Just typed a whole post and lost it, grrrr.
Went for my echo and treadmill last week and was told that the results were normal. I would wait for the official result which would be about a week. Not had them yet, but not to worry.
Anyway I was ok for the next day, almost boyant in the fact I could forget about any silly sensations and put them down to anxiety.
But the last few days have been a nightmare. I had a huge panic attack yesterday while out shopping when I felt ill. I had a bad stomach and had to rush to the toilet and then felt dizzy and shakey when I tried to stand back up.
I just can't seem to get my head around it all again. Every time I stand up I feel light headed and my chest feels heavy. Every time I go up the stairs I get racing heart and feel like I'm going to have skipped beats. Every time I pick my daughter up I feel like I'm going to have skipped beats and palpitations.
I just don't know what's going on if my results were normal what is all this?
I am due to see my psych again today and will of course mention this but I don't want my medication as I have had a bad time with it before and also the problems will still be there under the surface.
I keep thinking now, what if when I had the treadmill that they missed something while they weren't looking at the screen. At least two of the three of them were students so what if they don't know what they were seeing. And when they did an ECG at the beginning they said they saw blah blah but it was ok because there were big R waves. What does that mean for goodness sake.
Can you tell I'm getting myself sworked up by all this again? I really thought having the tests would put this to bed. The liklihood of there being soemthing wrong would be so minimal surely after these tests.
