Hello all,
Im a 25yo female from southeast england. Been having panic attacks for the past 3 months, seemed to trigger off nasty ectopic beats (or just make me aware of them) which i get frequently everyday.
As soon as they started i quit smoking (cold turkey) stopped drinking alcohol, stopped consuming caffeine, deep fried foods and anything with artificial sweetners. I am overweight by about 4 stone but at 6ft for a woman i carry weight in proportion - and yes i go to the gym 4 times a week (until recently) i only have half a thyroid (removed half 6 years ago due to benign tumour) i also have PCO/PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) so find it incredibly hard to shift the weight but very easy to put it on. Recently been diagnosed with hypothyroidism as the bit i have left is starting to fail. Anyway.... i have a very stressful job (who doesn't nowadays) and this seems to give me bad acid reflux and i also have a diagnosed hiatus hernia (i could do with a fair few new parts). I am here to hopefully give and recieve a bit of support with the nasty life messing symptoms of anxiety/depression and the all dreaded ectopic beats.
Look forward to talking to some fantastic but scared people, and who knows we could cure each other (wouldn't that be nice) :yesyes:
