I've posted on here a few times about Sudden Adult Death(SADS) and peoples replies have reassured me but then something will happen and I will start to panic about it again. :(
I've been to the Doctors and had an ecg done and blood tests which I was told were fine except for Sinus Tachycardia due to being nervous during the test. Two doctors listened to my heart and my blood pressure and both said it was fine. I have no family history of people just dropping dead from a heart conditon and no one in my family has died from SADS. When listening to my heart, the beat is regular and strong and I've only passed out once which was due to being too hot. I sometimes get cheat pains and can feel my heart beating but I think this is down to anxiety.
However I can still convience myself that I have a heart condition that will cause me to drop dead at any time!! I don't want to keep going back to the doctors as I got the all clear but then I panic that the doctors could be making it up and just telling me anything!! :(
I just don't know what to do. I want to stop worrying about Sudden Adult Death and look forward to my future but I can't.
Has anyone else had this fear? How common is this SADS?
