Hello, i'm new, and i have to say i wish i wasn't having to come here:weep:
I have been suffering for about 4mths now with anxiety/health anxiety. I have convinced myself there is somethng wrong with my heart. It started with left sided chest pain and though i've had 2ecgs, chest xray etc all clear, i still can't convince myself i'm ok.
Dr has given me Propanalol to take. 80mg slow release. I cna't bring myself to take it, i'm scared my heart will stop....which is stupid but i'm sure some of you will understand. I just worry so much about medication and i am terrified i will not be able to breathe once i've taken it or my heart will relax to a halt.
Has anyone had a positive experience with the propranalol? Does it help with panic attacks/palps? The palpatations are new to me....like a big thud in my chest and takes a second or two to get my breath back and then a panic attack that lasts the day. Is this pretty normal? I am scared 24hrs a day.
I have two young children and a lovely husband and so i need to sort myself out soon.
Thanks xx
