I am so worried and scared about the result from a general medical I had about 2 weeks ago. I received the results last Thursday and foolishly opened them not expecting any problems, but the report advised me to visit my GP and make an appointment to see a cardiologist. :ohmy: So needless to say I spent Easter weekend worried sick, every twinge and pain ( which I do get in my upper back ) was an impending heart attack.
I went to the GP today, my pulse and heart beat fine, she did an ecg to put my mind at rest but it showed the same as the other ecg which was inverted T waves suggestive of ischemic heart disease I am so scared that there is damage to my heart. :scared15: I have been refered to a Cardiologist who I am seeing on Thursday, which cannot come round quick enough.
Has anyone else had results likes this, I don't actually suffer from health anxiety but did have quite severe depression and anxiety last year which although the depression has gone I still get the anxiety at time. I am on an increased does of 200 mg Sertraline per day since around October 09.
Would appreciate any suggestions.
Take care
