Hi all,
Hope you are all well. I havent posted here for awhile, in fact this is my first posting since they new improved forum.
I have just been feeling really up and down lately. I feel positive one minute and then down and negative the next. I am feeling quite low at the moment because I feel like I am just not getting anywhere with my fears and I feel I go on and on about the same thing all the time, everyone must feel I am not wanting to help myself or something. I still worry constantly about my heart and everyhting it does and I feel its dominating and ruining my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know I have countless ECG test and I have my blood pressure checked just about everytime I go to the doctors but because I still get the constant awareness of my heart beating, missed/irregular heart beats, dizziness and palpitations I just think there is something wrong with my heart. I just dont know how I will ever get over this and I feel at my wits end. Would the ECG have shown if I had something wrong with my heart rhythm or had heart disease??? I am waiting on a 24 hr test but I think I will be on quite a long waiting list for this.
I have read that anxiety does not cause heart attacks but can all the constant worry and stress cause heart disease??? I used to just suffer palpitations but now its all the other weird symptoms around the heart area etc that worry me.
I just feel so unwell all the time and I know this is just not right. I constantly feel dizzy, aches and pains, tired, low energy etc.. I have been trying to watch my diet a lot more recently as I have been feeling quite strange particularly at night and find that I have to get up and eat something to feel better.....
I turn 30yrs in a few days and I feel so low becasue I just cant seem to get over these fears about my heart and health. It just seems that my life is ruined.
Sorry for going on but I just needed to get things off my chest.
Take care
sadie
