Wow!

Hello

I came across this site in a happy accident while Googling "heart rates". I'm only 25 so when stuff started going mad with my heart a couple of years ago I assumed I had a big problem with it and was due to pop my clogs anytime soon!

I get a high heart rate (BP seems fine), ectopics (usually following a hot flush) and sense of impending doom. Possibly other things that I didnt realise were "anxiety".

Have had 3/4 ECGs done which didnt pick up anything and still awaiting results from having a monitor for a week. On last trip to A&E chest x-ray was fine.

A lovely doctor at the A&E chatted to me about stress and how it can manifest itself as physical things. I'm starting to come round to the idea that she may actually have a point LOL The worst attack I had lately was in the week when I had so many christmas related things to remember for my 5 year old (school plays etc) plus a baby to deal with too.

Have been busy reading posts so know I'm not alone. Have also ordered a book by Claire Weekes as it had good reviews.
