I've suffered from Panic/Anxiety for just over a year and although I feel that I've made progress, I'm now starting to go back to the way I was. I worry about my heart and have done since I started having Panic attacks.
I have had countless amounts of ECG's/EKG's, an ECHO, Holter, X-Rays, Bloods... EVERYTHING! And they have all come back fine but I still have a niggling doubt that I am fine.
I get Ectopic beats for little or no reason, sometimes I get short bursts of them which makes me feel like my heart it doing the Macarena. Each time I have one I worry.
I'm 22 and feel like I've wasted the past year because of all this worry, but I don't know how to get back to normal, I still believe that 'Something' is wrong with my heart. I've read a lot of stories about Sudden death syndrome, about people who just literally drop dead from a cardiac arrhythmia which has failed to be detected due to unreliable ECG results.
You can propably see why I'm worried, I think that I am going to be one of these 'Apparently fit young' people that just drops dead. I have no family history of heart disease or anything like that but it doesn't stop me worrying.
I don't have panic atacks anymore, just anxiety symptoms at times I guess. I get dizziness from time to time, and my doctor just keeps telling me that I'm fine. I'm not though, if i was I wouldn't feel like this, would I?
In August I went to see my Mum's GP to see what he would say, he referred me to a cardiologist that specialises in the electrical system of the heart, I got my appointment the other day and it's not until MAY!!!!!! A whole 7 months away! :mad: I really don't know what to do. I'm scared, really scared that something is wrong with my heart that hasn't been detected. I just need some reassurance and advice. Sorry for rambling on, I just needed to get it off my chest. :weep:
