I have been very anxious about my breathing for a couple of weeks - really focusing on it and taking deep breaths etc. After seeing a great doctor on Thursday who told me that it is very unlikely to be asthma (although he has arranged for me to have a spiromatry) and that it is just my anxiety playing up again, I was feeling a little more positive.
Typically, by Thursday evening (only a few hours later!!), I was worrying about something else - my heart!! I have become very focussed on my heartbeat now. On Thursday evening, I had ectopics all night until I went to sleep. Since then, I have had them a few times on Friday evening and I have just noticed a few in the last half an hour. My father-in-law had a heart attack a couple of weeks ago and my Grandma is also due to have a procedure to fit a pace maker due to having an irregular heartbeat. This has set me off. Can we really influence how our hearts beat?
My blood pressure is fine (I have a home monitor) and my heart rate is pretty good - between 68 and 82 bpm. It's just these jumpy heart things!!
I don't want to start obsessing about somethng else now!! Any advice, please!!!
