly abouy health. I have never been 'really' or 'seriously' ill, but I have a great fear about becoming so.
About three months ago, I had a pretty stressfull time at work and started to get heart palp's and tingling sensations in my hand. Needless to say I completely freaked and started to panic........which, in turn, seemed to aggravate the situation. I ended up going to see the doctor who scheduled an ECG. If I wasnt worried before, I was when the doctor said that. Anyway, before I had chance to get to the appointment for the ECG, I ended up having another palpatation/panic attack and went to the hospital as I was almost out of my mind with fear.
To cut a long story short, it seems that I have an irregular heart beat, but both the doctor and the hospital said my heart is fine, its a common issue and that I really dont need to worry. Phew:)
BUT....I have had an upset stomach for about a week and a half. For some reason, I have got it into my mind that it might be something sinister (stomach bugs dont normally last that long do they??). I have been back to the doctor and they have prescribed some anti-biotics as she thought it might be a bug I picked up while on holiday. I'm hoping thats the case but I just cant seem to shake this worry off. I wish I could just stop worrying and get back to living my life normally....
