new worries about heart - any support appreciated

[Kirst24]

Hey everyone,

My health anxiety has gone crazy over the last few months, I have always been a worrier but since I have started to feel unwell I am completely obsessed by every little feeling I have and now I am worried about my heart constantly. I have a thyroid problem which I am waiting to see a specialist about so haven't had any treatment yet, obviously this is making my health anxiety go through the roof. I just constantly check my pulse to make sure it is still beating and its getting to be really obsessive. I am on beta blockers and tried to reduce the dosage for a few days in case they were having the opposite effect but that has made it worse so going to start taking original dosage of 40mg x2 a day. I just wondered if anyone had any tips on how to convince myself that my heart is ok. I haven't been out the house in since xmas eve because I am so worried about it. It is so stupid but can't get over it and now my family are getting very annoyed with me!

Hope you all had a nice xmas xx

ive been there where u are and its awful and disabling. the doc told me heart pain comes on during exercise and eases on rest and would be dizzy or vomiting with it. she said we would deffo notice it!
As for the propranalol, i wont take it at night because i have the same worries that it will stop so i know how u feel there.
How about seeing the doc before new yr and hopefully that will reassure u x
