Aneurysm fear.....again

[Fallingapart]

I started getting panic attacks at 21.it came out of the blue just got a pop in my stomach and before I knew it I was numb,heart pounding, shaking ,throat closing, I was convinced I had a heart aneurysm,had a slew of tests done after two months I started to relax a bit, then at 26 my brother died suddenly and bam! Once again I thought I was dying I couldn't sleep for a month I'd sleep for about 20 mins and wake up with my heart pounding, bunch of tests again, nothing .It lasted a few months again. I was OK for 7 years! No irrational fear I was normal thought I had beat it until June 2016 my husband got dx with 2 aneurysms in his brain. They are small so they just monitor it. But took it harder than him! No more than 2 weeks later I was freaking out, bad vertigo it started with .i honesty had forgotten what anxiety felt like I thought I'll just continue with my life and it will pass. It got worse of course I've thought ive
Had everything you can imagine from rabies to dvts now I'm fixated once again 14 years later with the same fear of aortic aneurysm! I've had tests done of course echo, stress echo,two week holter monitor, X-ray's, I get pains everywhere pins and needles hot flashes ,I sleep only a couple of hours night. IDK what to do anymore

Tough situation, FallingApart. I'm going through something similar myself. You think the fear of having something serious has gone away, and BAM it's right back in your face. I think what really hurts the most is dwelling on worst case scenarios. I know that the thing I'm afraid of hasn't happened to me yet, (in my case, terrified of neurological issues), and it's ruining my here and now! I don't yet know what will happen, but I am afraid just like you! We need to concentrate on enjoying what's happening now, and worry about the bad stuff when it's actually happening. Hope this helps.
