Hello everyone!!
I am new here and just started reading some posts tonight. I can't believe how many people out there sound like me and I have to admit it is rather comforting.
I have been dealing with and now at my wits end with thinking everything under the sun is wrong with me. This all started about 4 yrs ago when my husband suffered his first heart attack at the age of 38. It really scared me and I can't seem to erase that from my mind. Than in 2003 he has is second one.
These experience has really taken a toll on me. I am happy to say my hubby is fine and his health has never been better.
But I know think *I* have heart problems. I have been feeling this way for about 3 yrs and it has totally taken over my life. I am very aware of my body and ever little ach I feel I somehow relate it to my heart. I have been to the ER countless number of times and they keep telling me the same thing ... PANIC ATTACKS.
I get the pains in my chest the pains in my arms sweating can't breathe feeling like I am *not real* and it's just terrible. I have 2 small children and I feel like I can't take care of them the way I should cuz I never know WHEN another attack might hit. When my legs ach I think I have blood clots when I get a headache those blood clots have now traveled to my brain and I will surely have a stroke.
I have had many test done on my heart and EVERYTHING IS FINE. My BP is a little on the high normal side but my GP says that's because of my panic/anixety I have over my hubby's health and me thinking I am dying.
I just know WHAT my hubby felt when he had his heart attacks and I feel the same things so why wouldn't I think that.
i am not looking for answers I am just looking for someone to talk with and maybe help me through the tough days and I would like to do the same for others. :)
