I haven't posted for a while as I have been feeling largely ok.
However, for the last week or so, I have been feeling completely drained of energy. I have a busy life and 3 kids to run round after and I rarely give myself time to relax. I'm also not that good at getting an early night and am frequently disturbed during the night by one or more of the children!! My husband was ill a few weeks ago and was very tired too so I am sure it is the same thing but something happened today that made me panic!!
I went swimming to try and energise myself and pushed myself too far. I swam 60 lengths and then felt really dizzy, sick and had a really racing heart. I got out and got changed but I was still feeling wierd when I got home. My back aches now too and my chest feels tight. I feel like I keep sighing and gasping and taking really deep breaths which I haven't done for ages. The worst thing is the palpitations and the fact that I keep checking my pulse all the time. I can feel myself slipping backwards into anxiety again and I don't seem able to stop it.
Maybe there really is something wrong with my heart this time :weep:
