Re: Worried about ectopics
Have you received any treatment for your anxiety at all? I think this would be a logical next step.
Re: Worried about ectopics
I have , but years and years ago . I’m on mirtazapine , just started a week ago - but have had a lot of therapy in the past . Various events triggered it all back off .
Re: Worried about ectopics
It might be worth looking into talking therapies just to help top up your coping strategies - I tend to find I need therapy every so often just to keep me properly functional. Bear in mind that the mirtazapine may take a while to work, too.
Re: Worried about ectopics
Hi Daisy,
I’ve had a very similar experience to you. Very much heart rate/rhythm focused anxiety.
I’ve had all sorts of tests like you with only anxiety diagnosed. Lots of PVC’s caught on ecgs but never has a doctor been concerned.
The ectopics were probably my big worry to start with as I had never had them before. The only thing I can tell you to try and ease the worry is that I found if I don’t think about them for an extended period of time, they disappear. I actually had a week without them while I was relatively calm.
I was where you are right now and I promise you it will ease. I’m still nowhere near back to my old self but am starting to see light at the end of the tunnel and you will too.
Cheers,
Al
