I’m just looking desperately for reassurance.
I have had anxiety issues for many years including heart palpitations but for the past month I have had a new symptom of every fourth or so beat of my heart feeling “wrong” usually on waking. It’s quite mild so I don’t know if it’s happening the rest of the day and I just don’t feel it.
It is now happening when I wake up every morning like clockwork and I am so so worried and anxious, it’s now 5am on Christmas morning and I’m sat here feeling like crying. Usually when I wake up in the morning my heartbeat is so regular this is really throwing me. I even feel so calm but then I can feel it happening so clearly every few beats and suddenly I’m wide awake.
I’m also getting more frequent “big” pvcs throughout the day.
I went to the doctor and she really scared me and was really not reassuring. She has referred me for bloods and an ECG but they don’t have any appointments for weeks and she even said that if they don’t show anything that I need to get a 24hr ECG as it’s “only a snapshot in time”.
I am so scared and exhausted, I’m sat here in bed now and it’s going weird every few beats I just want to cry I feel so pathetic. Can anyone please offer any reassurance?
