Hi everyone
Posted last week following four months of on /off racing heart at night with gp doing no tests but saying its anxiety and giving me cipramil which I didn't take as they can give you problems at night. Went and saw a different gp TODAY lovely one who asked me lots of questions (no-one had before) and said I NEEDED SOME TESTS - AN ECG, BLOODS ETC - OK AND MAYBE TRY DIAZEPAM TO RELAX ME AS IM ONLY SLEEPING TWO/THREE HOURS DUE TO SHEER TERROR. FELT A BIT BETTER THEN HAPPENED TO MENTION THAT SOMETIMES WHEN I START WALKING WITH MY DOGS I GET A DULL PAIN ON MY LEFT SIDE INTO MY SHOULDER WHICH GOES AFTER A WHILE AND I ALSO SOMETIMES GET THIS WHEN MY HEART RACES AT NIGHT - SHE THEN SAID- CANCEL ALL THE TESTS - YOU NEED TO HAVE A TREADMILL TEST AT HOSP IN CASE ITS ANGINA - I'M TERRIFIED BEYOND BELIEF THAT WHEN I HAVE A RACING HEART EPISODE MY HEART WILL NOT COPE AND I WILL HAVE AN ANGINA ATTACK - ENDED UP IN A AND E IN OCT WITH DULL PAIN AFTER RACING HEART AND IT HAPPENED THE OTHER NIGHT THOUGH NOT AS BAD. REALLY REALLY CAN'T DEAL WITH THIS TERROR- ON MY OWN AT NIGHT AS PARTNER WORKS AWAY - IF I DO HAVE ANGINA THEN MY RACING EPSIODES ARENT GOOD FOR MY HEART - IF I GET PAIN WHEN I SLOWLY START TO WALK HOW IS MY HEART GOING TO COPE WHEN I AM GOING AT 170 BEATS PER MINUTE WHICH AS THE DOCTOR SAYS IS LIKE JOGGING. THE TERROR WHICH WAS HORRENDOUS THIS MORNING ON TOP OF DAYS OF NO SLEEP HAS JUST GOT SO MUCH WORSE AND I DONT THINK I CAN COPE ANYMORE- I AM 49 AND HAVE JUST HAD TEST FOR THYROID CANCER WHICH WERE INCONCLUSIVE - CAN'T GO ON
