Hey there,
Last night might uncle and cousin came to visit and we went out to dinner where I had a few drinks and we caught up. It was a great visit but on our walk home I started having these weird cold 'flushes' throughout my chest and and back between my shoulder blades. I also had the same cold flushes down my arms and legs. It was shortly after I checked my fitbit and it said my heart was beating around 155 bpm. I know this is probably anxiety and I'm going through an anxious period where I can't quite believe that it's just a panic attack. But has anyone else had these types of cold flushes in your chest and back. Even now I'm having them a little bit and I keep thinking my heart is going to give out.
I've had it once or twice before after a night of a few drinks with friends and I'm starting to worry that I've either got something wrong with my heart or the alcohol is triggering my anxiety...which sucks because I enjoy going out with friends and having some drinks (last night I only had three over a 3 hour period).
Has any of this ever happened to anyone else? The last time I went to the doctor for my anxiety he put me on a halter monitor and did an ekg and stress test and everything came back fine. My doctor said I have a strong heart. Which I keep telling myself as a way to talk myself out of the fear of having a heart attack. But then these cold flushes happen and it reignites my anxiety.
Anyway, now I'm just rambling....any advice or kind words would be much appreciated!
