Hi all.
I am the type of person with HA that avoids doctors and medication at all costs. I suppose I've been burying my head in the sand for a long time thinking I will cope and that all the symptoms are in my head, but I was telling some friends today about my latest syptom, which is adrenaline surges all night so that I can't sleep and they urged me to go and get it checked out. One friend has a sister who is an endocrine surgeon and was telling me about something horrible it could be :weep:
So anyway, I bit the bullet and rang the docs. I'm really nervous as on the phone they were talking about another 24hr monitor (I had one five years ago.) I am terrified there's something wrong with my heart and have been for six years. I can't go on living like this. I'm wondering whether to ask for a stress test to put my mind at rest. I know I'll be nervous and tongue-tied when I have to explain all this. I just hope he's a sympathetic doctor.
I don't know why I'm writing this really. Just that this forum has helped me so much over the past few months and I'm just terrified of what they might find :weep: Thanks for 'listening' guys. xxx
